I found this nice looking COTW while kayaking the other day growing on a downed tree in the middle of the river.

    Just had a batch of this sprout on a tulip poplar stump from a tree cut down 3 years ago. It did not look as good as this photo and was not harvested.

    The woods behind the house produce a lot of this, as well as the occasional morel- which locals call dryland fish. I suspect we also get the psychedelic kind, but their appearance is so close to deadly ones in this area; and I am not a gambler.

      Interesting, I’ve never heard of morels called dryland fish. I can see it from a taste perspective. We don’t have a psychedelic mimic of the morel but we have what we call a beefsteak which is the Gyromitra esculenta.
