NikonSniper Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've looked and looked and have never been able to find any. I too would love to try them! steelnut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buschpounder Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 A family member cooked some up last week. He steamed them first then cooked in pan with leaks and butter. They were very good, like restaurant good. I don't know what they look like but they are around here in dubois area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I know that I read something somewhere a few years ago that they can be found in PA, it may have been on this forum. We've been pigging out on leeks, son brought us a five gallon bucket three weeks ago and another one on Mom's day, we love them!

buschpounder Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 They can be tough to find. Some people look in areas disturbed by fire or logging roads. Some times around old fruit trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikonSniper Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 My cousin was out scouting deer very early Fall last year and found a Hen Of The Woods mushroom cluster about two foot in diameter. Boy was that good eating!! Ridge Rider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy was that good eating!! Yeah they are good. I ate some a couple years ago. I guess they grow on dead trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You may want to do this walk on Sunday: Come to Bilger's Rocks this Sunday May 15th at 1 pm and take a guided, educational mushroom and fungi walk through and around our rocks. Bring a basket for yours and the group's finds if you wish to take something home. Bon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Drive up over Clearfield mountain. You can see tons of ferns from the road. I don't think that there is a particular type of fern that you fry up although I suppose some are better than others. I have the interrupted ferns in my garden and they are just about a foot high now and haven't opened out yet. Watch for ants. Fiddleheads always seem to be full of them. I'd love to see a morel. Been picking mushrooms for many years and have never seen a morel. junk and steelnut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
