This is one of the better mushroom years I have seen. Still lots of Chanterelle's coming up, thought they were about done but a new crop just came up around my house, I have seen them in places that I don't normally see them as well.

Over the years I have pretty much limited myself to about 5 species, chanterelles, a couple varieties of shaggy's, chicken of the woods, cauliflower and winter chanterelles. I have had a mushroom bible for years but never had the guts to try new ones. I have identified hedgehogs and lobsters but never ate any. Have not seen hedgehogs in a long time.

I decided this year I was gonna eat some new ones, ate the Honey Mushrooms last week and they were excellent, I have a couple gallons dried.

Today I ate some Shaggy Parasol I got out of a friends greenhouse compost, they were pretty good, meaty and robust flavor, I will definitely eat them again.

On the same log as the Honey Mushrooms I now have "Turkey Tail" fungus coming out the end. Anybody have experience with them.
