Hello, I will be NEW to the St.Thomas area and I LOVE mushrooms particularly Chanterelles. I wondered if you can pick these beauties in the area? I also wondered about free land- meaning one can walk any where as they do in Scandinavia? Are there forest that one can go pick Chanterelles in the area? I am Canadian but have been living out of the country for over 20 years, things tend to change.
I am not very knowledgeable at all about forest picking and defining what is edible or not. I have A LOT to learn, hence my reason for joining this group. The other reason is, I have cancer and I have been taking medical mushrooms for over a year. I wondered if you can find Turkey Tail, Chaga, Maitake and Reishi I am interested in for medical use.
I look forward to get to know you and the information. One last question, is there anyone else with cancaner using mushrooms? If so I would enjoy hearing what you are doing.
Thank you in advance for your responses
