Found these golden colored raspberries amongst a black raspberry thicket. They were extra sweet, kinda like a pineberry. Never found em before.

Found some usable crown-tip coral last night, along with a handful of smaller chants in Scott County. Lotsa pinning chants. Still looking for a decent chicken.

Spent 3 hours last evening in Olmsted County: 12 pounds chanterelles and a few lobsters to boot. I also harvested sone ramp bulbs, the latest I've ever done so. The bulbs were a tad less flavorful than spring ramps but tasty nonetheless.

I believe the third pic is Fuzzy Foot, the xeromphalina genus. Not edible in the least but pretty cool looking.

Can anyone help identify? Looks like a Matsutake. View attachment 44309

Need more pics but looks like some kind of puffball or earthball from my vantage.

Im pretty sure this is a coliflower mushroom just thought I would post it to confirm with some of you that know more about them than me View attachment 44260

That looks like a Cauliflower to me, however I've never found one myself. Did you eat it? That one is at the top of my mushroom bucket list. Also, great job piling up hens, as usual.

I can't believe its already that time, for Maitake... My new place has become a mushroom mecca! I honestly don't think I've ever seen so many different species of mushrooms in one place! I've been finding some really nice meaty smooth chants, and found 5 porcini just 15 feet from my front door, growing from the lawn. Lawn basically being woods, but mowed... Haven't had time to good full-on foraging, but hope to this week. Good luck out there!

Awesome dude, I'm jealous!

Found a few nice hens over the past week with the boy. Elm oysters popping in good numbers in the northeast metro.

Thanks for sharing jg. We just received of those Back To the Roots boxes as a gift (the gray variety). Super helpful to visualize the process/progress. Best darn guidebook of all time featured in the background too...

A buddy and I went out and found some turkeytail in good shape along the Mississippi River. He makes a double extraction (water and alcohol) elixir using chaga, birch polypore, and turkeytail. It was fun to be out on the hunt in some capacity. Happy Holidays all, may your table be full with fungus...
