Kaiser et al... thank you.

It may be a little too far for you to travel K, but my husband may be in your neck of the woods soon!

Shroom -- would you still be free end of April, or does it have to be mid?

Cheers, Stevie

Well, I'm in the City - not far away at all. I can come with the missus anytime. She doesn't cook but she likes when others do.

Is this shaping up to be a mini CT gathering? Let's hope so.

Jock, I am liking where this is going.

Funny April 1st wedding then April 30th Women's Gala at Wash U....nothing in between. Yet.


End of April right now is ok. I've got a big event April 30th, Market opens on May 20th and of course there are all kinds of things that have to be done prior to 5am 5/20.

ogreplate,
If you take a little fossil guide with you it might make it a little less boring. You'll find many in any river bed or wash. Been taking the kiddos for years. We have a couple registered at SMU.
Also, watch the ranchers. It is always best to go to the big house to get permission. There are many mushroom gathers that look for specific kinds, and the good ole boys don't take to them well. They might just relieve you of your duties before asking what kind of mushrooms your looking for

[shroomgirl]

ogre and I corresponded via e-mail.....basically I said identifying shrooms is best done on site with a mycologist or someone proficient.....it's not something to monkey around with...you know what they say, "there are old mushroom hunters, bold mushroom hunters but NO old bold hunters." North America Mycological Association has chapters all over, they are the best resource for shrooms in your area. Good people.

Yep, you are talking to the right one she knows her shrooms. Good info...

[Botanique]

Shroom -- I agree with you. Solid advice.
