Here are some finds from a quick weekend camping trip in Wisconsin for this #mushroommonday
It seems Wisconsin is always loaded full of golden oysters whenever we go camping.
We harvested quite a bit of fresh ones as it was rainy the whole weekend and these guys were hatching out everywhere. They tasted great, much better than oysters grown from a block or ones bought in the store.
The grass likes to grow in the driftless area of Wisconsin and loads of mower mushrooms hatched out every morning.
My daughter enjoyed picking these and they were everywhere.
By the end of they day they disappeared but there were many more again out in the morning the next day.
Here is a little unidentified pinning pair near a waterfall.
This is probably a pigskin puffball, I was going to cut it in half to see if it was black inside but the mosquitos were biting too bad and I had to run away.
Here are some little toothed polypores.
They were all over the dead logs. I see this stuff in Illinois as well.
Now for the waterfall. If you are mushroom hunting and happen to know of a waterfall definitely go there as the constant humidity fuels the fungi nearby.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
Ah, such beautiful photos, it actually looks like Sweden. We seem to live in the same climate zone. I'm going out this week and see what I find on my treasure hunt. It's been raining here every day for 2 months, depressing isn't it? I live very close to a huge Bok forest. I'll check out what it's called in Swedish Karl Johan after an old Swedish king, who I love to cook!
I wish I had king boletes over here. We just get tiny bicolors and a range of inedible ones here. I don't mind the rain as I grew up in the desert blasting sun is way worse.
Are you able to eat any of those?
The golden oysters are edible all the rest aren't. Mower mushrooms have a tiny bit of psylocibin in them but you might need a huge amount of them to get any effect.
how beautiful!
It's great finding perfect edible specimens, sometimes I get to them too early or too late to harvest.
