Look at these beauties! View attachment 36307 View attachment 36308 View attachment 36309

I hereby nominate @ShroomerDan for Chants of the year.

 

[mmh]

I commend all of you that have the courage to endure the heat, summer vegetation, which in my area can include nettles knee high, along with what I call swamp butt due to having to wear long pants in the heat. I usually hunt Northern Michigan and many may think it is nutty but I wear shorts unless the temps. are too cool. All of you are mushroom warriors, I read your posts and commentary frequently. Shroom on my friends

I wear shorts about half the time this time of year too. I do wear long pants on any given day I am freaked out by snakes. I have this innate ability to walk up on all kinds of wildlife, and snakes are one of them. Big snakes.
Man I just don't love seeing em. Not in the mushroom patches! LOL

We call it swamp @$$, my brother used to called it "SWASS." haha

Cool photos! I don't know what photo #4 is, but I'd sure like to know if you ever find out! It's really cool looking with that dark up-rolled edge. Please post about it if you get any info in the future!

Walked in one helluva mess today. New spot. Twisted mess. But I finally walked up on a great patch of smooth chants.

And, and, finally under OAKS. My first oak chants!

What I think are red chanterelles up here in the northwest...

 

[Kokomorel]

Had a good day lots of shrooms

Koko's into them hard so I decided to look behind my house. Found 5 areas with chants and picked maybe 6. Also found a gorgeous snake, about 4' long. Think it's a bull snake.

Man I have so many piles of projects at home and farm to do..
I'm tryn to get back into the wood

I just remembered this crazy mushroom dream from last night..
There in the woods near a creek, but hidden some what in the tall patches of under Growth...
Was big fluffy pure white foam puffs,
Like cheese puff snacks..but these where white and like 2ft tall fluffy almost floating away..as they sway with the wind...and mingle in with them..
Huge and so so fresh MORELS...
Like a foot and a half tall...
I even cut um in half to confirm they where Morels..
I can't remember where I was exactly

All right, you guys got me going. I have time Saturday, going to fish but come he’ll or high water I’m looking for some mushrooms.
I think that might be a black rat snake, found a juvenile early this spring then one of the parents on my patio
