My future son in law found some Morels along our driveway about 2 weeks ago.
Enough to have one meal. First time I've had them in 20 yrs.

While at our Trad club shoot near Eckville this past weekend, my buddy saw some Oysters on a old fallen poplar. I got about a half gallon after cleaning. I'll cook them up for breakfast tomorrow. Happy to hear they're as good or better than morels.

Question for all the mushroom experts, are these Morels or false morels?

Those are morels. Look like the older ones. But morels.

Found some great oysters in the past two days.
Seems the ones that are on standing trees are browning and the ones that were still nice and white were on mostly fallen logs.
But I did find a great crop on a broken tree stump too.

Default Eastern Slopes Mushrooms

I went out last weekend south of Hinton to look for Red Tops but did not find any. I did find it dry but thought I still would find the odd one. Hoping with the rain and a bit of heat that maybe this weekend will be better.

Wondering if anyone is finding any?

Thanks
Tony

I haven’t been seeing much for red caps but I have not put in a bunch of effort. Really I mostly just pick mushrooms well scouting

But did find some chicken of the woods

Has anyone tried making their own mushroom spawn and taking a cordless drill out and infusing trees to make their own mushroom patch?
