My first Mushrooms

I finally caught some mushrooms, lived here over 6 years and have heard allot about hunting mushrooms but never tried to find them.
Earl told me to be really quiet or they would go back down, so we walked really slow till he found one then he called me over and asked me if I could see it............I looked.........and looked and then I saw it, tiny little thing poking out from under a leaf.
It is defiantly a learned skill to see these things.
I have yet to eat one of these wild mushrooms, no body would share, but I'm gonna tomorrow:cool:

Be vewey, vewey quiet, I'm hunting mushwooms:D

Way to go! I'm looking forward to finding a few after being gone for 20+ years
Crappie and Shrooms. It just don't get any better

You'll be hooked.......those little suckers are awesome!!!

What you've got there is the best thing you've every fried up with crappie!!!:)

that right there is about as additive as crack.

Monk called it.....fry em up with some fillets and mountain oysters for a side dish;)

Rugs, do yerself a favor and go 1/2 and 1/2 with crappies filets and you won't EVER forget that meal!

Do you have some woods around your house? I checked around a creek that runs around a field behind my house and didn't see anything. The ones I found yesterday were out at Grand Pass Wildlife Preserve really close to the MO river.

Nice shrooms I've been out 3 or 4 times havent got any yet, but if anybody is lookin for ticks send a PM and i'll tell you were you can get some:mad:

I think I must be missing something. NEVER tried any of those nasty lookin little critters. Taters and Gravy bout as wild as I get. Guess sometime I'll give um a try.

If you've never had them, you OBVIOUSLY don't know what you are missing. They are so good...... OMG! I've gone out each evening and nothing yet, but it's very dry in Howard County. We need rain!!! You can put your name on a list at the local grocery stores and buy them by the pound. Very tasty.

Jack, do you eat them? I know you don't eat fish/seafood. Maybe if you don't you could at least go find them and give some to Frosty and ME. ;)

Uh..that would be a BIG no. If it doesn't have four legs and moo, I don't eat it. Well wait...there's pizza...and watermelon...and pasta; there you have it! The four basic food groups:)

Yea, they are weird looking, but they do taste very good. They have a mushroom taste, but very different than any other type.
That would be cool if they were edible brains that magically attached to mine, I could really use them and I aint' just sayin' (and you can believe everything in this post just sayin')

went back out today found three lil greys and thats it. now that we`ve had some rain we need lotsa sun and warmer temp, this 60 degress during the day and 38 tonite aint gonna cut it:mad:

I was at the nursing home this morning visiting my Dad when my Mom called my cell. She found one of those big icecream buckets full of mushrooms and wondered if I wanted them??? HECK YEAH!!!! :D :D :D They have an old swingset that was modified into a humongous bird feeder and she found them while birdwatching from inside her kitchen. LOL!!! Go MOM! :)

We got 32 sprinkles yesterday and that was it. C'mon rain!!

Earl is out there as I type, he's been finding quite a few the last couple of days, but people are walking on top of each other at Grand Pass
