The Old Man of the Woods lives up to his name. The adults don’t taste good, but if you can spot a young button one, dry it and grate it with a Microplane. It tastes like truffle. They pop up August through October on hardwoods, but with this weather pattern, we’re hearing there are some early findings. You can’t really encourage these naturally, but if you’re in the right climate and have a green thumb, transporting the soil they’re found in would do the trick.
