There is an older gentleman on my route that I have befriended... He is an avid outdoorsman and he has peaked my interest on picking edible mushrooms. He gave some pointers on looking for popinkis and sheepshead. I'm sure the popinkis will be out soon with cooler overnight temps. Anyone have any tips on cleaning, cooking and storage?

Thanks for the info chez...I heard that last year was not a good year for picking. Your right, if we don't some decent rain this year will be unproductive

Is rams head (sheep's head) and hen of the woods the same?

Rams head and sheep head are basicly the same only with a different color.
Chicken of yhe woods grow the same but redish on top.

I was out in the woodlot out back on saturday and found a big sheepshead, or at least it woulda been big. Something else found it first and it was pretty dug up. I'm hoping for a good rain to bring out the shrooms but it doesn't look like we'll be getting much for a while.
