Went mushroom picking today

I picked about 6 lbs of chanterelle mushrooms in the rain today. Between 4 of us we picked about 22 lbs. Retail price for chanterelles locally is between 13-14$/lb.
We've got about 3 more weeks left in the season. Going back out tomorrow.

You're a braver man than I am. I'm not sure if I'd have to balls to go wild mushroom picking.

Why not? Nothing to it. It also helps to be carrying a Ruger .300 magnum
That wasn't for protection, it was in case we saw something with horns. That area is a great area for deer and elk. Elk sign was EVERYWHERE.Posted on 10/28/12 at 10:38 pm to Lucky Pierre

Ah....chanterelles are very easy to identify, so I didn't even think of that. I can see that for someone else though, but they really are easy to spot compared to anything else we have out right now.

Exactly. Not my skillset.

Looking for the rings around the top, right?

I had an uncle, now deceased, who would pick wild oyster mushrooms off the willow trees in So Louisiana. I can remember him coming home with a 5 gallon bucket full of mushrooms. They were awesome.
While hunting, I've looked at mushrooms growing on willows several times since, but I don't have the balls to pick & eat them. I buy my fresh shrooms at Whole Foods.

I do it all the time. As long as it is off a willow tree it is harmless/delicious.

when we lived in Missouri we used to go pick Morels all the time... really easy to identify and delicious

I pick those in the spring time. Those along with chanterelles are both very easy to spot.
