Mushroom hunting

[Matt Hixson]

Anyone else out there like to hunt mushrooms on your trips? Just found this guy growing here at home today. I'm in northwest Washington State.

I don't know anything about mushrooms but I know I like to eat them. (<;

My daughter's got a guide for mushrooms for me for my birthday to help identify what I was seeing on trips. Informational interest, not gastronomical.

We used to find morels all over when I was a kid here in Ohio, but nobody lets you wander their land any more, and a lot of the farm woodlots are now subdivision...

Lots of Morels in Kansas. Not a lot of competition for them either.

Lots of Chanterelles for the picking in the mountains above Taos. Many more for photographing.

Im jealous, living in Reno makes mushrooms a bit hard to find :(

Grew up and hunted in the coos bay, Oregon area and had a spot that could pick a few grociery bags full of Chanterelles. Man i miss having fresh mushrooms :(

Those were a staple growing up. Venison and chanterelles every fall, which was a nice break after summer of Salmon day after day.

Lots of beautiful chantrelles here in the Santa Cruz Mountains if you know where to look. We packed out a 50 lb rice bag full of morels four years back at a killer spot off a four wheel drive track in the Tahoe area the year after a big series of fires. We dried a ton and had killer soups and casseroles for months. We are always in the hunt for ones we can identify properly.

I have a couple of places I know to get morels in northern Nevada. I also like the puffball mushrooms as well. When I lived in Oregon, ruffed grouse and morels were our delicacy. Roll the birds in flour and fry them and the morels in the same pan of butter.
