Mushrooms

GOOD CALL!!!

Honeys are out hard. Love em this size

I dont know Sprat that mushroom looks a little big for a Honey mushroom,

It should have a fine hair on the cap, a ring on the stock and produce a white spore print. It grows in clusters from rotting wood and when you cut it open the heart of the mushroom and the stock should be white.

Not saying it isn't I am just saying be a 100 percent sure as there are some pretty dangerous look likes.

Steelheader - They look like fall oysters.

Like said take pics of them in situ growing and note they type of wood they are growing from.

Make sure you research them before you eat them.

Musky, its for sure a honey, ate these fat honeys a bunch of times. Like VBB said i stay away from ones i dont know

Be careful guys, I just heard last night that calls are way up at poison control this year due to mushroom poisoning. I have noticed on our hikes the increase in people enjoying the outdoors which may also be a problem. As stated if you can't identify it don't touch it, if you do touch it wash your hand.

That's good to know. A buddy of mine went picking with his wife last week. Gave me a video call to ask about a certain type of mushroom him and his wife were picking. They look like a variation of chanterelles known in my native tongue as "Gruzdya". I said to him no way in hell those are it even though they look like them. His wife is more stubborn than an ox and decided to eat them anyways. My buddy who took my word said I am not eating that. He called me 3 days later and thanked me. His wife spent 2 days in the bathroom with crap coming out of both ends...

ok so what is this. I never seen anything like this before. I was coming back from deer hunting and saw this. Took a picture and kept on walking,

Hey guys any idea on these ones

I got them growing on a lilac stump in my yard as well. Not an expert opinion but I think they may be Trametes ochracea?

Most times it's near impossible to "identify safely" mushrooms from a photo. You need to know there is several ways to identify and several ways must be taken, such as; what is it growing on, is it gilled, polyporus, toothed, are the gills attached, smell, stem type, color, cap shape, spore print, the list goes on. Don't mess with what you don't know as I earlier posted poison control is busy this year with suspected mushroom poisoning, having the skitters and up-chucking is a very minor concern to liver and kidney failure. This is the best advice I can give all of you BE WISE, BE CAUTIOUS, WHEN IN DOUBT LEAVE IT!!

Yes you can eat them, I've only ever seen a white one. Coral mushroom
