Minnesota is loaded with edible mushrooms including Morels in the spring. There is a false Morel out there so make sure the bottom of the cap is connected to the stem and not just a bell shape around it. The false wont kill you but it will make you extremely sick.
So far this year Ive had about 8 different varietys. Right now Chantrelles, Oysters and Lobsters are in season.
Heading up north tomorrow to do some lake trout fishing. Hoping to find some lobsters where i'm going. If you've never had them, they have the consistency of lobster meat.
Oh so tasty, ugly as hell though.

I love chantrelles, although I do not pick oysters (does not look like a "serious" mushroom to me and is not valued that much).
As for lobsters - have not noticed them yet, but I will be on the look out for them
Mushrooms like that are easy to mix with something else, so I only pick the ones I am 100% sure to be edible.
I mean you can go, see 10 unknown mushrooms and you just pass them by. Yet 8 out of 10 could be good ones and only 2 bad ones. But you pass them as they look strange or unknown.
