It has been a fun and amazing wild mushroom gathering year in this part of PA. Learning lots of new mushrooms but it’s a challenge as there are so many that look so similar!! The conditions were ideal for an abundance of all sorts of mushrooms and a kind friend is guiding us to differentiate the bad from the good. Many are being dried for winter soups. They’re so ephemeral, popping up where there was nothing and in a few days all that is left is sort of a disgusting pile of slime. Would love to identify all those that grow on the farm. If you have a favorite definitive mushroom identification guide, let us know!
