Do you tend to find the same mushrooms in the same place year after year then?
Fungi sort of grow in the same place, but most species dont fruit every year. The oysters should be there next year. The lot we picked were unprecedentedly wormed. I have never seen such a badly infected foray especially for september. Russulas rarely get wormed, but they are nearly impossible to ID in the field, but if you are in a familiar area and know the taste of what is most likely to grow there you can collect and be reasonably sure of what you are picking. A spore print can take up to 12 hours which is why I didn't cook them at the time. I didn't want to feed anyone duds.
