I'm not a gatherer and like them okay if they come out of a can and are mixed in with other foods. I've got a very big yard that borders on some woods and I'm constantly seeing all kinds of varieties for a few seconds before I mow over them. There are people whose hobby is finding and gathering mushrooms. One of them is a frame building class student that lives nearby. On a huge fallen oak tree behind my frame shop are these huge clumps of orange fungi. They grew up suddenly seemingly like overnight. I sent him a picture. He came right down with big plastic container. He identified them as "chicken in the woods". No doubt that is not is official Latin name. My student took some pictures and posted them to his internet mushroom group. He said the reaction was huge. I guess it is about the biggest grouping most had ever seen at one time. He said he was careful not to give away my location. I'm just kind of amused by it all.Attachment 116701Attachment 116702
