     Started checking my roadside places for one to show up. they are and that got me off the road looking a bit harder.  Great crop and some of the best quality I have ever found. Thick stalks on some and the beetles and worms had not infested them. Gave the mushroom knife a good work out,

  An old man of the woods. Supposed to be edible but not choice. I'll pass.

Lol, I’ll buy all mushrooms from the store…too afraid of getting poisoned.

         Research and double checking. There are no old bold mushroom hunters.

We have had a few old man of the woods in our yard the last couple of years. Still not too interested in trying them.

                   My cousin has tried and eats them but he looks like an old man of the woods. Really does. Long before he ate them but think they put him over the top.

They look like ones that you should not eat.  Stems with a cap.  Too hard to tell.

They eat false morels around here also.  Not always deadly, but could be if you don't cook the poison off of them.

Not at all JD. They have an fruity apricot smell. Once you see one you know them. Easy

That's cool you guys have that kind of experience and knowledge. Must be years doing it. I'm like Mitch on this one. Don't know enough to try.

                                          Good, you all stay out of the woods and my patches. They are all toxic! 🤪
