Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
I saw this on Michigan Out Of Doors about a week ago. They did a segment of Morel, (mushroom) picking up in Northwest Michigan. Usually during such things they give out a warning about the dangers of poisonous mushrooms, but there was no such thing. I thought that was kind of irresponsible.

Did you try to contact Jimmy Gretzinger? He's very easy to get a hold of.sfpcc wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 10:02 pmI saw this on Michigan Out Of Doors about a week ago.

Re: Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
Very few mushrooms are actually poisonous. Some of them could upset your stomach but only one very limited class can actually cause damage.

I'll think about but the episode was around a month ago so he might have moved on to other things. I've just heard a few horror stories about people eating poisoned mushrooms.

Re: Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
Do you habitually chime in on topics that you have no actual knowledge of?
From the MSU Extension office:
"In Michigan, there are 50 species of large, fleshy mushrooms known to be toxic to humans. Levels of toxicity vary between species and range from “deadly poisonous,” to “occasional gastric distress.” Several of the deadly species, especially those in the Amanita family, are extremely dangerous because symptoms don’t develop until six to 36 hours after ingestion, which is too late for the only antidote – a stomach pump. Another poisonous mushroom to be aware of this spring is the false morel, or beefsteak mushroom (Gyromitra esculenta). It is commonly mistaken for a true morel, and can have deadly results. "

Re: Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
I go mushroom hunting every year (for 17 years now) with a group of microbiologists on my property and throughout the region. So I might know something about this topic. This article is accurate up until the point where it fails to discuss the frequency to which which the severely poisonous mushrooms are available to Northwest Michigan.FET-500 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 8:04 amDo you habitually chime in on topics that you have no actual knowledge of?

Thank you for asking, what has your experience mushroom hunting been?

Re: Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
I remember "Michigan Outdoors " on Channel 4 with Mort Neff and later Jerry Chiapetta as host .(I thought I heard Chiapetta's legal issues resulted in his ouster. ) Can someone confirm or refute my boyhood and young manhood memories of " Michigan Outdoors ? '
Re: Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
Uhhh, great diversion? Me? I'm an amateur mycologist and hangout with a guy with a doctorate in molecular biology. Yah, I also have morels in my yard.TC Talks wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 8:15 amI go mushroom hunting every year (for 17 years now) with a group of microbiologists on my property and throughout the region.

Re: Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
Sweet! A good friend of mine retired and started a shiitake mushroom farm. Completely fascinating, one weekend every spring he takes 24 inch Maple logs and dips them in shiitake spores. If you help him you get some.
Have you gone through the state certification process? I believe they have two levels, one for identification and one for commercial selling.

Re: Morels / Michigan Out Of Doors
It's the same class for both. The only difference is that if you want to sell them, you must take (and obviously pass) the test they offer at the end of the session. Most people who attend do wind up taking the test, but at the class they held in March, I'd say about 20% - 30% were just there for fun.TC Talks wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2019 2:33 pmSweet!

The class is very interesting, even for the casual mushroom enthusiast. It is jointly presented by the Michigan Dept. of Agriculture and Midwest American Mycological Information. In addition to the information provided, they also cook up some samples of some of the more exotic mushrooms they have found. I don't believe that there are any more sessions scheduled for this year, but anyone interested can check back at http://www.midwestmycology.org/Workshops/Workshops.html.
