@Oaktavia It’s not uncommon to see flocks of 20-30 birds on our farm in the fall. I’ll post some pics if I can get any this year.

Oh wow that's pretty awesome man. Looking forward to seeing photos.

Are any of you amateurs foragers UK based? It's something I'd love to get involved in, but wouldn't know where to start!

I only found one big mama morel this year. I went out on a day I thought would be incredibly “fruitful” and found this within a minute. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything else the entire season?!?

[SKT]

@Smiladon that’s a nice one. Be fun to walk into a patch that size.

@SKT
You got that right!
This was found in a place that was once like that. I still go there every year but it has never replicated the same experience as it did 20+ years ago. Found literally pounds that year, late 90s while still in high school.
It made a lifer out of me!
Just wish it would happen again.

Are these the kind of mushrooms I’m hoping they are @Oaktavia according my phone they are enoki.

Wild Persimmons found them today.

[Oaktavia]

@Fadez those I am not sure about my friend.

[Oaktavia]

@twin that's cool

[twin]

@Fadez I would NOT eat them.

[twin]

@Oaktavia We made jam one time with them.

[Oaktavia]

@twin I would be curious how that jam tastes...

[Fadez]

Yeah @twin I am not going to eat them. Thanks for checking @Oaktavia

[Oaktavia]

@Fadez keep looking!

[Oaktavia]

@Fadez I found more oysters growing on the stumps! They usually pop up after a big rain. They are on the menu in this house tonight.

[Fadez]

Dude! That’s a big haul @Oaktavia !!! Dinner will be delicious

[Oaktavia]

More oysters from the logs out back

[Oaktavia]

[Fadez]

Oyster mushroom heaven you got there!

[Oaktavia]

Largest oysters I have found so far. On a pile of rotting logs in the front yard. So much fun to find them. These will be battered and fried tomorrow night. @Fadez
