I'm not Canadian so have to wait another month for Thanksgiving, but this weekend I'm very thankful for mushrooms. Thursday we left all our unfinished work for the day and went to hike in the Adirondacks--perfect weather and foliage nearly at peak. We found oyster mushrooms and stuck some into our sandwiches and brought some home to stirfry with snow peas. Today we found shaggy manes in the woods nearer home and I made mushroom soup for lunch with some and the rest are going into supper. The fluctuating temps have upped the production from the oak logs on which we grow shiitake.
I'm always wishing we knew more wild ones to gather but the only ones we're sure of besides those I've mentioned are sulfur shelf and puffball. So I wondered what others have cultivated or have and know to gather wild.
