Found several lbs of edible mushrooms (chicken of the woods) that is super nutritious on my last outing

I get my mushrooms from the produce section at Fred Meyer. They taste great and I'm pretty sure they won't kill me.

Have some of these big white ones inthe yard under the cherry tree. What are they? They are about 10-12" in diameter and grow in twos, both coming from the same spot. It's not paper birch mushrooms cuz those look like light brown pancakes and are a little bigger and don't grow in twos and don't have that ridge on the stem. View attachment 761733

It looks like something in the Agaricus family, but that's not enough to decide whether it's good eating. You'd need to post up more info and photos. Do a spore print, break off a piece and see how it changes color, describe the smell, etc. There's a pretty good group on Facebook called the PNW Mushroom Social Club that would be a good place to ask this question.

For quite few years before Dad passed, for Christmas, I'd get him one of the mushroom "Cakes" from Fungi Perfecti.

I see now they quit selling them. Dad was crazy for mushroom hunting. We lived in UTAH! He did have Pleurotus (shelf fungi/oyster mushroom), from dead cotton woods, available and gathered a lot and bottled them. I got my desire from him and moving to Oregon was great for that. I've been picking and identifying for the better part of 50 years.
