There are people on kijiji who buy mushrooms.
We dug up most of our asperigas patch last week to relocate it( wife started the seeds 15 years ago) and most were not showing any life at the crown yet but the false morels along our driveway are up.
IF ? you can definitely pick and identify mushrooms for safe eating , find your own clientele as a friend of mine does, selling to Asian Restaurants and Stores, I don't think that there are any actual buyers here in Ontario.
I've only been able to find a few morrals at a time, never the mother load and nothing yet this year. Actually the only place I've ever found them was around the property where I live but again only 2-3 at a time. Also find the odd shaggy mane here, again I'd like to get into a mess of them as well. Fond memories as a kid of picking shaggy manes and puffballs with dad, bringing them home and frying them up. Anyone else like shaggy manes???
I get a few shaggy manes too. I have never found a puff ball, but I have eaten them. I would love to find one.

At the right time of year , we have lots of shaggy manes come up in areas of out lawn, and puff balls I can find plenty in the bush just up the road from us in Sept. if it rains enough.
September month for puffballs. Look around uncut grassy areas of abandoned farms/homesteads. I just slice them and fry in butter.Quote:

We used to find lots of shaggies on the lawns of industrial places and cemeteries around Whitby, but you had to get there early. Seldom find them up here.
