Mushroom Hunting


Recommended Posts

Has anyone looked around for any mushrooms while out turkey scouting? I heard a few "shrooms" were starting to show up. I haven't been out looking yet. I know where the turkeys are, but I'll give the Morels a couple more weeks.

Recently moved here a few years ago from up North. I'm at the same longitude as you in Clarksville. Never been morrel hunting here in North Tn. but. My neighbors are telling me if prime conditions exist, mid March until mid April? I'm looking forward to trying to find some. They are so flavorful no matter how you make them.

How about I buy all you find for say, $2.00 per pound :up:

Good luck!

It is illegal to sell mushrooms although you see them on Craigslist.
 

My wife and I try to hunt them each year but last year screwed us up with the mild winter. We have found an area where we can get 3-5 pounds every couple of weeks throughout the season. Not the easiest place to get to for me but it is worth it.

I'm sure there's lots of things growing in the woods that is illegal to sell, especially a few hundred miles north of here, LOL. Edited by BigK

This past fall I started hunting "Oyster Mushrooms" that grow on logs. Easy to identify and are delicious! And, on top of the fun of picking mushrooms, I got a serious case of "seed ticks". The "last straw" was finding those same "oyster musrooms" for sale at the grocery store! All that itching and scratching......sheez......

I am mushroom shy.  Growing up here in East Tennessee, in the mountains.  My grandmother use to teach me that virtually all growing mushrooms were poisonous.  If I recall, her rule was, if its smooth, its okay to eat, if its rough or has texture, they were dangerous.  So for 40 years, I have been grounded to this teaching.  I have never harvested any mushroom other than what is served on a pizza.
