  1. May be, but to be honest I do not see anything on a slides conforming living nature of the item. Organic, why not, anything with carbon such as petroleum based products will qualify.
  2. Mushroom fruiting bodies usually have limited life span and either dry out or disintegrate after that. 20 years make me suspicious. May be it is something man made. Some kind of chemical compound, polymer, which can absorb moisture.
  3. One of many sp of blushing amanitas
  4. I am not familiar with this mushroom but it is not a death cap or amanita. You and your fingers are safe.
  5. Boletes with pinkish pores are likely tylopilus family. Many are bitter. It is safe to try small piece and spit. I do find tylopilus mushrooms time to time which are not bitter and I eat them without problems even I can't nail exact species. I also consume large mushrooms if they are nice and firm.
  6. I tried to add small amount of peppery milkies to vegetable dishes with mixed results. Sometimes it adds nice distinctive flavor sometime not.
  7. Looks like amanita from cesareae family which are edible, but I personally stay away from amanitas. Mistake with amanita may be pricey.
  8. Looks like chants, not sure about species. Check if they have false gills. You can Google how to distinguish true and false gills.
  9. I agree with Jeff. Slightly deformed specimen.
  10. Looks like oysters to me. There are several species. Summer variety is usually white but fall winter species are usually have grayish brownish colors. In a cold weather these mushrooms can stay around for weeks or months slowly drying decaying.
  11. I am not familia with nameko which sounds like from pholiota family. They do look like flammulina family mushrooms I see in North East US. Can't make confident statement though.
  12. It depends. Some mushrooms, e.g. trumpets may grow continuously for several weeks in the same location, other e.g. honey may have couple waves several weeks apart, but often it is one harvest per season and that is it
  13. Yes, you did, but yellowish color indicate older version which sometime is bitter
  14. Same here. I never tried brick caps. I usually find it in small quantities during times when there are plenty of more attractive mushrooms around.
  15. Mushroom appears to have true gills, not false gills, so not a chant
  16. It appears that stem has reticculation what points away from alboater. Could be T. Griseocarneus although I am not sure if it is found in VA
  17. looks like something from Hypholoma family which contains few edibles but also poisonous sulfur turf. Can't tell for sure. Yellowish gills make me suspicious. you may also check "brick cap" post few posts below which has pictures of another Hypholoma mushroom
  18. Reminds me some Flammulina family mushrooms found in US.
  19. 2 may be shiitake, 3d may be a piece of grifola (hen)
