VGC – I checked them out on your site, hope it helps!
Sarah – Yep. I feel really fortunate to have unknowingly bought a lot with an edible mushroom ‘problem’.
Mel – agreed re: the warm and long fall. I’m telling you, global warming wouldn’t be all bad. By the time we’re seniors, maybe we WILL be growing vinifera in our back yards.

I’d say you got the late-year boon because of our freakishly warm fall. The ground isn’t frozen yet so those little ‘shrooms must have thought, “hey, we can give it one more shot!”

I just posted a whole bunch of wild mushrooms that are growing on my property on my blog. I’m pretty sure some at the end of the photo series are some shaggy parasols. I found them last year, but was too terrified to eat wild mushrooms. This year, they look a little too soggy and overgrown to be any good.
