angela Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I was just out for a walk in the mist after a rainy day, and I swear I found a lion's mane, pom pom, or whatever you want to call it, mushroom. It's very young, but I'm hoping that will reduce the chance of bitterness. I found it growing out the cut side of an oak log. I thought they were a fall mushroom, but it is spring in Virginia. I'll grant we've had some very strange weather, with an early warm-up in the winter, and then very cold weather very late in the season. I don't know if the mushroom thought it was fall, or if it isn't that uncommon to find them in the spring. I've only seen them in late summer and fall around here.

bobby b Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I've seen them listed in spring but usually a fall mushroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Some types of mushrooms have a "split season", fruiting in fall and sometimes also in spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
