Under Our Feet, Mushrooms Offer New Tastes For Ocean State Foragers
We see them on our walks and commutes, growing under bushes, popping out of mulch or clinging to oak trees. Some species are more commonly found in shaded, damp woods while others will grow in rotting hay bales or near areas rich with cow manure. From the gorgeous whites of a lions mane to short stemmed bolets freckled orange and yellow to some out-of-this-world feather patterns on a peasant polypore, mushrooms thrive all around us but few understand how many are native to Rhode Island and more importantly for some, which are edible.
Finding And Understanding Wild Mushrooms In Every Season
Following the path along the bank of a stream, I slowed down to cross another small brook. Glancing sideways up its stony course, I suddenly came to a complete stop. The brook, bordered with pale green sphagnum moss, was coming down through a little ravine full of beech trees. This was a textbook Black Trumpet spot, an area where it would actually be worth my time to scan the forest floor for those camouflaged little devils. I saw just what I had hoped to see: dark grey trumpet-shaped mushrooms. In this patch they weren’t camouflaged at all, they were growing right up out of the moss, the colors contrasting perfectly and I could see the mushrooms continuing further up into the ravine along the banks of the brook.
