This is what we had growing on our property. My great aunt and uncle
(he's the one on the photo) would drive in twice a year from New Mexico
to harvest these. This photo is from the early 80's ....

Mom still lives on the same wooded acreage, but she hasn't stumbled upon
mushrooms in this number. We speculate that the hauls were good before
because of the Limousin cattle mom and dad bred that wandered along the
creek and "fertilized" things as they grazed.

I'm sort of curious as to what those would fetch dollar-wise in today's
market.

They sure went well with the fried okra and the Striper Bass (or
catfish!) at our fish fries.
