Hi everyone, 

Haven’t found the best app yet for mushrooming (any recs?) and see these in my yard. Are these safe and/or edible and what are they? Thanks!

What are these?

I’m new to mushroom foraging and hoping for some help identifying this monster. I found it growing in soil near the coast in Oregon. The spores were more yellow when freshly picked. Cut white, no bruising that I can see. Any help with identifying this mushroom would be very appreciated!

Anyone good at identifying liberty caps

2 hours of picking, about an hour drive. My friend got what dried mushrooms I still had since they don't have a dehydrator. Spent 4 hours cleaning this before dehydrating. I might have to get better at cleaning mushrooms faster.

Went pretty well yesterday. My dehydrator is going all day today

I cooked these up and they tasted so delicious and sweet. The mushrooms on the smaller cutting board on the upper left are autumn polypore; first time harvesting those as well. The forest provides.

Giant puffball from my yard

The first two pics are of lobster mushroom spotting, and the next two of chanterelles. The last is all of the chanterelle and lobster mushrooms we picked today (all per our local regulations).

Identification help

Found in NW Florida behind our animal enclosures after heavy rain.  Mature caps were too wet to id, but were 2-3” in diameter, gold pointed in the center, gilled with a veil.  Any help?

Identification assistance 

I’ve observed these mushrooms growing on our property every year. I’ve tentatively identified them a few times as Fairy Ring mushrooms (Marasmius Oreades). I’m hoping to get some opinions confirming or pointing out problems with the ID.

Iv’e gotten a match with Mushroom This, I don’t trust the app enough to rely on it for edibility, but it’s enough to point me in a direction.

I’ve done a bit of research:

These mushrooms match the ID points on this page (https://www.mushroom-appreciation.com/fairy-ring-mushroom.html#fairy-ring-mushroom-identification-guide) including white spore print.

My Audubon mushroom field guide lists some look-alikes but none of them match.

Anyone care to share an opinion or something else I might check?

Fairy Ring / Scotch Bonnet (Looking for second opinion)

Ok to harvest from burnt tree?

Not a particularly good year, but we have a good spot that often produces on drier years and this year did not disappoint.

Nice chanterelle haul in Colorado 

These were found in coastal forests of PNW. They were much more golden when first picked. At first, I thought I had found some rainbow chanterelles. But they sent to have pores, or very small spikes. They remind me a bit of hedgehogs too. Does anyone have any idea?

Super Clean Specimen 

I believe these are true, but wanted to seek advice. 

Found on earth bed (not wood) so also think these are not Jack-O-Lanterns but could use help on distinguishing false versus true gills. 

Thanks!
