Fall mushrooms on a Wild Sunday 10-26-08

I have never gathered fall mushrooms, even though I’ve heard tales of massive finds by friends.

It is mainly a fear factor on my part.

Then on Monday, North Sider John Vician sent a note about honey mushrooms that had me thinking again.

So I googled around on honey mushrooms. Apparently, the likely looking spot is under oak trees.

There’s a decent photo spread by forager “Wildman” Steve Brill here.

I found Tom Nauman, the Downstate morel expert, with an article on fall mushrooms, but with no mention of honey mushrooms. It is here.
