There are tons of these growing under my pines. I believe they are chicken fat boletes. Anyone have any comments/input on flavor, whether or not they're worth cooking, etc.?

Washington County Mushroom Hunt

Haven't seen many game birds around here unfortunately except turkey, although I'm sure they are there lol Id love to be able to confidently identify honey mushrooms becuase I think that is what I am seeing the most of. I can submit some photos and see what the verdict is. -
Hey everyone! I just want to invite anyone who lives in/near Washington County to come hunt my property if they'd like. There are lots of open trails to walk, and I have spotted tons of mushrooms along them within the last few days. The area is full of old logging trails, and there are hundreds of mushrooms sprouting left and right all around. Please private message me if interested.

I have a ton of these growing all through my yard now under the pines...not sure what the heck they are. I doubt they're edible but could someone maybe help ID?

Pictures of today's haul: I am 99.9% sure these are the aborted entoloma but I just want to get another opinion before I attempt to try one since this is my first time collecting these. There were probably hundreds scattered all over the ground.... some at the base of trees, some just like, "hello!" in the middle of the trail. The last picture I believe is the non aborted type which I found growing from the same mycelium. My only worry is they may be too old?? I feel they are more brown inside rather than pink/red. Input??

Thanks for the help! I'll probably try the one public park close to home, although they hold annual guided mushroom hunts... so it will probably come down to me scaling cliffs as usual to try and get where no one else has gone yet thanks again!!

Wow, super jealous! I've never found a good maitake specimen yet around what types of trees or areas have you had the most luck in?

Thank you guys. That's a perfect start I will make my way out to the woods this weekend, fingers crossed...

Hey everyone! So this is my first year attempting a fall mushroom hunt...I am usually out in the spring aggressively harvesting morels, fiddleheads, ramps, nettle, etc... so I figure I could try my hand at some fall foraging. Could someone help me out with what should be out this time of year? Ive seen puffballs for sure...but Im thinking hen of the woods and chicken of the woods should also be out (or have been out), right? Any other common mushroom suggestions to add to my list? I always mean to do some late summer-fall hunting, but my timing is just never any good Much appreciated....Can't wait! Thanks
