Wild Edible Mushrooms in New Brunswick

Hello everyone, my name is Dwight and I love to hunt & eat wild mushrooms.I have been an avid mushroom hunter since 1987, and a professional commercial wild mushroom harvester and buying agent for a number of large Mushroom companies in British Columbia since 1997, until I returned home here to New Brunswick in 2006.  Since returning home I have kept active in the industry by harvesting wild mushrooms for many restaurants here in our  Maritime provinces, and as guest speaker at many of our provinces 'Non Timber Forest Products' conventions & Seminars.

Not a lot is known about wild mushrooms here in our province of New Brunswick, so with that said I would like to thank Margret & Axel for inviting me to join in the fun here at 'Smart Eat' to see if we can find some interest in wild mushrooms. So let's begin, First Caller, your on the air!!

Hi Ross, I also spent 30 years in BC studying mushroom fungi and other wild edible foods, we live in a paradise here where both are plentiful and ready for the wild harvest. I am not aware of an actual Mycology club here in new Brunswick but I do know that Nova Sctia, and Newfoundland both have an annual hunt. If Margret & Axel are colse freinds, then I say you could not be in better company. They have supported both my efforts to teach and my business for many years now.

 

Very glad to have added you as friend on Smarteat. TV

Perhaps we could sped a day checking these Puff Balls ( Giant Puffballs are excellent eating out on your place and then eat some of them with the great Wine you promise, the ones growing on your Apple trees are most likely Oysters that we would have to use some of the Wine to cook them in, but not too much:) Invite the neighbors and plan for a solstice.

 

Regards,

I have mushrooms galores and of different varieties growing on my land on the ground or on the tree branches during spring or fall. I just came from outside there are some types of mushrooms( like hugh fans as well as the one I saw ( chaga?) online  on one of my dying sugar maple trees. There are some flat white mushrooms on the dead branches of the willow tree as well. I have never harvested any of them , in fear of poison mushrooms. There are hugh puff balls under my old apple trees which I did not dare to harvest and am wondering there might be other types of poison puffballs...How I wish there is a real guru to teach me how to identify the mushrooms. So I can begin to enjoy them or even give them away.

 

May be some one on this site might like to help me . Please email me . I have red wine.:)
