I just wish I could find a morel, chanterelle, and porcini dealer.

What happens when you put in your zip code and search here?

I hope you find something near you.

How do you cook them? They are pretty cheap here so I tried number of times this summer and found the flavour just not worth the cleanup hassle. Maybe they are different in NA. IIRC the traditional method here is to boil them and then cook with bacon and onion, so chances of their flavour is 0.

Fry them in butter and put them on a piece of toast.

Tried exactly that, def there’s nice mild flavour, but personally not worth the hassle.

Yeah, I've got foraging with a friend that knew what she was doing, and she really only did it for a fun excuse for a hike and bought her mushrooms at the farmer's market. Granted, I'm in Portland, so mushrooms are exceptional up here, but there's just no way you'll find the quality and quantity the pros do.

You should try lion's mane if you haven't already. It's pretty good. My favorite typically remains pink oyster mushroom.

I've grown mushrooms (from known spores) before and it's interesting. The problem with it is that most mushrooms only grow on very specific materials, eg. only on oak wood or straw.
