Yesterday was the best day yet. About 9000 feet elevation. Never seen a day where we couldn't walk without finding Bolete and Amanitas and Hawk Wings left and right.
We get the best in a month or so here in CT. When I was a kid there was a freezer at my grandparents house that only housed wild mushrooms. Big fan and I still try and keep the foraging going.

Nice shots!
I believe there's a safe way to consume limited amounts of amanitas for their desired effect, but I can't actually tell you anything useful on this front so would defer to ned's warning.
What I've found weird is how last summer I literally did not see a single mushroom. I didn't realize they can lay dormant for the long term.

Yes, it's been a bumper crop up at altitude in CO this year. Wettest summer in many years.

Ate Hawk Wings and Porcinis with yellow summer squash for dinner last night. I admire the Amanitas and Coral but let them be.
