Edibles May-June


Recommended Posts

Now that morel season is over, what edibles are possible to find between now and July? Wine caps? Oysters? Puffballs maybe? Anything else?

Late May through early June is typically a down time for fungi around here. But a few edibles are found during this time... Oysters, Chicken Mushroom (the white-pored L. cincinnatus), King Stropharia (young unopened caps are good), Polyoprus umbellatus (rare), Pluteus species (mediocre IMO), Dryad's Saddle, and the occasional morel from a late spot (cool high elevation area).

Usually (weather dependent) I start looking for the mycorrhizal species around the third week of June... chanterelles, boletes. Last year, the very warm May followed by a wet June got things going earlier than usual. But some years these types don't appear until the end of June.

I agree, Dave here in the Midwest there is usually about 3-4 week lull in the action after the morels are gone. Kind of stinks waiting.

Here in western PA I started finding bi-colors on June 18th last year. Only found them in one spot but with all the rain we had they were really poppin. The following week started a big flush of black trumpets. They were in many spots. Still have some. I'm sure there's surprises to come.

My buddy south of me here in Ohio found 4 bi color boletes last weekend, my oak, beech hickory woods are barren except for ginseng right now. Lovely to see after a few mile walk with a 5 week old mangled/broken toe, good luck all. Rain rain and more rain...please! :hampsterdance:
