Mushroom and other wild edible foraging

[Salmo_g]

A bit back from the river into the trees some chanterelles were found yesterday. Shad took 'em home.

Not an edible mushroom, but quite distinctive, golden Pholiota (Pholiota aurivella). On a walk this afternoon, I encountered a cluster of these that had emerged from the cut trunk of a cottonwood.

Shaggy manes popping beside our driveway. Might have to pick these tomorrow.

I don’t mess with them, but it’s Amanita Muscari time on my local haunts

They look so tasty, like a freshly baked muffin. Can't remember if that one is a liver transplant, or just a horrible psychotic trip.

The latter, but I would imagine the former is an option if done incorrectly.

I have been out on hikes, seen fresh whole Aminita Muscari, and on the way back they have been partially eaten! Rodents of some kind it looked like to me.

Some squirrels eat them...red squirrels and oddly enough

Flying Squirrels

I think that's where they got the name

So, I am assuming that the Lobster and Chanterelles will be popping out soon in the Mt Baker cascades area, after the first good soaking rain we get.

Surprised….didn't think there’s been enough rain.

I'm up in the kootenays, so far a fantastic fall for mushrooms, especially pines. the season got saved by a solid few days rain in September.

Thanks for the info, still too dry here. Enjoy hunting for them, never been able to eat them! Family and friends benefit…..I compare it to fishing, trolling around the woods looking…..
