Ugh, sounds like you either developed a general allergy to cotw, or [possibly more likely] you have an allergy to the eastern hemlock variety. Bummer regardless, but I certainly understand your unwillingness to try dealing with that nonsense again! How do you feel about chanterelles? I think my personal top three are morels, cotw, and chanties - in whatever order I feel on any given day. Honeys are probably next on the list.

Lots of great finds today! Now that we finally got some rain, I can’t wait to see what else starts popping

Yeah! I needed to get into the woods and I thought that this heat might of pushed them along. Was a nice walk though.

Sorry I’ll do better and take a picture in the woods it was 15 feet in the air though. A little dry on top but salvageable

Like usual this year we need some rain.
Anyone finding anything. I’m looking for chants but haven’t seen any.

Coral fungi taste a lot like morels. Delicious.

There they are. I know the heat and rain would push them up. Cant wait to get out and grab some.

I know this has nothing to do with mushrooms but been having a blast catching frogs. This was her 1st time grabbing them by hand. She caught well over 30. We got 149 that night yummy.

Hey all!! So frustrated right now because I can't get pics to work on my new computer yet, and we got 10 golden chanterelles today! All the rain we've been getting has paid off, and I wish I could show you. We collected them in Saratoga County, and last week, we found one sad little cinnabar chant in Washington County. Love chanties so much, and I'm really enjoying everyone's pics - some excellent finds!

@hoblershang Your daughter's smiles are absolutely wonderful to see, she's so proud! Congrats for the haul [though I'll just pretend all the froggies made it safely back to their homes]! Just want to add that although I don't judge at all, I do appreciate seeing the live frogs.

 

[Ryan gebo]

i think he let the frogs go.... after the delicious meal they made
