We have chanterelles that grow wild around here, they are really tasty.
There is another kind that looks very similar that can make you sick but
not kill you. They just kinda grow out in yards and places, I think a
friend had a whole huge crop in her front yard but I wasn't sure so
didn't pick. Next year I will get this guy to come look at them and
pick some if they are good. Someone gave me some a coupla years ago
that were really good sauteed with some salt and butter. I now a guy
who grows oyster mushrooms too, they are pretty easy, you can buy the
spores to put on rotting logs or firewood chunks and they just grow. I
need to do that at some point.
I had morels when I was younger in Indiana, my dad worked with guys who
went foraging for them every year

My father in law was a hard core morel mushroom hunter, and had his “special
places” where they grew that he guarded carefully. Allen lives in such areas
and probably has people around him hunting them as well. Father in law did a
lot of his hunting in the Ninevah and Camp Atterbury (IN) areas, where he grew
up.
He would go out on a Saturday and come back a few hours later with a big basket
of them. Quite yummy.

Not the magic kind (Although I know a guy who grows those)
This guy I know posted a FB pic of a lions mane mushroom he says
are really good to eat and quite healthful as well. It looked
kinda familiar and I realized I had seen what looked like one
growing in a rotted tree out behind the mansion in the dog yard.
ShoNuff that is what it is. He says you can slice them and cook
them like a steak and they taste like crabmeat. He’s gonna come by
the vast estate tomorrow and take a look at it. I guess this is
the time of year for them. We might try to “seed” a bit onto some
other old rotting trees too as there are quite a few trees like
that around in the woods.
This one might be a bit past it’s prime but might still be edible
and ok I’ll have to go poking around the woods and see if there
are any more around.
