I went foraging with a buddy yesterday.

We didn't find any morels, but we were able to harvest some saddle mushrooms and ramps (wild leeks).

Hey all you mushroom guys :  I've been looking for morels for years. Obviously, I'm looking in all the wrong places. In upstate NY what type of area should I be looking in.  We're getting a bunch of rain now must be the time !

I went foraging again today.

No luck finding morels, but I did get some saddle mushrooms, plus some ramps and fiddleheads, so it wasn't a tota loss.

I went foraging with my buddy again today.

We harvested a whole bunch of ramps, a couple small saddle mushrooms and (finally) a morel - - which was my first.

I finally hit the jack pot tonight - - and found a dozen or so morels surprisingly close to home.

right on bog.  that first score is extra sweet!  my first one was right at dusk and i had to go home and get a head lamp so i could come back and keep searching.  been hooked ever since.  keep checking that spot, might be even better next year.

Not technically morels per se, but I did go foraging today.

First, I did some on my own and gathered a variety of greens (dandelion/mustard/dock/wild sorel/milk weed buds) that I plan to add to my sandwiches and/or salads over the course of the next week.

Then, I went with a buddy and we scored a few chanterelles, some bruised boletes and a lot of king boletes) plus a couple small zip-loc bags of sour cherries.

Sounds nice bog, hope the mosquitoes didn't make you pay  just not sure what "wild sorel" is, or any sorel for that matter

OK just looked up sorels   sound interesting and shouldn't be too hard to locate  also found an interesting soup recipe

Was in the woods yesterday and was amazed at the number of mushrooms about.  This wet weather has brought new life every where. I only know a few mushrooms for certain and refrain from taking chances so I left every thing where it was. There were some good looking specimens that smelled good too. Wish I knew more about them. I have a couple good digests but still am leary of trying something that I'm not sure of.
