r/Mushroomforaging

Found these in Southeast Louisiana, USA.
They are growing on a dead oak log.

Edit: As pointed out by a commenter, these are NOT shelf mushrooms.

Found in mixed forest of US, WV. Was thinking young maitake in the field, but not sure now that I see maitake on google and have subsequently gone with eastern cauliflower mushroom Sparassis sp. Any ID help appreciated.

As I understand it, this isn’t the rarest mushroom out there, but living in Raleigh, NC it’s actually pretty tough to find legal foraging spots. That said, I do see these fairly often on trails this time of year. Definitely one of the deepest, prettiest colors I’ve come across, so I felt like i needed to share it with people who’d appreciate it.

Haven’t actually tried Amanita jacksonii yet, but I did pick one from my yard today and took a small nibble (spit it out). Honestly… not bad at all. Curious how you all prepare these—would love to hear how people cook them.

Also, if anyone here has experience with the true Caesar’s mushroom (Amanita caesarea in Europe), I’d love to hear about it.

PSA: Don’t trust me on ID. I’m going off research and what I’ve seen in my area, but I’m definitely not a mycologist and could be totally wrong. Amanitas are no joke—some of them really don’t mess around if you get it wrong.

I have quite a lot of these in my yard in varying sizes. Have been trying to pick them up and get rid of them because of my dog. Are they dangerous? I wore gloves and a mask when double bagging them

Me and buddy found these in southern west virgina in the woods and were wondering if anyone had any clue what these are

Hi everyone,

Are these mushrooms edible?

And species are they?

And for people who do mushroom foraging, how do i get started and learn it.

Like how should I learn to identify it myself.

Thank you

City foraging and found this. What kind of mushroom is it ?

Picked these in 20 min on our 6 acres of woods. The weather in the Midwest has been perfect!

kidding, but curious to ID?? in CT, middle of the yard by some moss

Before and after a little brushing clean 🪥😁
