I went to the All California Clubs Foray (ACCF) in Albion last weekend. We actually found an amazingly large number of mushrooms so the myco-geeks were thrilled. Edibles? - a few chanterelles, hedgehogs and winter chanterelles.
Black Trumpets: $12.00 per pound; Hedgehogs: $5.50 per pound; Yellow Feet: $1.00 per pound... With prices like that, you know Black Trumpets are scarce. We hiked two entire mountains where I know I can find them. Nothing!
