Sounds like the whole show is on mushrooms. She will probably be answering fungus questions!
howdy- i am working in MT for the summer @ Whitefish and hope to find lots of stuff-been going to burns the past 2 weeks, found a few lbs. today but not a lot- foraged in some perfect looking burns to the NW of here, looked unpicked, but not finding a lot. Almost as many natural blacks as in the burns….lots of fiddleheads, oysters, and giant puffballs too.
Hello and thank you for the response.
I was wondering if the weather was right for the burns. It has been a very cool spring here in Bozeman. The mushrooms are growing because there has been plenty of moisture, but it has not been warm enough for them to explode! I have been eating oysters also, and look forward to finding some puffballs. Puffballs are a great way to satisfy a mushroom craving. Keep on looking and feel free to report your findings.
