Dozer Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Well, 'tis the season. Been cleaning mushrooms for the last 6 hours which were harvested this morning. So many mushrooms we had to stop picking them. Back to the cutting board, not looking forward to back pain tomorrow but its well worth it. Anyone else finding unusally high numbers of 'shrooms this year? We've been twice so far and hitting some serious loads, todays hunt yeilded 5 bucket fulls ( between two people ) of superb quality, fresh, firm fungi. The weekenders are sure going to be disappointed, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahumba Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Staring at the tiles on the kitchen floor. My God I can remember doing that. I'm sitting here laughing at that comment! Imagine taking those now? I would end up flipping right out. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 For as hot a summer as we had in central/southern Ontario, we also had a very wet summer. I would think that would help the crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I went to an ethnic store that specializes in Asian ingredients and found a 20 lb bag of sliced and dried shittake mushrooms for $56.00.How long will that amount last your average mushroom ?

bare foot wader Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 for some reason.... mushrooms and ice fishing seem to go hand in hand... not that I have ever tried it...G haha...isn't that true anybody ever hear of fire morels? grow in coniferous forests but they explode in burn paths following the 1-2 yrs after a fire....I'm not the biggest fan of shrooms in my food but these things are amazing and if you can't find any to pick IMO worth splurging at least once in your life to try them at a restaurant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Don't know what they are but I've had them popping up all over the place in the last week or so. I've seen them grow up to 6" high practically overnite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadadude Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Picked a couple of bags this morning, lots around this year, walked about 50yds into the bush and the stumps are just covered could fill the back of a pick-up if I went through the whole bush.

ehg Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Honey mushrooms.Yum. Honey mushrooms are like N. American shitakkes. Very fine edibles! Many, many excellent mushrooms to be found with a little research. Chantrelles are abundant and found in the early fall. Also Black Trumpets, Ceps, Sweet Tooth, Blewit and on and on this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
