smerchly Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 It looks like a good year for mushrooms . I usually get some in October but it may be earlier this year with the rains lately to get them started . My back yard looked like a mushroom farm a few days ago ....hundreds of these little 1 -1 1/2" ' toad stools' . They have thin stems and smell like shrooms , but I'm not sure if they're edible . They don't last long , all gone today . They may be springing up from the apple tree roots I cut down a few years ago , getting more each year . here is a small portion of them in the grass .....

Mike B Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 In the Niagara region as well and would love to learn more about wild mushrooms. Learning a lot about mushrooms in general, starting to grow them at home. I Have not had much success locating them in the wild though, would love to team up or help start a group with this similar interest.

Reach out via email or Facebook. Derrick Hill Are you elderly Derrick ? lol I am an old mushroom picker and have had good and bad years finding shrooms in the wild . Last year was a bust and I think this year may also be the same ...hot dry summer & fall ! I only pick the field mushrooms that can be up to 6" across the top with pink gills . We freeze some and use some for stir fries in the wok or smother a steak with onions and shrooms ....soooo good ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big white puff balls are good eating and some fungi also . Welcome to the club and I hope to see some pictures ..... This is a typical large field mushroom I picked recently ....pink gills .

I once said to a vegan guy , I am also a vegan ,,,,,,,, A cow eats grass, which is converted to meat which is converted by humans to doo doo which becomes fertilizer to grow more grass ! .....So we are all vegans ..... He wasn't thrilled ..... But I do respect vegans for their choice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
