I'm Zach, founder of ๐’๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐…๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐Œ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฌ โ€” the only NYS licensed and certified wild mushroom harvester operating in Central New York. I supply specialty and foraged mushrooms to restaurants, chefs, and food lovers across the region. I know what I'm looking for, I know what it's worth, and I will come to you.

What to look for:

๐ŸงกChicken of the Woods - bright orange and yellow shelves growing on or at the base of oak, cherry, or locust trees. Hard to miss.
๐Ÿ’› Chanterelles โ€” golden yellow, funnel shaped, fruiting in mossy hardwood forest floors near oak and beech. Often in clusters.
๐Ÿ–ค Black Trumpets โ€” small, dark, trumpet shaped mushrooms growing in leaf litter under beech and oak. Easy to overlook but incredibly valuable.

Here's the thing โ€” please ๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐Ÿ. Wild mushroom identification requires expertise and experience. Look-alike species exist and misidentification can be dangerous. That's where I come in.

If you think you have any of these on your property, you must send clear photos along with your location before I can come out.
Photos are required - this is how I confirm the species and plan my visit. No photos, no visit.
I will come to you, harvest responsibly, and pay you on the spot.

This is a win for both of us. Your property produces something valuable, I do the work, and you get paid.

Grilled Stuffed Morels ๐Ÿ„
Crab ยท Bacon ยท Ramp ยท Cream Cheese

End of season morels deserve a send-off. Hereโ€™s how we did it tonight.

THE FILLING
Render bacon โ†’ sautรฉ ramp stems & leaves in the fat โ†’ mix with cream cheese, lump crab, S&P. Simple. Smoky. Rich.

THE MORELS
Halved lengthwise ยท brushed with butter ยท salted ยท filled ยท fresh thyme on top ยท cooked on heavy duty foil right on the grill grates.

THE GRILL
375โ€“400ยฐF ยท lid closed ยท 8โ€“10 min
Foil keeps the filling in place and the morels formed perfectly.

FINISH
Fresh chives over the top. Thatโ€™s it.

๐ŸŒฟ Ramps are nearly done for the season โ€” if youโ€™ve got them, use them.

These are going alongside pasta Alfredo, sautรฉed fiddleheads, and wilted watercress. Full spring forage dinner.
