Just walked in the door....covered with mud, bugs and god knows what else:eek: .......Need some id on these shrooms:confused: ....and boy, was that a trip today.......whoo, with two youngins too.I think we have gone where no man has gone before........(that excludes gretchen):D lol.....
Ok....
I have quite a few more pics but will have to upload them later everyone is dirty, hungary and tired.......:rolleyes:

one , two and the last one are oyster..looking a little old though...next to last is some type of polyfore, and the other two are a shelf type..only the oysters are edible..and they look a little past their prime...but once they've been on those trees you can expect them there again, and you can also look to see if there are new ones coming on as well..if we ever get any rain.......

Thanks guys....We def had fun....it sure was hot for OCt though....
dave, yes i was a beaver...but we were all ready for dinner when we got home after all that hiking and trompin in the mud...I bet my boots weighed 20lbs at one point..lol....
We didn't take any of that fruit..maybe next time....

RLF, there should be water there, it's just down so low..that's why I said we walked where no man walked before.....lol.....

Bam - looks like you guys found a good spot..S**t now I really want to come down - like now...# 8 looks like a hedgehog - very very tasty..and your oysters are a tad old..but lordy..then there's those onion bagels - don't eat them...guys I just hate trying to say yay or nay from a pic...scares the bejsus out of me..I have to look at where it's at, what it feels like, how it smells....but lordy Bam I think ya'll have a honey hole there...any chance of us hitting it this week if I can figure out how for say Wednesday? I promise..I'll help watch the little ones..:)

Oh and as i told Life..there's some unwritten rule..the bigger of a pain it is to get to them the bigger the haul of shrooms...wait til you see me slinking under multiflora rose bushes this spring...

BAM
10-01-2007, 22:52
It's up to you, I got another doc appointment in the am though.....could miss it, rather be in the woods anyway right.....i told you I had a spot didn't I? did you notice what I put......where no mans gone before (excluding gretchen) lol..I knew if you were around you would have already of been there.....I was duckin and diving and sliding and runnin and chasiing and well you know.....We were all hungary too but I wasn't about to go in no where the way we all looked.....it was hot too...whoo!

10-01-2007, 22:57
Aw Bam..truthfully I don't think I've got the stamina this week..at least not the way I feel today..and the doc keeps growling at me...but darn it..shroom season is short and well I can lay on the couch and play invalid some other time..LOL
It's October..it's time to be in the woods for heaven's sake....

BAM

You really don't want to eat the persimmons yet BAM. Believe me. Mrs Life tried one that seemed ripe Saturday and got Gretchen and me to do the same. Be the time we got halfway through we realized Mrs life was a little off on her timing and our mouths and throats started puckering. Mrs Life is used to Korean persimmons and most of them don't have to wait till a freeze.

yeah..but I did really think at first she was right and I'd been waiting until frost all these years, and really didn't have to..the fullest ripest parts were indeed good and sweet, it was that still teeny green bit by the stem that slapped me! LOL

BAM
10-02-2007, 07:12
We didn't eat em......I just took a pic.....I know where it's at though.....:)
Gretchen, I can only imagine the stuff that I overlooked too going 100 miles per hour with the kids.....
I think maybe you do need to come down sometime......and yes, seemed like the oysters were on the willows........LOTS of old dried up ones but my sd card was full and I didn't have any more on me......I didn't think I was gonna take that many pics......:)
We also seen several little white-gray spots on the treez like you showed me at Ferne.....does that mean more is gonna pop up there? I should have mark a couple places too......and if you come bring your snake boots, your gonna need em..:eek:

BAM
10-02-2007, 11:26
