Some of my family does in the Salem, Paoli area. I never have before, but have always been intrested because i love the taste of them fried....

I know just a little about it and I am sure others here might know anything. Would you like to fill me and others in how to properly hunt one and where to find them?

john,
hey, how you doing???
well, instructions on how to find mushrooms?? welll, they grow out of the dirt, in the woods....lol.
i cant really give instructions, its usually in the woods training that is needed.
yeah, my uncle in salem is findin them .
you have to be sure your finding the edible ones, but thats pretty easy since they are very distintive in their apperance.
its good to get out and just walk anyway, even if you dont find any. you see all kinds of cool stuff in the woods if you just open your eyes. caught a couple of turtles "doin it" thismorning..........lol
take it easy

Salem seems like its the hot-spot every year. I know my mom had a few pounds of them after a day of hunting around. I just have never gone myself. I need to. Its been wet around here lately, and I know thats a good sign.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of turtles. I had several as a kid. I can't wait to buy a house so I can setup a nice snapper tank again.

I used to do it with my dad on the old family mining claim. We had a field guide of some kind. "Mushrooms of Colorado" or something. I seem to remember that there were hundreds of varieties. The book was very good about it. For instance, it would say, "This is edible, but you shouldn't eat it because it looks a LOT like this other one which will kill you in no time flat."

So, yeah. My recommendation is to find a guide book from the area.
