I found these today during my first lawn mowing of the year. Pretty nice to discover.😋
 
Nice haul! We just take the caps and leave the stems..
 
What sort of terrain are they found in? I have never found them before.
I normally find them in wooded area’s near dead wood. After a good rain in the spring they pop out. Don’t seem to grow much around oaks.

Up here I find them in areas where there are cottonwood trees.
 
I used to find them a lot. I seemed to forget how to find them. It has been years since i got any :(

Here (SE Iowa) They are in areas of vegetation that get morning light, especially east-facing hillsides.

These were in my yard (sand) near a lot of walnut trees; not really typical.
I'm getting hungry now ! What's your favorite recipe for cooking these lovely beauties !
I cut them in halves end-to-end and soak in weak salt water to clean. Drain well and dip in beaten egg, coat with fine cracker crumbs and saute in a skillet with melted butter.
