Just found these growing under a bush, surrounded by old mulch. Very bright white flesh when you cut into it.

Thanks so much

Hello forum! Been a while since I last posted. My brother ran into this mushroom and I wasn’t sure what I was looking at. Any ideas? Unfortunately this is the only image I have. Looks porous at the bottom; leathery sheen top. Maybe it’s just an old Bolete

Thank you guys and hello Dave! Happy new year. Yeah this seems to nail it. I asume it’s not a useful mushroom.

We just moved towards the Georgia mountains and I’m finding lots of new specimens I’d never seen before, here’s the first one I’d like to get opinions on. Found growing within garden mulch. As you can see it’s basically hollow, fibrous flesh. Had an odd smell to it, not very pleasant I’d say.

Thanks! To the kitchen they go.

Thanks so much Dave. The only bolete I’ve tried so far was that Old Man of the Woods I found recently. Not a bad tasting mushroom, reminded me of the standard store bought. I’d love to expand on that obviously, I see a lot of boletes around here but usually are all gobbled up by bugs.

Hey there, seems like (hope) I ran into some black trumpet mushrooms. Didn’t have my phone on me so I couldn’t take a pic of them on land. But they were growing in a separate pattern around an oak tree I believe.

Thanks for confirming. First time finding these. Will be trying it out, probably sautéed in butter, salt, garlic.

Amazing to see this color in nature.

Yeah I think you’re right... thanks!

Hey Forum, I’m almost certain these are king boletes, appreciate the help if you recognize them. Big as my hand!

Been doing some digging and it’s confused me even more. Some articles say the deep orange pores could indicate poisonous. But the blueing could also indicate edible? And others say to avoid bluing.

Oh I agree, when it comes to eating you better be 200% sure haha. I’ve heard the horror stories.

Hey again. Found this nice bolete this morning. Wondering if it’s something worth eating. I’ve never seen such a clear blue bruising on these before. Thanks in advance.
