I found a couple handfulls on Saturday afternoon on a S facing hillside. It was warm over night and I bet that got them popping. I won't have time to go back out to look until Wed after work. The forecast still isnt great. We could use some warmer weather but there are some to be found nonetheless.
Yep. I'm 50, been hunting mushrooms since I've been able to walk in the woods and I've never seen anything like it. 58# for the 4 of us in 2 days, and we left a lot that were falling apart. Some were still coming up. I'm half tempted to go back this weekend for more!
I've found a couple patches of them this year too. I agree why take the chance. It seems there is a lot of people that are eating them and saying they are fine, but I read articles that they have toxins that will just keep adding up in your body the more you eat.
Same here! I refuse to take that chance on something that might taste good for a few minutes. I'll gladly leave them in the field and go home to eat some cookies and milk. If in doubt, throw it out.
We found about 3# in southern Minnesota on Saturday afternoon. These are early shrooms and with the heat we are going to get this week things should really be poppin by the end of the week.
