You haven’t provided a lot of the necessary information to make a confident ID proposal……you can compare to Leucocoprinus birnbaumii which is a common potted plant mushroom, which is poisonous to people and pets, but won’t hurt your palm…. Again, just a guess without more info…

Agree with Vitog….these look like the C. Tubeaformis I collect in Ontario….

Not a lot to go on so just a guess …perhaps late fall oyster mushroom Panellus Serotinus…..need a lot more info for a confident Id proposal…..

Don’t believe this is C. Tubeaformis…..not entirely sure, but maybe something in the Pholiota genus? Spore print may help…

Honey mushrooms are edible but some people get an upset stomach after eating them…..I always parboil my honeys first, discarding the water…then cook them however you want….never had any issues….

I don’t believe these are Penny buns……did you try to taste these?…with boletes it is generally safe to nibble a small piece and then spit it out to see if it is bitter….

Not entirely sure but look like genus Pholiota…

Hi folks, I have never collected these for eating but have read that they are a good edible. looking for confirmation on ID and any experience with eating them. Thick white stem, snaps easily like a Russula. White pores, white flesh. Everything turns indigo blue immediately after handling. No distinctive smell or taste. Thanks

Compare to Phyllotopsis Nidulans…..

Not sure, but reminds me of a Turbinellus (Gomphus)….?….

Maybe compare to Phyllotopsis Nidulans?….hard to make out from the picture…

Nice pictures Calvert

Compare to Bondarzewia Berkeleyewi?

Welcome to the forum Live, please read this

Welcome to the forum Wjengle… please read this Tough to make out what they are from those pictures….

To answer your other question, parboil first( add a little salt to the water), discard the water and then freeze, pickle or fry….. I usually pickle them smaller than that ( veil intact), ……stems can be chewy…

If you are new to honey mushrooms, there are a couple things you should know. Some people are sensitive to honeys, par boiling them first is recommended. I always boil them and discard the water…..I have seen some mention that alcohol should not be consumed with honey mushrooms, not sure about that but I err on the side of caution….

Agree on honey mushrooms. Double check to make sure with a white spore print. Easy to get spore print from honey mushrooms, place mature cap on piece of paper or aluminum foil gill side down.

Compare to Armillaria Tabascens……look for a white spore print…. funny we posted at exact same time I guess 😄

Compare with Elm Oyster…..the two tone cap looks off but I suspect that is due to the huge amount of rain recently…

Look like honey mushrooms…..verify with a white spore print although I think you can see the spore print on some of the mushrooms……Armillaria sp.

If growing directly off the maple, compare with Elm Oyster

Let me preface with I am not an expert…..but to me the gills look wrong for a true Elm oyster, at least the ones I usually pick do not have decurrent gillls…. I think these are probably some type of oyster, maybe even a different Hypsizgus species…

Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of other information on this one, but it has my curiosity peaked. A friend was out moose hunting in Ontario and stumbled upon this mushroom and sent me the picture. The bright orange color and large size (7 inches) caught his attention. He only took the one pic. With the limited information available, I was wondering if anyone recognized it. The only thing that comes to mind for me is an atypical presentation of a Jack o Lantern. The mushroom was left in the bush.

I am no expert. Spore print will help. If white, check flammulina velutipes...
