Niiiiiiiiiice! While deer hunting today, I swung by one of my favorite spots for chanterelles and found - NONE. There were a few other weird looking mushrooms there, but I didn't feel lucky.

Probably invest in a good mushroom book. I only pic the common ones.....I'm afraid I'd go on a trip and never come back...or worse shat my pants in public!Once the rain started, we got loads of them here on my property. Unfortunately, I don't find myself competent to identify them well enough to know what we've got. The shaggy manes are fairly easy. I know what golden chanterelles and morels look like but we don't have those.
There is one pretty large kind of mushroom that has come up this year that I don't remember seeing previously. They really have to push the earth aside to come up.

The caps are about five or six inches across, the stems are about one and a half inches thick. Anybody know this species?
We've also got some bracket fungi on old stumps that might be edible but they are rock hard.
Here's an online guide that someone tipped me to a few years ago...Probably invest in a good mushroom book. I only pic the common ones.....I'm afraid I'd go on a trip and never come back...or worse shat my pants in public!
That's a good one! I have a few good books but I still stick to the basicsHere's an online guide that someone tipped me to a few years ago...
I've been reviewing the images online, I didn't see any that resembles the large ones I've shown in my post above.Probably invest in a good mushroom book.
Exactly. Go with what you know works.That's a good one! I have a few good books but I still stick to the basics
That would be fun! To bad it's so far awaySnohomish county mycological society has a free show every year in Everett. This year's show is today, 10/22/23. No admission and they'll help you identify anything you want to bring in.
Looks like "Angels Wing". In any case, if there are no stems it's likely a member of "Pleurotus". "Generally" a safe mushroom. But you know the drill. NEVER eat wild mushrooms that you haven't positively identified.
I believe that was one of the only edibles that my father could find in the hills around Salt Lake City when WE got into hunting mushrooms, years ago. He used to bottle them. "Pleurotus" not sure of the rest of then name.
I think that they may be older (mature) "oyster mushrooms." Newer ones are rolled underneath on the edges. Always check before eating - find someone that picks them regularly.
Yes. That is a batch that I didn't get to early enough. I was out of town and they were over done by the time I got back. It's the only picture I took since the others I harvested earlier on and didn't get photos.I think that they may be older (mature) "oyster mushrooms." Newer ones are rolled underneath on the edges.
