I mushroom hunt since I was a little kid. My mother would send me to the woods to get her fresh mushrooms for soup. We also dried and pickle mushrooms for winter. I stopped mushroom hunting for some time after immigrating to the USA due to having other stuff to worry about. Then we moved to small town close to the woods and started again. My wife is a city girl and mushroom hunting was kid of scary to her. But after she learned she became somewhat fanatical mush hunter checking the woods for morels few weeks before the season actually starts. Now we own our own forest so it is just matter walking outside of the house.
We pick morels in May, several kinds of oyster mushroom, "butter" mushroom, champignons (button mushroom), puffballs and few other kinds during summer and hen of the woods during fall. Our favorite is morel but we consume pretty much any edible mushrooms we find on the property.

Vacuum packed for flash freezing
Puffballs

Dryad's saddle - edible but kind of tough
