Going to be spending a couple days at Lake Fausse State Park this weekend, and while there, might end up hiking with folks a bit. Made me think... I used to mushroom hunt from time to time during the wetter seasons in Missouri, when I still lived there. What is mushroom hunting like around these parts?
I'm about to see what Google turns up for me, as well as checking out the State Agri sites for some mushroom guides. I'm sure Wildlife & Fisheries has a State specific mushroom guide... Missouri Conservation dept. always did, anyways.
Thought I'd get some 'local' opinions/experience though, and couldn't find any other threads, here, about it, really.
Are there better seasons for it?
What are the more popular -edible- mushrooms to find?
Think Lake Fausse is even a decent spot for finding anything?
