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.

Not seeing a lot of post's. I hope im not the only one finding the luck!

Beautiful!!! What is the third pic of?

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

In the east metro at least, I I’ve had pretty slim luck. There’s been one spot producing some chants, but not as many as usual and everywhere else I try has zero sign of any mushroom, edible or not. Feels a lot like last year did.

What's the consensus on red russula? Some books, and posts say NO, others say YES. I t took a small bite out of one and spit it out. Quite spicy. Nothing else. Thoughts?

My book says absolutely NOT for Rosy and Reddish Russulas, yes for Shrimp Russula if you can positively identify it. I say don't bother, its not worth getting intestinal sickness...

I pop on here and live vicariously through you guys, so please keep it up. I've been wrapped up in a home remodel for the last 6 months, but it goes up for sale on Friday FINALLY! So hopefully I can contribute to the forum soon...
Good Luck out there.

I always just call them Red Devil Russula....I know there are some like the shrimp. But I avoid them all, not worth it and I'm a novis even after doing this 15 years.

Great pics! I'm planning to take my boy to one of my favorite August spots on Saturday. He's 3 and its finally time for him to hike with me! I've been so busy for the last 6 months that he's pretty excited to have some Dad time finally. Hopefully my spot has had enough rain to make it worth while. Plus, I still need to hike my property, which I haven't done all summer. Good luck out there!

Well my spot seems to very “loud” with the sounds of trumpets this year.

It’s a wetland area I have by my house. It’s dry this year so I’m lucky. Lots of ferns also. Not the normal mossy ground like I find them other places. I’ll try and get out again this week and take more of a picture showing surrounding and the like.

Would love to see some pics

Some chantrelles and chokecherries we picked today! Anyone know what kind of mushrooms the other pick is? Its not chicken of the woods has an under side similar to hedge hogs

Color is all wrong for a chicken of the woods. Hard for me to tell if it's a polypore or toothed fungus. I think it could be northern tooth. Went back and re-read your post. If the underside is like hedgehog, then it is a toothed fungus, and I'm confident that it is northern tooth. Not poisonous, but considered inedible due to bitter flavor and tough texture.

jg010682 · 2022-08-13T21:59:18-0400

Thank you I have seen it before just wasnt sure what it was

Not arguing about it, but i have seen chicken of the woods very cream color.
