Time for a new thread, I think, so we don't have to comb through all of what's for dinner to find the mushrooms. I'll go first.
I forage for mushrooms. I'm what the local mushroom society folks call a pot hunter. Locally I find chanterelles, also chicken of the woods which is Laetiporus sulphureus, and hen of the woods which is Grifola frondosa. The places where I find the different kinds of mushrooms are the same from year to year, but each year's yield is always a variable. Remember that the "mushrooms" I collect are the fruiting bodies of the thread-like underground mycellium.
Here are two images from September of 2018. Chicken of the woods in situ, and
my lunch: an omelet, buckwheat noodles, sugar snap peas and - tah da! - sauteed chicken of the woods. Tasted as good as it looks.
