Attention ALL MUSHROOM HUNTERS

[RowdyRay]

same here Ray, although sounds like them chicken of the woods shroom are pretty much found only on oak.... my stand is almost entirely maple,but i guess someone has to say this so i will, if you cannot positively identify the mushroom dont eat it. and its not necessarily that the mushroom is "poison"... alot has to do with how the person eating reacts to them, even some people dont agree with morels, which we all know to be a good eater except for the false morel. also when trying a new wild mushroom do in moderation at the beginning... and then there is this old saying...

There are OLD mushroom hunters,
And there are BOLD mushroom hunters...
But there are no OLD BOLD mushroom hunters.

A good field guide is essential in identification.

by the way MH, nice haul!!!

I agree. That's why I have no shrooms. I won't pick it if I'm not sure.
