Kind of sounds like my log along the driveway bears head tooth honey hole grin We got finally got a "few" drops of rain up here; just need a little sunshine and will be back in the game soon.....

Made it out with the kids tonight for a short stint. To my surprise my wife came back with some freshly post-pinned oysters, and some chaga!

Had to try to equal your hat trick, jerkin... winkfull-1826-33483-464706_10201068894826617

That big one on the right almost looks like a Half Morel? Long stem and the hood seems to hang over. Have you cut it in half yet? confused

It's not a half-free, which I thought at first as well. Wavy-capped verpa... not edible. I had to take a pic of it because it was freakishly huge. Biggest stipe I've seen on a verpa.

Let it be known- Matt is the king of big stiped Verpa! wink got out in west central MN over the weekend and took my nieces out searching-needless to say they were into it and it soon turned into a contest over who got the biggest bulbed ramp....seemed too early for the morels but did get a few oysters-fishing was good too- full-4296-33593-image.jpg

Strangely enough, my daughter is the ramp lover..My boys are not big fans of the ramps..all of them are big mushroom fans and I need to ration them if I want to get any... grin Not sure why my pics are sideways...

You're a mushroom lover, everything we do is a little sideways!

Jealous of all of the oysters. We've found that one cluster, and that's it. I think we need a hard rain to get them pinning up here...

NICE!!! I don't know if it's warm enough around here, or if they are cyclical. About 2 years ago I had an immense Oyster crop by my house then last year I didn't see anything. Still haven't seen anything this year yet.

I think I'm with you.....that and I can actually find Oysters smile Morels are very "shroomy" whereas Oysters are a milder mushroom. Still have never had Chants though.

JP, that flushing you had back there was probably a once and done deal. Possibly caught the end of the party, or the mycelium is happy and doesn't have a reason to fruit... The log in my yard that's infested hasn't fruited either.

Oysters only need about 40 degree temps to pin, but like the hot wet weather and will go bonkers in it.

I too love oysters. Very versatile and tasty on their own!

The oysters have been pretty thick around the St Cloud and Mille Lacs areas the last week or so....I know it's good pickin' when I'd much rather be wading through wood ticks chasing after mushrooms instead of sitting in the boat catching walleyes!

I gave my parents some so they could eat them for dinner tonight, and my dad called me before dinner asking if I'd take him out tomorrow morning. smile

Yeah, plenty of oysters out and about right now. The family went out yesterday and picked some some for supper last night. Some fancy big long egg noodles, beef stock, garlic, butter, provence sesoning, with some goat cheese.....even got to pick the first fresh garden salad.....yum!

Well after his first 'shrooming foray this morning, I think Stick in Mud the Elder is officially hooked...I don't know the final tally, but we might've had 10 or 15 pounds in less than two hours. Apparently he's stopping at some woods on the way home to see if he can find some more. smile

Oh, and guess who's coming over tomorrow morning to see if we can find some new spots? crazy

Oh, and PB, if you can cook like that, how about we make a deal--I'll bring over the oysters and the fixings, and you can get 'em all ready? grin

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
