I also frequently see large stands of edible mushrooms growing wild in the woods that the deer and other animals don't appear to be too interested in. If you enjoy eating gourmet mushroom varieties, growing your own on hardwood logs with spawn plugs is the best way to go. It takes a little effort but it's not difficult and once inoculated the mushroom logs will continue to fruit over many years.

Do you have to worry about animals eating them? I have lots of shady space but a lot of it is shared with deer and other woodland critters. I love the idea of growing my own mushrooms.

What a delicious post :)

You have rekindled my appetite for foraging again. It is always something I intended to take seriously and I think I will indulge myself with a kit and try it out.

I have summarized your post on Landscape Juice.
