Those look great! We found a few morels this spring but not a single chant all summer long! I've tried to find some hen of the woods but never seem to time it right. I either go out and find nothing, or go out and find a few remains that are way past eating stage.
People were finding chants all summer in Ohio. I found none in Ontario this year, but last year was the best I have ever seen for chants there.
You can cultivate hen of the woods from what i understand. I started a personal use mushroom farm this summer. I started small with shiitake and grey oyster mushrooms.
I’m really stunned by the size of the chants that I’m picking-went out yesterday after 3” of rain in two days. With all that rain and temps near 90, it was a mushroom wonderland.

I dry sauté and pickle a couple of gallons each summer, and really enjoy the oohs and ash’s at the holidays when the go on a relish tray. Throughout the season I fry them up with every steak, put them in every omelet, and I just love a very light dusting of Drake’s batter mix, and dropped into butter!
I’m going to go cook some right now!
I'm in Norway now. Sorry for the confusion. But last year I found porcini in the Great Lakes area this time of year. Just be careful with bitter bolete. They look legit, but they taste horrible.
Thanks for the link, Boletes are fascinating. Honestly, the last time I was there we were so busily harvesting bear’s head tooth and Chaga we didn’t really have time to mess around with much else. Good problems to have!
