I just read that there’s some type of mushroom where one ounce will kill you. So be careful. Sincerely, Captain Safety

Charlie, that's a monster. How's it been so far this year for picking them in your area. Got 20 lbs yesterday in an hour, best day ever for me. Only found them in stands of old Elm trees.

That's a pheasant back mushroom, totally edible. Not as delicious as that mother load of morel's you found, but still pretty good cooked up with some butter and garlic.
