Fall Mushroom Hunt

Our Leader Diane shows The Great Northern Puffball Pheasant Back Mushroom Chicken of the Woods Mushroom

Sunday Afternoon Mushroom Hunt

We received a letter from the Township Trustees that a local wild mushroom expert was conducting a woodland search for Fall Mushrooms. Diane brought the three photographed mushrooms to show what we might be looking for. Also we were treated to a taste of the Chicken Of The Woods mushroom which actually had the flavor of roasted chicken.

We were given the suggestion to just wander into the woods and return with our find. My husband and I each had bags to collect our specimens. The identification was that our find was all non-edible. My theory on Fall Mushrooms if you are not an expert .... they are very reasonable when commercially purchased and indentified as safe to eat.
