Couple questions for the more experienced guys. With the frost last night and tonight, does that slow down growth even with daytime temps in the 50s/60s? With the ones that may have popped Monday and Tuesday, does the frost make the whole mushroom useless or the top that got frostbite?

Usually highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s with some recent rain will get them up pretty good. There is always exceptions but as a general rule that's when they start. If their was some up before the frost they'll either get burnt on the top first or they just fall apart. The burnt part can be Consumed or you can cut it off if you want. Next week looks to be getting right temperature wise so you better get out there. Good luck.
The frost could burn the tops of them but they are still good to eat. The mushrooms are all about the soil temps. With the cool days and the frosty nights it will slow them down. Mid next week should be great
Mowed yesterday and came across a half a dozen of them on the property. Wife went around and marked them off with sticks. None of real decent size just yet, but we'll continue to be on the lookout for'em...
Jamie's comment about the box turtle leaving him in the dust was funny as I can relate with my leg. Not woods ready but might have to go old school and drive some railroad roads.

I deep fried mine in a tempura style batter, seasoned up with cayenne and black pepper, little garlic powder and salt. Some horsey style sauce for dipping.
I don't know of any poisonous look-alikes, they're fairly easy to identify. I'm no expert by far and easily identified them. They smell like cucumbers or watermelon. You will have to scrape the spores off the underside, they should scrape easily with a spoon if not too old. My wife preferred the oysters, I couldn't tell much difference. Good luck.
And feel them all over. Thick/tough ones are not real good. We cut off (1-2") outside edge where tender.
