Michael-rhizal fun-guy Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hey everybody im new to community and was hoping to meet some pros. Ive been a life long morel hunter (with less than great luck) and in the past couple of years ive started expanding my knowledge about other types of fungi but i still know next to nothing. Im in the pokagon state park area and just wondered if there was anybody in the area that would like to teach a novice. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Welcome Mr. Guy..We're all novices. The smartest of us all doesn't even know 1% of everything there is to know about one mushroom, but we're learning...lol Really cool user name btw. I live in Northwest Indiana. I've never found the mother load of morels, but I have found the Mother Load of many other delectable Micro Rhizome Fungi fruiting bodies.

Michael-rhizal fun-guy Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Thanks for the reply. Yea there is a lot to learn that's for sure and i want to learn all i can. I started looking into other types of mushrooms so i didn't get skunked all the time when looking for morels and find it more and more fascinating. Im actually about to go pick some pheasant backs here in a little bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I grew up in Butler, IN, if you know where that is. When it comes to edibles, pheasant backs and morels are about all you'll find this time of year. Mushroom season really starts in July. While you're waiting, try out some books. For a true neophyte, you can't go wrong with "Edible Wild Mushrooms of Illinois and Surrounding States" (https://www.amazon.com/Edible-Mushrooms-Illinois-Surrounding-Kitchen-ebook/dp/B00AJA0ZFG).

Annette Preston Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thank you for the info on the book. I am also new to this site and we hunted morels as a kid with my father. Now I can't find one for the life of me and I am so very interested in other types of edible mushrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
