Answer 2

I go mushroom picking every year most of our shrooms are late summer or fall time.usually after a good rain certain ones need a good ground frost.GET a MUSHROOM FIELD BOOK for your area or find someone WHO knows mushrooms and go with them.We have some real deadly ones in northern Ontario Canada{my 6 late wives can attest to that HA HA }Be really careful once you get the hang of the good ones its fun and really tasty they are natures delicacy.PS very rarely [almost never] found on fresh cow or horse p**p in the fields or pastures most grow around rotten vegetation or rotted tree stumps.
