Mushroom hunting (Wild Mushrooms)

[Timber Cruiser]

So this is something I really want to learn about. I’m guessing there is a certain time of year to go? Or is it more like fruits and vegetables where they have different seasons? Probably should get a book so I can learn.

Different seasons for different shrooms though for sure. Like bensskateshop said, morels are finished for the most part.

Time of year and location. Need a combo of heat and rain to make ‘em pop. Metro ATL, chants are end of May to end of June. In the mountains, end of June to end of July. We typically only forage chanterelles, chicken of the woods, lions mane, cinnabars, old man of the woods and cauliflowers. Happy to show you you around when they start poppin if you wanna make a trip to the mountains. I myself would like to learn more about IDing oysters. Morels always seem to elude me for some reason.

I’ll definitely take you up on that. I’d love to do that.

Cool cool. I’ll shoot you a PM when they start. I have a spot in Sandy Springs that usually produces too. I’ll keep checking it.

Just took a class and got all certified to harvest and sell wild mushrooms. I took it mainly to learn a lot. Which I did. Not gonna harvest and sell but I'm certainly gonna harvest and eat

Yes. Interested. Chants sometimes bring close to $50 a pound.

Good class. They will send you material ahead of time. I'd recommend studying a little before hand. Test was not easy. First time I actually had to study for a test in years.

Of the crack in Butts county!
