There are many different edible mushrooms in the United States, including tasty chanterelles and morels. Mushroom hunting can also be quite dangerous – many mushrooms are very similar in appearance. It’s easy to accidentally gather the wrong mushrooms, with devastating (or even deadly) consequences. When in doubt, throw the mushrooms 2 out.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the common (and tasty) edible mushrooms of the United States! #1: Morel Mushrooms (Morchella esculenta) Range: Found across much of the U.S., especially under hardwood trees in orchards, burn areas, and disturbed grounds.

Eth- nomycological information was gathered using semi-structured interviews with participants from different mycological associations in Serbia. A total of 62 participants were involved in this study. Eighty-five species belonging to 28 families were identified. All of the reported fungal species were pointed out as edible, and only 15 of them were declared as medicinal. The family Boletaceae was represented by the highest number of species, followed by Russulaceae, Agaricaceae and Polypo- raceae. We also performed detailed analysis of the literature in order to provide scientific evidence for the recorded medicinal use of fungi in Serbia. The male participants reported a higher level of ethnomycological knowledge compared to women, whereas the highest number of used fungi species was mentioned by participants within the age group of 61–80 years. In addition to preserving Citation: Živkovi´c,J.; Ivanov, M.; ethnomycological knowledge in Serbia, this study can present a good starting point for further Stojkovi´c,D.; Glamoˇclija,J.

  • Edible Wild Mushrooms
    EDIBLE WILD MUSHROOMS How to Tell the Difference Between Poisonous and Edible. The simple answer to this is that you can’t tell the difference without identifying the individual mushroom you have found. • Morels • Oysters, Elm and • Wood Ears Gray • Dead Man’s Fingers • Honey Mushroom • Coral-Tooth • Velvet Foot Mushroom • Turkey Tail • Bear’s Head Tooth • Artist’s Conk • Chicken of the Woods • Rooster of the Woods • Hen of the Woods • Dryad’s Saddle • Puff Balls Why are mushrooms important? • Most of soil is mushroom matter mixed with dirt, so it's essential. The fungi mycelium breaks up plant fiber to decompose it so that new plants can grow. The lack of mycelium in the soil is what causes desertification because dirt alone doesn't retain the water needed for plant life. • So nothing lives without support from mushrooms. It is the earth and in many respects the forebearer of mankind. Mushrooms Could Change the World • Using fungi to remove or neutralize environmental pollutants (like oil) is a technique called mycoremediation. • Mushroom mycelium is being used to create insulation, foam-like packaging, home building materials and others. • Mushrooms have a plethora of antiviral and antibacterial agents that have been shown to fight cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, influenza and smallpox. Katy Ayers & William “Ash” Gordon from Nebraska Mushroom grew this boat from mushroom mycelium in just 14 days! What is an wild mushroom? • Mushrooms are technically called “macrofungi” • What Macrofungi all have in common is that they form structures called fruiting bodies or sporocarps –these sporocarps are typically the above ground part of the mushroom that you see.

    VOL. 53:4 JULY-AUGUST 2013 www.namyco.org he Shepherd of the Ozarks conference center will serve as the location for the 2013 NAMA foray, a Tlocation allowing us easy access to the southern perimeter of the Ozark Mountain Range. Lodging will be provided in nine on site lodges. The majority of these lodges are equipped with full kitchen appliances. Dining, mushroom identification and displaying of the mushrooms will all be done in one large building, the Buffalo Center. Non-mushrooming folks can take advantage of some of the on site activities including river tubing, fishing, sand pit volleyball, 9-hole disc golf, and for a fee - horseback riding, wilderness paintball, cliffhanger swing, laser tag, and navigating along some high ropes. Anyone desiring additional information about Shepherd of the Ozarks should check out their web-site: http://www.sotocamp.com/ The mycologists participating at this year’s NAMA foray include: Dr. Clark Ovrebo, the foray’s chief mycologist, Dr. Alan Bessette, Arleen Bessette, Dr. Andy Methven, Dr. Michael Kuo, Dr. Jean Lodge, Dr. Tom Volk, Dr. Britt Bunyard, Walt Sturgeon and David Lewis. It’s going to be a great foray this year in Arkansas! The scheduling of the foray for late October will assure that participants will not have to deal with high temperatures or humidity or ticks or chiggers. As an added bonus the leaves on the oak and hickory trees should be exhibiting some brilliant fall colors. Hope to see you in October! – Jay Justice, President of the Arkansas Mycological Society and Registrar for the NAMA 2013 foray.
