My first year foraging for morels. We had some pretty bad wildfires last summer. These were all harvested from a burn within eyesight of the car parked on an FSR just off a main highway.

Oooo which burn? The partner and I have struck out with morels the past 3 years or so, but this year we went out and tried the Schneider Fire burn and had amazing luck. We're probably ruined for morels because we'll never have that luck again, I suspect.

I don't know the name of the burn but it's near Merritt BC. There are tons of locals harvesting there so I don't think it's a secret.

This general area was shown to me by a local mushroom guy but not this specific spot. I think we got lucky, but at the same time I do think they are EVERYWHERE.

The real place to be lucky is having a burn in an area that is accessible by car, close to the highway, and close to where you live. Also be lucky that your house doesn't burn down the previous summer.

Here's a giant Lions mane that I grew from a kit.

Not the best condition when I found them but I picked two edible looking ones.

Is it just me or does anyone else find it hard to use boletes in cooking? I just find they taste like mush without a strong mushroom flavour. Maybe I need to use more salt or cook them longer?

1. Could this be anything other than COW? My friend ate some already and she said she is fine.

2. Is there anything that can be mistaken for COW and is also seriously poisonous? If it's similar and just not tasty that's not too concerning.
