This Shaggy Mane, also known as Lawyer’s Wig, greeted us as we burst through the woods out in to the opening of the golf course at Durand Eastman. This one is edible but it’s a little old. We’re pretty good at spotting mushrooms but we don’t have the confidence to snag them for food. The orange “chicken mushrooms” are supposed to be good and they’re pretty common in our woods. (Can’t believe I call it “our woods.” We do seem to be the only ones who use it. Our friend Shelley picked some oyster mushrooms while we were up in the mountains and we planned on having them for breakfast before we left but but it rained and that puts the outdoor kitchen stove off limits.
