Pheasant Backs and Elm oysters are everywhere.

Both are excellent to eat, and easy to recognize, with just a few simple rules.

Polyporus squamosus--Dryad's Saddle/Pheasant Back

They smell like watermelon or cucumber. :) Common in the ravines. They grow on stumps or sick trees. The very first wild mushroom I ever looked up to see if it was edible! Photos are mine, unedited (I think; can't remember if I took a powerline out of the one with the sky showing).

And as it happens, it is! You really want to get it when young, though (the ones in the first two photos are way way too old), because they get tough and chewy. If your knife slides through it easily, it's good.

They have a flavour that lends them well not only to savoury but to sweet! Great with pizza. If you find one with a funnel shape, you can stuff it. You can make jam (which ends up having a nice smoky flavour) with them, or add them to smoothies. Maybe even mix them into cookie dough or add them to pie filling!

Unlike most wild mushrooms, these are *said* to be safe to eat raw. I would not recommend that and would say to cook them to be safe. Watch out for lookalikes too. These are polypores, which means instead of gills on the underside they have tiny holes. If it's got gills on the underside, that is not a dryad's saddle.

Word of ethics: leave a third of the young mushrooms you find, and only if there's a lot of them.

Everything is always “my fault,” but here’s a neat mushroom to look at in the meantime.

Pheasant back!

Mmm

They do taste like melon when raw. Kind of like a honeydew to me.

Incoming fungi! Here are some of the pictures from my last mushroom observing trip (my son was a good sport and went with me, although he wasn't as fascinated by my finds as I was lol). I honestly was pretty happy with my finds and felt good that I could recognize most of what I found. In these pics we have some Amanita Muscaria Var Guessoweii, an older Pheasant Back, some honey mushrooms and jelly fungus. I believe there is also some turkey tail/trametes versicolor (or some variation of trametes?). The only one I wasn't sure of was the little white/silver mushroom with the lavender-pink underside.

Some edible mushrooms I've found (and foraged) recently! Chicken of the woods, pheasants back, lobster, and golden chanterelles. Unfortunately no morels for me this year, and I'm still looking for oysters

Disclaimer: please do not eat random mushrooms if you are not 100% certain about the identification

I’m in the midst of ~Berry Season~ and have been struck with the realisation that my experiences are probably not universal

bonus points for saying where you’re from and what you like to forage in the tags

#poll #I’m from western canada in the mountains #and I pick a bunch of different berries (mostly various vaccinums)#false Solomon’s seal #and morels and pine mushrooms #when I’m out east during the right time of year I’ll also go for fiddleheads pheasant’s backs and occasionally puffballs #if you’ve got questions Please ask them this is an Interest of mine #also Please don't eat things without being sure of what they are #i say things
