Red beef steak mushrooms

[kwaynem]

Not sure where to put this but anyone hunt the big red mushrooms in the spring? I have been having a discussion with a buddy for a while he is convinced they are poisonous and showed me proof but I grew up on them and never had a problem just wondering if anyone else has something to prove I’m not crazy or trying to poison him

August thru December is when we used to find them in NE Oklahoma, maybe we're not taking about the same shrooms? They grow on the sides of oaks.

No the ones we get are out of the ground if you look them up it says not edible but my family has been eating them since before I was born they come up right before morels

Beefsteak are also known as False Morel, or Red Morel. They are poisonous to some folks. Other folks eat them all of the time without problems. I don't take any chances and stay away from them.

Guess my family and some friends are the lucky ones if you know where they grow let me know

I have eaten them and not had any known issues.
Then again, some people think I’m a little off…. Could be from the red shrooms. Lol
