Just wanted to say that I hope the best for all of our WNC redditors.

To those negatively impacted by Helene, my thoughts and heart are with you.

Found at glenville lake!

Disc golf disc for scale.

I know this is something that a lot of folks who forage for mushrooms don’t care to share, but would anyone be willing to point me to some parks or other locations where I could find chanterelles or edible mushrooms near Charlotte, NC? I also am willing to drive towards the mountains if you know of a really good spot. It’s my birthday soon and I would love to try and forage some mushrooms to celebrate! I’d be happy to chat over DMs as well if preferred, thank you so much for any pointers.

Love the margin on this sample!

I found these little dudes today by small creek in Hillsborough, NC. Growing primarily around beech and oak. Are these hedgehogs?

Trail love! Pilot mountain NC. Found at the base of pine spp.

Found a ton of these today. And golden chanterelles popping up everywhere. This is in central NC the day after we got record rainfall. Do some mushrooming this weekend, it'll be a great time for it.
