I hunt a lot of wild edible mushrooms. They are tasty, diverse, and fun to look for. I've found that nearly any month of the year I can go in the woods and find something to eat. Mushroom hunting can be dangerous if you don't know what your doing. I'd suggest going to a mycology meeting thats local to your area. Or with someone who already has mushroom hunting experience there are many helpful books on the subject. Never eat anything your not 100% sure of.
Morels can be found in typically in spring, they are quite tasty and highly coveted. they grow in a variety of types of climates and environments. They are one of the easiest mushrooms to accurately identify. They dry and keep well for years.
Chanterelles are a late summer/fall mushroom.
They have a wonderful apricot smell and go great with a variety of dishes.
they don't dry quite as well as morels, but they can be dry sauteed and frozen for later use.
