Never hunted anything but morels but am planning on trying for some summer/fall mushrooms this year. Anybody from the southern part of the state want to give a good date to start looking...from what I have read so far it is still a couple of weeks away...

 

[brookie]

no trumpets or chanterelles so far. I have found these I think these are parasols

 

[brookie]

and these I think are american parasols

 

[brookie]

not sure what these are white hollow stem and white gills growing in large clusters around small oak trees...

 

[brookie]

anyone know what is happening here...

 

[brookie]

found these two chickens yesterday. looks like one of each type one sulphureus and one cincinnatus



no chanterelles or trumpets sighted

 

[sully]

Those red and white mushrooms are Russala's

 

[sully]

also that white growth on the ground looks like mycelium starting.As for the Fox Valley, I have found about 25 pounds of chicken, 3 pounds of oysters, one blewit, one small chanterelle and one softball sized puffball.

 

[brookie]

Thats what I thought the white stuff was. Is there a way to store the chickens that is good. dehydrate or freeze somehow ?

 

[sully]

I dehydrate all my mushrooms unless there is a small amount then I eat them right away

[brookie]

Congrats Brookie! I am an amateur and don't know what the chubby ones are. I see them in the woods but I don't pick them because I don't want to kill my stupid self lol....

 

[garden]

p.s. Did you notice any little cinnabars by your patches of chanterelles? I am wondering if anyone else is seeing them.

 

[brookie]

no cinnabars only what is in the picture. I think its still pretty early here in southern wisconsin...

 

[brookie]

found a few tiny cinnabars today...and plenty of trumpets. 3.5 tall and 2.5 across was the biggest.

 

[brookie]

Jack can you ID this for me. It doesnt look like the other chickens I found but was growing out of the ground about 3ft from an oak. It doesn't stain so is it just a pale cinncinatus...it is very thin not thick like the others i found...

 

[garden]

Oh wow, that is beautiful....

 

[brookie]

my book says that is what they look like when they are mature and no good to eat lol...

 

[shroomtrooper]

where do you find the black trumpets?
