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.

Fall mushrooms time?

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.

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.
I've got several bird books, but correctly identifying the little ones that flit around in the bushes is still a challenge.
Re. mushrooms, fact is I don't really like them all that much as food. I've eaten them (sauteed in butter or not at all) many times over the years, they go well with a steak. But I'm not fond enough of them to take any chances on self-gathered ones.

Exactly. Go with what you know works.

Snohomish county mycological society has a free show every year in Everett. This year's show is today, 10/22/23. No admission charge and they'll help you identify anything you want to bring in.
