Not bad for 2 hour walk after a 10 min car ride (25 total minutes from Manhattan)

Ditched the potential honey fungus after this find...more research required

What’s the best way to store them for a few days? I am looking to share with some coworkers on Monday- in fridge? Brown bag? Cool dark place? Just leave in a shady spot outside?

For the hens blow out any hitchhikers. Don't rinse with water unless absolutely necessary. If you do rinsemake sure you let them dry off before placing in brown bag. Toss em' in the fridge. Should be fine for approximately 5-7 days.
Same with the chickens except they may not keep for as long

Just sautéed a few piece in butter and now I am absolutely regretting telling my coworker she can have some. Delicious!
Two up coming meal ideas:
-venison Marsala
-venison ravioli with brown butter sage and mushroom

I agree those sound excellent! I just cooked more of the one I've had in the fridge since last Friday. Froze the rest.
My chores are done for now and I'm heading for the woods!

As far as I'm concerned, Cortlands are the #1 eating apple

My girlfriend thought this was a human skull at first, I said I think it's a mushroom?

While it would have been cool if she were right, you are correct sir!

Careful- that debate may be more hotly contested than Bigfoot’s existence or AR or the importance of horn hunting

My great-great grandfather helped develop the McIntosh, but it will never hold a flame to a Cortland as an eating apple

Some of the orchards are still on the family farm ironically just 20-30 miles south of Cortland. Still produces apples the size of my fist

Is the first pic the honey fungus? If so I am heading back tomorrow to pick bunches

Resinous polypore.
I ate some last year(off this same log) and wasn't blown away. It was interesting though.

Had a good couple hours in the woods.
Came home with Hens, Honeys, 2 different kinds of hedgehog, a few gem-studded puffballs and a few beautiful Chanterelles.

Holy $hit...I thought I had a nice day shrooming. I am not worthy!!!
It’s kind of like posting a shed find right before Wooly posts his 6 sheds, a dead head, and a family of geese he carved from a hip bone in one day!
Great day, Sansei! Very humbling!

Now I’m freaked out...

These dudes are in the parking lot where I am mushroom hunting today AFTER I called predate a Sensei in my last post.

Am I good to assume these are the honey fungus and edible- seem right-stringy roots, woody stem, honey color?

Look at the size of this F’in thing

 

 

Pretty sure that’s a Squatch’s marshmallow
