Staveshaver Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Since I'm new here, I have a bunch of mushroom pictures on my phone you guys haven't seen, and I'm bored, I'm going to post some that I took within the last year or so. The first picture is of a mushroom that I found growing out of a knothole on an ancient apple tree on my grandfather's place. The tree is at least 90 years old. I have no idea what kind of mushroom it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staveshaver Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I thought I had those in better focus. I resized most of them though and I think they can get blurry when I do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Nice pics. You sure have a good assortment of awesome edibles there. I don't mean to suggest they are all edible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staveshaver Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 It's hard to tell in the picture, but that sulfur growing on the side of the cherry tree was huge. I had to go home and get a ladder to reach it, and when I cut it off in one piece it hit me in the chest and almost knocked me off the ladder. Couldn't put my arms around it and it weighed over 20 lbs. Here's that day's cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWlake Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Love the pics! that first one may be hypsizygus ulmarius or elm oyster. Kind of hard to tell with the bluryness. but its a start. I find them to be meaty and delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staveshaver Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Thanks. Yeah, last year was an epic year for shrooms here. I thought perhaps a once in a lifetime event, but I hope not. I was covering a LOT of new territory too, and found some awesome places. One place I named 'Valley of the Shrooms' because it was so deep, dark, damp, and bountiful every time I entered. I found so many, and such a wide variety, many I had only seen in books up to that point... not my most productive for edibles.... but still my favorite place to visit.

Staveshaver Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 We had a great year for sheepshead here last year, I hunted them hard and found 113 of them. 11 around one tree! I hope we have another good year this time. I bought a big dehydrator today in anticipation :^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eat-bolete Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 yes last year was great for hens. I'm already looking for some big oaks as I hike, so I come back in a month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staveshaver Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I think I found that orange/yellow mushroom in one of my books. Pholiota aurivella... Golden Pholiota. Sure looks like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
