Hi and welcome. Take pride in knowing there are other fungus nuts out there. As hossierfunguy has said they are some very knowlegeable people on here. 

The pictures you posed do apear to be P. Pulmonaris. 

Very nice and i agree it was a nice day to be in the woods

Your welcome sorry i couldnt help more.

I dont think they have any dates set. You could check their facebook page and see if there is anything listed

They should be, been a yearly thing now for a couple years. Check back in a bit and check to see if they have updated the sight or check on their facebook page.

Not sure when they will update, hopfully soon. There is also a facebook site, if you can you might want to check that.

It is still in very good shape. Send me information on the best way to preserve and ship it plus an address and i will gladly send it to you. 

Have these coming out on some fire wood can anyone id them?

They do have forays, i have been on 3. They have been enjoyable and i have recived alot of good information on them

You are welcome, glad i could help.

Not positive but i think they are slippery jack( Suillus Luteus )

Found one today that is around 6 pounds. First good one for me, i will be headed out in the morning for an all day hunt.

I live in east central illinois and so far i have found one small one. I think the lack of rain and cooler temps has delayed them.

I would get a couple good field guides and try to find someone to help you learn. One guide i would get is, Edible Wild Mushrooms of Illinois and surrounding States. If possible find someone close to you and see if they will help you learn some of the good ones.

I am hoping they update the site soon. If you have Facebook, they have a page there that usually has more and up to date info.

There is no camping at shades but turkey run is just a few miles away.

I sent a message to the admins. And to a guy who used to help run the sight. Hopfully the info on the summer hunts will be updated. If you have facebook there is a page for hoosier mushrooms on there, dont know if there is more info on it or not. I dont have a facebook so i cant check.

If we get some rain there should be several different ones flushing as of right now there hasnt been much. As for the hens not sure when they start the first ones i found last year where in mid to late september.

I found a recipe on youtube that was pretty good. I t was posted by robin hartford if i remember right.

Might be able to would have to budget a trip north. I am about 2 hours south of there in illinois close to vigo county. I have done some hunting in Shades during the summer and found it to be a good place havent tried it in the fall yet.

Been a member for a year they were good at posting the dates and times for awile, not sure why they havent been lately. I originally joind to find people that wanted to go on forays but outside of the 2 i went on last summer i havent found anyone that has wanted to, hoping that changes or that i can meet up with some people that would like to meet up and go every so often.

When will the registration for the summer mushroom walk be open. Also where will be meeting and at what time

I have been finding alot of these boletes and have not been able to id them. 

A good book for beginers is Edible Wild Mushrooms of Illinois and suroundin States. I have found it to be very helpful.
