Stevo, I will try to relay a message I wrote when I first started this quest. It is addressed to a fellow newbie as follows:

parked

I will give you advice (for what it is worth)regardless if I find the milkies or not. It was rough my first few years, they are really sneaky in this area. Enjoy the hunt! |
| Stevo| | Catskills, NY | | August 19, 2009
No problem Geo, hope you find some. If you do, maybe you can repay me with some morel advice. I tried hunting the Catskills exclusively for morels this year and came up with a big goose egg. I don't want to be a sellout and go back to Ohio where I grew up, but this spring was frustrating. I have access to some nice orchards, but unfortunately they all get sprayed with pesticide. |
| Geogymn| | Valley of the Mohawk, NY | | August 18, 2009
Stevo, thanks for the info, I will keep an eye out. Much obliged, Geo |
| Stevo| | Catskills, NY | | August 17, 2009
Not sure, but try Lactarius corrugis. Very simliar to the tawny milkcap but the cap seems to always have concentric wrinkles, even when young. They have firm flesh and are just as tasty, if not better than the golden chants in my opinion. I have found caps as big as 4 inches in diameter when mature. They ooze copious amounts of white milk from damaged areas when fresh. I find them under birch and beech, often in the same areas as the large sweettooth mushrooms (Hydnum repandum). The two species are similar in color and look a little alike from a distance. I'll try and post some recent photos. |
| Geogymn| | Valley of the Mohawk, NY | | August 16, 2009
Stevo, Not sure of the "wrinkled milkcap", you wouldn't have the scientific name per chance? I am interested, never consumed any from the genus of Lactarius, and your report has whet my appetite. |
| Stevo| | Catskills, NY | | August 14, 2009
Been swimming in yellowfoot chants the last couple of weeks. Down here the golden chants are just starting to come on strong. It looks like the next couple of weeks will be good. I haven't seen much in the way of King Boletes yet, but I have found quite a few sweettooth and wrinkled milkcaps under the hardwoods. Don't know if you've ever found/picked any wrinkled milkcaps, but they're delicious!!! |
| Geogymn| | Valley of the Mohawk, NY | | August 13, 2009
Yeah I'm here. Was a great year for Chants, best I've seen. Kinda weird that it seem to be perfect conditions for fungi all summer but found few other than the aforementioned Chants. Others are starting to come on now including Sulfur Shelf, Sweet Tooth, Laccaria, and Boletes. Enjoy the hunt. |
| Stevo| | Catskills, NY | | August 11, 2009
Hey geo, you on here? I'll talk chanterelles with you. |

I found a bunch of mushrooms yesterday in Westchester County on a hike. I think I've identified all of them, but could use some help with some yellow ones and some russula and bolete mushrooms. Please see the video I made of the mushroom pics on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVIKB8X4l2U
Thanks. |

| Geogymn| | Valley of the Mohawk, NY | | June 25, 2009
Any NY Chanterelle hunters out there? |
| Kiga| | Windsor County , VT | | June 02, 2009
Vermont Find - No Vermont board,Sorry NY was the closest board.
June 1, yesterday my husband found 22 big...no huge yellows. From the mid west and I have never seen such big mushrooms. Will be posting pics.
Some were what I call a grey (lt. grey color) not like the ones we find in Indiana, bigger and lighter in color. And the yellows were huge and denser in feel. Had some for dinner...Oh my !!! Life is good in Vermont.
Found under stressed Elms and some around a old apple tree stump in my back yard :-) I am not familiar with blondies..are they kinda of a grey/yellow mix ? They were very fresh. |
| Geogymn| | Valley of the Mohawk, NY | | May 31, 2009
ROYAL FLUSH!!!! Went out yesterday to see if I could bear witness to the legendary second flush and got paid back in spades. 426 yellows, almost doubling my single day record. Several bigfoots but mostly small water soaked specimens... still counts. Mostly under Ash, North exposure, higher and dryer ground. Been raining here a lot. Fine breakfast this AM. Enjoy the hunt, Geo. |

Will,
I left my email on this message. I picked the mushrooms last weekend and put them in the refrigerator in an open plastic bag with a wet paper towel. I'm sure they're not the best right now because they've lost some of their aroma, but atleast they're still there and they haven't deteriorated. If you email me then I can send you pics.
Thanks for the help,
Brad |

I finally scored some morels in Poland today. Found 7 under a pine tree growing on moss. Found 1 in the woods again under a pine and growing on moss near a small creek (about a foot away from the water). Can't wait to cook them. |

Found about 40 yellows near Elmwood Park in Syracuse. There are many elmwoods around and the spot I was looking is a relatively high elevation; I was almost level with the many reservoirs in the area. They were in the woods and it is on the side of a hill. Found about the same number last year in the same spot on the same date (May 22). A couple more days and they would have been past their prime I got them just in time. Will probably look in some more spots tomorrow - don't give up they are out there. |
