Many of the shrooms out there have gills and I'm kindof avoiding them as I'm not sure what they are.

I picked one set with gills... I thought theywere possibly oyster mushrooms..... any ideas??

It seems that 'white with gills' are pretty much to be avoided.

Please feel free to tell me your thoughts.

oh.... the clubfoot is a pretty obvious one..... did a raw nibble test... and they're good!


I am just amazed at the variety on the forest floor this year.

The ones with the gills are the Prince mushrooms Probably the best wild mushies out there.
