Dammit Charlie Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I use to hunt mushrooms when I was younger with my grandpa and uncle. It was addicting, and they tasted awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old dirty bastard Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 mmmm deep fried for days Nice sig Lumbarjizzle :bs: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron_ Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe_no Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
