Fall mushrooms time?

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.

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!

Here's an online guide that someone tipped me to a few years ago...

That's a good one! I have a few good books but I still stick to the basics

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.

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've always said, there aren't a lot of mushrooms that will kill you. But quite a few that may make you wish you were dead for awhile.

I'm hoping I get these again this November.

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.

Pick em when they are tender and saute in butter. Mmmmm good.

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.
