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.

Thanks Dave! I usually grind up turkey tail and reishi with my coffee beans. Which I always buy dehydrated, first time using something wild.

Thanks for clearing that up. I’ll just stay far away from anything that looks like this

As you can see, it’s growing from a downed branch. It’s very thin and leathery. I’ve never found a turkey tail before, but I remember what they look like. Hopefully it is, because that’ll go straight to my pantry.

Destroying angels is not the best name... looks like yeah, should probably remove ASAP. Thanks for the info!

Awesome information as always. I’ve noticed a lot of Amanita types growing in my yard, mostly pure white and smooth compared to this one. Does the moon promote mushroom growth? I’ve noticed there’s more mycelium growth during half to full moon cycles.

I had no idea there were gilled boletes. It did print yellow, I just missed taking a picture of it. Thanks again!

I found something called Deadly Fibrecap (Entoloma). Seems similar to this. Absolutely agree, 200% sure before even nibbling ha.

Growing in a shady area around sweet gum and pine trees. There were several of them, all looked the same. I was wondering if it had been eaten, but the ruptures on the cap seem to be a natural occurrence, correct me if I'm wrong. The flesh was fibrous on closer inspection after slicing.

I couldn't find anything resembling this mushroom, growing in a shady area under various trees (sweet gum, pines). It released a very fragrant mushroom aroma when sliced. The gills were yellow staining when pressed on paper.

This is the first of three specimens I found today. Pretty sure it's an Amanita Muscaria, but I'm fairly new at this. It was growing among dead sweet gum leaves.
