Open Chat

Welcome to Open Chat — the casual corner of our MHMA community. This is a free-form space where members can connect, chat, and get to know each other beyond our forays and groups. No agenda, no topic requirements — just good conversation among people who share a love of fungi.

John Cox and I took a walk yesterday in the Wappingers area of Dutchess County and found our first golden oyster mushrooms of the season. Everyone knows the ills of this mushroom but my favorite way to remediate that problem is to eat them!
