I will be in a few days. We finally got a significant rainfall, about 2", yesterday evening and overnight. First we've had in a while. maybe that will get things going around here! It's been really quiet so far this year.
Been a pretty poor Fall here. Never saw a single hen, pinky, oyster, or anything else. Basically, the only thing that was a plus for me this season was that I found a place where there were Chants.
I found some strange mushrooms, polypores I assume, that I didn't recognize and thought I'd post them here to see if any of you-all might have a clue. They were about 5-6 inches across and they are kinda fuzzy or hairy on top and the underside was a greenish yellow tint. Any thoughts out there? Happy Shroomin'......
The underside, (and thank you for that pic), does NOT look like a polypore, but more like a "toothed" mushroom. I can't get any more specific than that. This is one I've also never seen before.
I noticed that as well. Maybe we'll get more people to weigh in on that. It's kinda cool to find one that I've never found before. Hopefully I can put a name on it just for knowledge's sake! Thanks for the reply!

Howdy Jack... @jack
Wade here...
Finally answering you both a year and a half later..dang sorry ..
That pistol of Robins is a ..RUGER SR22 LR
it does look so similar to some bigger cal.
We bought it for only $200 near new from another lady..with extra clip and three grip choices all in original case..
She is really proud of it..
Been a while! Chants are finally up here. We had the temps, but needed a couple of good rains to bring them up. Another big storm yesterday PM which I'm sure you folks felt, as that's where it came from! Other than that, nothing!
Well, the rains came, and we finally enjoyed some results! Had a nice double header today with Chants and Chickens! I knew the Chants would be on that ridge, but the Chicken log is brand new! I know that because this is in a County Metropark that doesn't allow gathering! Yeah, right!
I've been hiking the trail along that ridge that leads right past that log for a good 3-4 years now! There's never been a Chicken on it! Today, I spotted them from 70 yards away!
Always a good time in the woods.
I found another, and finally harvested my first chicken. Tried a small amount last night, egg flour seasoning and fried it. Was as advertised somewhat chicken like in taste and texture. Going to try it on the grill with teriyaki tomorrow
Good to see you trying some fall shrooms if you like chicken you love the hens.
