It took us 3 hours to clean and pre-cook them afterwards. I even dehydrated a bunch of them and blended into a mushroom powder, which is like a powdered umami explosion. The rest went into the freezer.

I am jealous and want to learn to do this. Is there a book you would recommend, and can I be successful in Rhode Island?
Mushroom varieties are different from place to place, so make sure the book you get applies to the varieties your local area. I have no idea which mushrooms you have in Rhode Island, but it couldn’t hurt to look around.
Unless you pick the wrong mushrooms, then it could hurt a lot.
@Reverendender Hi Neighbor! Yes, there are groups in Rhode Island that forage for mushrooms. There are a ton of places to go in South County. Chicken of the woods is very common, and is in bloom right now. My friends from Westerly are very hush hush about where the best spots are.
@Holyhandgrenade
Chicken of the woods is delicious! Where might one find these groups?
