 Mushroom Hunting

The Last Call 

 Mushroom hunting season is drawing to a close.. Here a few late edible bloomers we spotted while walking around the woods. Remember always do your own research before deciding to feast on wild fungus delights. Don't use this site for making your final decision,  I'm a beginner too.
 

Lion's Mane

Look for on dead or dying hardwoods, especially the Beech Tree.

Shaggy Mane

Look for them in short grass.  If you see them collect them quick, they go by very quickly!                                                                  



Puff balls are spotted!

Make sure when you cut them they are all white inside.


What have you found during your walks in the woods?

                                 October                                                               

O Husband October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O Husband October morning mild,
begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.

Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.

Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost-
 For the grapes' sake along the wall.
-Robert Frost.

Here's to the Fall!
