BilletHead Posted July 8, 2017 Author Posted July 8, 2017 Finally got the Mrs. BilletHead in the woods this morning for a mushroom foray, Going to start with a picture from yesterday. Took a little road trip yesterday to a local Conservation area. Found some stuff there last year but not so much this year. Did find some dead man's fingers. First time seeing these. Really it is kind of creepy seeing these fingers seeming to reach out of the ground out of the leaf mulch, Now to this morning. I have been picking a few select chanterelles when I go by a patch. Mostly waiting for Pat to go with me for them. Today they were fair game and the center of attention, Darned orb weavers waiting for you to get them in your face. Glad the morning sun peeking into the woods showed us this one, Pretty neat cluster here. When I cut off the base there were eight stems, A couple piles from todays haul. Had more Hygrophorus milky and Chestnut boletes too. A couple big boletes to Id also, There will be a post of what we made with some of these in the cooking forum later, BilletHead still loves the fungus among us and shopping in the woods, BilletHead ness, grizwilson, Daryk Campbell Sr and 3 others 6 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

You never know what the next rain will bring up. Also there are very few people out looking this time of year. trythisonemv and BilletHead 2

That and the folks you do see look at you like you as nutty as a pet coon for picking "other types of mushrooms". Well maybe we are a bit touched , BilletHead grizwilson, tho1mas, Johnsfolly and 1 other 4 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

For sure on the bags but serious mushroomers use a basket so he spreads spoors through the basket weave when traipsing around. Guess we are getting serious enough we should get a couple of baskets. Now the funny looks will get more serious , BilletHead trythisonemv, Johnsfolly and tho1mas 3 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

grizwilson Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 If i ever get to go again, I use a small mesh bag that clementines came in, a mesh wader bag is good too....not as noticeable.

Last year we used basket nearly every time out. This year, it seems that the baskets have a bunch of stuff in them and not available to use. So it's been plastic bags for us as well this year. trythisonemv and BilletHead 2

MO Stream Team Bags work well also...on the river just make sure you have enough for all task.
