Autumn

Autumn is the peak season for wild mushrooms, as cooler, wetter weather triggers fungi to fruit in forests and lawns. Popular, delicious varieties include Hen of the Woods (on oak/maple), Chicken of the Woods (on dead wood), Porcini, Chanterelles, Lion’s Mane, and Lobster mushrooms. Proper identification is critical, as many toxic look-alikes also thrive during this time.
