Ive never tried the Velvet foot....they are kinda sticky....and orange colored shrooms kinda sceer me anyway.....
Those oysters in your pics look perfect BTW.....what will you do with 20 pounds? |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009
Looks like it runs into Taneycomo....could be good??Don't sound like you're too fond of them Velvet Foots.Sounds like a good day...out in this weather and the sunshine and all,I'd prob. still be standin on that rockpile,LOL! |
| jason| | | | November 20, 2009
I forgot
there were some shrooms ........a bunch actually
Velvet foots are up!!!!!!....everybody go get em!!!!.....enjoy!!!!!! |
| Jason| | | | November 20, 2009
its ahhhh......Bear creek....I think it runs towards forsyth...I think
Located betwixed Ozark and Branson....at Busiek state park....
and them rocks are clean enough to eat off of....cause a biggass flood just re-arranged them all ....and it did a good job
I think you could or would like it if you were here .....no shrooms though |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009
Jason,I see the pinheads,you need to cut a hole and let those little doods out,Ha Ha.No realy they look like they want out????(what would I know).In the pic the Oysters you're growing look pretty big?Yeah,if that rock pile was showin some good flakes I definately could spend some time there.That does kinda look like a Cottonwood,did you get a look at the leaves around it?Speakin of leaves,those rocks were clean,is that a tributary of the James river??I'm headed your way right now(I wish)!Oh I'll bring ya a bag of Oysters too(why not)! |
| Jason| | | | November 20, 2009
KC...hell ya I am eatin them tiny little shrooms....I forgot to put a water bottle next to em.....like you did with your dead deer...haha...you are funny.
they are just little baby shrooms.....If I would trim some off from the get go............I would get bigger ones
look close on my bottom pick....you can see tons of tiny white sideways pinheads behind the plastic.. |
| Jason| | south of everybody , moo. | | November 20, 2009
I went out and did some "advanced morel scoutin " today....
I think this is a cottonwood???....(insert your answer here)
and here is a biggass washed up pile o rocks......and there is a lot more available here also.
They sorts made me think .....arrowheads....looked like a man (KC or LC'er)could stay pretty busy there
|
| | | | | November 20, 2009
what do ya call it when you hunt shrooms and find absolutely nuthin??
you call it....advanced scouting for new morel spots |
| KC R&OYSTER| | | | November 20, 2009
Stack the flapjacks!! About 20#s.....they had a high moisture content. |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009
Right on TMK,bring-em on!!! |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009

Heading out to slam some Oysters Pictures a Ten story at 11. |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009
Here's some bigger ones I found but didn't keep.  > |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009
Carpenter in kc,I'm not sure where you live In Grandview but if you go West to the Blue River and go to the bottoms and look for dead standing and downed Willow and Cottonwood Tree's you will surely find Oyster Mushrooms.They are the only White gilled group-fruiting shrooms around right now!If there is any question,do a spore print and it will be white.As far as books go just buy one....you will prob. buy more than one eventually.The Mushrooms Demystified is a good one but there are lots of good books out there.Also you could go to James A. Reed and look for Willows around their ponds. |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009
These doods are fresh,meaty,and not too large!This is one of the larger clumps.  |
| KC R&M| | Oysterville USA | | November 20, 2009
Here is the other side and belly,LOL. |
| carpenterinkc| | grandview, mo | | November 20, 2009
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which mushroom field guide to get? I am noticing there are quite a few and I would like to focus on the mushrooms that are indigenous to this area? Any thoughts would be appriciated! |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009
Here's that log that gave me two and a half pounds of buttons last week. |
| KC R&M| | | | November 20, 2009
Jason,those are some pretty specimens,are you eating those dudes??One advantage is you never have to clean those indoor Oysters!The bottom pic definately looks like from an Alien planet! |
| KC R&M| | Oysterville | | November 19, 2009
Hey guys,I just got in......yeah Jason I did see Andrew eating mushrooms on the AT. I also saw a series on the AT,,,as you prob. know it spans 13 states!It was a very cool program.Yep,I saw one of them 8-point Oyster eaters whilst Oyster Picking,he was laying on his side w/cloudy eyes....got a pic and lots of Oyster picks to post tomorrow!Kccarpender....you must have found a polypore of some kind....prob. a Artists Conk is one guess,but don't give up they're out there for the picking.Jason,that barkless tree that put out the small buttons last week refruited like a Bastard Rat!!!!Good luck Morelin...hope you find some good ones!! |
| Jason| | | | November 19, 2009
well thanx morelin!!
its a good thing I got into growin them I guess....heres why
I have been huntin the oyster bottoms for 10 years (i think)
....and now....all the sudden....the darn deer have learned how to pick em too.
I wondered why I did not see hardly any last year.....I think them deer have been watchin me or something....these are city deer and wont get shot (unfortunately)
I just got back from my happy spot....and had zero shrooms in my bag to show for it!!! |
| carpenterinkc| | grandview, mo | | November 19, 2009
Thanks Morelin, no I need to get one! if it's anything other than morels I'm clueless... but interested!! I guess thats where it starts. |
| Morelin'| | The Land of Oz | | November 19, 2009
Jason those are freakin' nice!@#$ I'll be in the woods in an hour or so and try to post some wild finds.....and Carpenter NO those are not Oysters...do you have a mushroom book? |

The bizzare foods dewd(dewed or dood)....his appalachian episode on the travel channel.....he was pickin maitakes and honeys towards the end of that episode (about 42 minutes into it to be exact)

Hey all I haven't posted since morel season but was wondering if someone could help me. I have never hunted oysters but I found a large stump covered in what I believe are oysters, they look just like the picture KCR&M posted on the 13th with the water bottle. The bottom is coral or sponge like rather than gill like. Think I have oyster's? if so whats the best way to prepare them. |

| KC R&M| | | | November 19, 2009
Hey thanks,I'm doing a couple of errands and then do some picking too!!Good luck....find a BUNCH!!! |
| Morelin'| | Need more Oyster recipes Kansas | | November 19, 2009
Sure KCR&M I'll do my best...I have to work this morning but after that I'll try and do the all you can pick Oyster challenge if there is time....I hope everyone is getting their fill this year. Yeah James sometimes a log just doesn't cooperate but there are many logs in the forest. At least this time of year one can see the forest through the trees!!! Some friends up the road had collected some monster flapjacks in western Kansas a couple days ago to go with some pheasant...I was impressed....Happy Hunting!!!! |
