Morels - I think of them as brain mushrooms due to their appearance.
Some years here, one or two types of mushrooms are everywhere; the next year it is another type and then the next year zip, nothing. Last year was a nothing year here.
Ourside of puffballs and morels I don't know enough about them to pick any, I do know some poison toad stools can look just like some mushrooms...you got to be smart enough to know the difference or your dead...I'm not smart enough.
I think mushroom hunting is something of an art...
I always keep a 50 pound bag of quick lime to use on dead deer that are smelling really bad, it kills the bacteria that cause the odor...I remember my dad once saying also, that quick lime can be used to sweeten the ground before planting, maybe I'll try spreading some around where I had that salt lick. It was at the edge of the thicket where the puffballs use to grow..
My grandaughter took my dog for a walk a couple of weeks ago and she went down by the stream and found a dead buck..his back end was all shattered (hit by a car) so I guess he made it back to the stream to die...big 8 pointer, but he's far enough from my house so that it doesn't smell up my yards...
