Keep in mind that honeys more often cause allergies and intestinal distress (and is also one of the species that cause poisoning in combination with alcohol IIRC). They're fine eating, just heat them through and don't booze it.

Yeah I got some yesterday, and earlier today cooked and ate just a couple caps to see if I have any reaction. So far, I've had CotW, lobsters, sweet tooth, chanterelles, and no issues, so fingers crossed. I also had a bit of beer with my lunch before I ate the shrooms, cause I didn't see that it may react with alcohol, so...uhh...well if I do feel sick or weird at all, I will try again with no booze in my system.

Anyone have a guess on these prominently gilled clusters covering my neighbor's lawn here in central NC?

I have bbeen seeing honey fungus everywhere including int hat same yard but these looked different--the head is totally cupped without a distinct cap and the gills are super prominent. Is that just something that varies? As to trees I'll need to go check, it's mostly pine and oak here with a side of sweet gums. These were all on the grass of course. Edit: huh, visiting them again there does seem to be a continuous spectrum between these and more classic looking honey clusters good call!

Good news is now is the time to find some. I'm in Michigan, within the past week I've found maitake, CoW, and blewits in freaking huge numbers. Everything is poppin

Found these guys on an old stump in the park nearby:  Any ideas? I cut it open, the flesh is light yellow, as are the gills. I trimmed the base of the cap to expose the gills and I'm checking the spore color now. Not sure if I'd eat them, since they're in a park... on the other hand, there's enough clover and plantain in the grass that they must not be using herbicide... Edit: spores are pale, cream or light yellow. Pham Nuwen fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Oct 16, 2021 |

To be honest I have nowhere near the level of confidence necessary to eat any mushroom I foraged myself. But I will hopefully be attending a local mushroom outing soon where the more experienced mushroom hunters can guide me to not poisoning myself.

My latest trip to the woods proved fruitful, i t's been really dry here but here's a ton of amanita muscaria     An old parasol, it was spongy as hell. I probably should have left it there, but I suppose most of the spores were already gone.  Some other amanita   Various gregarious  The main event  The Leccinum haul (and a bit of hydnum), the parasol sadly went in the compost pile.

You picked any of those muscaria? If you opt to use them for food or tripping, please be mindful of how to break up the ibotenic acid, heavy diarrhea, cramps and nightmarish seizures can wreck your whole day.

 This a morel right? It's hollow, and I can't find anything it could be other than a morel, but it's wildly out of season. Could the record rainfall in CA have triggered an early crop?

Yes, it's a morel. Sometimes you get "landscape morels" in weird areas or seasons; for example, I generally expect them at >5000ft elevation in May but have found them in bark mulch under a bush at sea level in the fall once.

The morel was pretty tasty. First mushroom I can say I enjoyed the flavor of, but I've only tried shiitake and portabella previously. Here's a bunch more mushrooms I discovered today. Shaggy ink cap.  Not sure.   Also not sure.  I am sure that I am not sure.

They were just a nice photo op. It's funny because it's a minuscule planted patch of pines in the middle of a big deciduous forest. They used it to harvest huge boletes in a more convenient place, but after just a couple of years they never grew back and now it's just a carpet of muscaria.

Still haven't figured out what these guys are, but I super want to eat them.   Turns out the spores are actually more a middling brown, I think I was looking at immature spores before. I swiped my finger across a cap that was directly under another and got a thick layer of dark brown spores which quickly dried to a lighter brown.

sexy tiger boobs posted:Maybe Gymnopilus of some sort? Yeah, that's the closest thing I'd found in browsing mushroomexpert.com. Given the size, I'm wondering if they're Gymnopilus ventricosus, which is apparently inedible and contains no psilocybin, making them of little interest to anyone except in an aesthetic sense.

 There were a couple more eggs just poking up nearby. But I was out camping with no way to properly prepare them, so I left them. This was in Trinity NF at about 3500 ft, in the middle of a gravel forest road.
