I hunt every year

 

I've got one spot i have gotten 3000 or so a year - it's amazing

[Dammit Charlie]

I use to hunt mushrooms when I was younger with my grandpa and uncle. It was addicting, and they tasted awesome.

Morel Mushrooms in Chuck Wagon onion ring batter, deepfried....Oh my.

 

I need to find a good place to hunt. I love those damn things but have nowhere to go.

im not a hunter by any means, but a couple years ago i found some huge funky ass mushrooms at blendon woods. i think we took a couple pics, but it would take me a while to find them

Nice sig Lumbarjizzle :bs:

it's sickening...the spot i have

 

I used to have years where I might find 100 or 200 - several combined days of looking

 

I'll admit the last year or two haven't been the greatest...got closer to 'only' 1500

Smaller ones - mostly spikes and snakeheads, but still lots of fun

 

Tar Hallow and Scioto forest are reasonably good for mushroom hunting. And the gas stations down there usually sell them by the pound, if you don't do well hunting that day

Big mushrooms down there....one from Tar Hallow might be worth 4 or 5 somewhere else

[coupe_no]

im assuming you meant 1000-2000? maybe acid rain is killing the shrooms

 

my dad has 7 acres of woods and pines, no morels but some oysters in the woods and bolets in the pines

Where can I buy them? I don't have the time, or anyplace to do it.

I use to hunt them on my grandparent's property in Utica. They had about 400 acres and about 150 of that was wooded. Lots of good areas. Most of the property has since been sold off after my grandfather past a way.

[ImUrOBGYN]

I like to do alot woods walking and tried to find these shrooms a little bit last year without any luck. I'll be trying again this year.

My dad used to have about 75acres of woods and fields, actually right around your area, I believe. It was on SR 138, about 10 minutes from Greenfield. Fucking hick neighbors did the same damn thing to us. Use to piss me off to no end.

 

Oh, and thanks.
