  1. Thanks Dave, you don't think the 'bolete' could be Phylloporus rhodoxanthus? I can take a spore print, won't be eating due to buggyness. Delciosi sounds tasty but it smelled unappetizing. I had only planned to post about the gilled "boletes" but started getting evidence the scaly one was Lepiota and got a bit concerned about handling it so much so wanted to get some other input and now that I have it I'll probably never make the mistake of handling an unknown mushroom again! Thanks again.
  2. Sorry for the picture ordering... Redwood forest northern Californi,a a mile from the ocean, 1st, 2nd, 4th picthose bolete looking mushrooms are about the tastiest smelling shrooms I've ever sniffed, and the slugs sure seem to love them, but gills? Second smaller mushroom in 3rdand 5th pic found growing alone in a clayish road cut, wish I hadn't been touching and smelling it if it is a Lepiota sp... Would feel better if it isn't. 3rd/5th picture larger multicolored mushroom I have no clue, growing in solitary but near others near a swampy creek, just got it inthe shots with the questionable Lepiota. Any thoughts? Curious if a delicious smelling mushroom turns out to be actually edible. Smells reminscant of chicken of the woods.
  3. Hi, sorry again about the bad photos. They definitely have white flesh interior, and grow single. I'll try and get some better pics I'm convinced it's a chanterelle friends have been eating them for weeks now.
  4. Friend called me to get some chanterelles from the mixed conifer forest near Trinidad California. He's been eating them for a few days so they're not toxic, but I was hesitant. They're nothing like the golden chanterelles I've picked up in Washington, these more like "mushroom" mushrooms, not the very distinct rubbery chanterelle shape/texture. I didn't eat any because they seem to have real gills and not those gill-like ridges. But the strange thing, these smell just like apricots. To me, golden chanterelles are fruity smelling but not apricot, while these smell just like them. I looked everywhere online for another type of mushroom that these could be but if you put apricot in the search it comes back as chanterelles. Are they just a different species of chants or something else? Sorry for the pics I can go back out with a real camera if needed.
  5. Thanks Dave, pretty sure it's a conifer log, too decayed to be sure, wish I had a microscope. Glad I asked, none of my internet research brought up Pleurotus and it's potential toxicity. I'll have to go back up and ID the log now but I was of the opinion it's a conifer. Cheers
  6. Hate to waste your time but don't want to get sick, found on rotting log in the rainforest, the sure smell like oysters I've just never harvested them before so would appreciate another set of eyes on the before they go in the pan. Thank
  7. Western Olympic peninsula, Washington state, several miles of a Forest road cut have thousands of these which popped up after a couple of days of rain. Smell very sweet, a little like almond maybe? Have never eaten nor seen true chanterelle before so hesitant to try even though they seem to match description. What do you you think? *Edit These have hollow stems, googlein says they may be yellowfoot or winter chanterelles?
  8. Hey thanks for replying, been waiting to fire up the stove til someone did. Took a nibble of a cap and no bitterness and tasted like it smells. Was just worried about the greyish-brownish Stipe and pinkish discoloration on some spore tubes on the oldest one, but it was really bug eaten. Edit: that was the most delicious mushroom I've ever eaten, wow.
  9. Hi, I know this is one of the easiest mushrooms to Id but ive never picked any mushrooms before so am a bit paranoid. today I found what seems to be king boletus but I really would like someone with experience to take a look before i go chowing down. I've spent the last 3 hours or so making sure it matches description. Found near Olympic peninsula coast in mixed hemlock/cedar forest. 6-7 in patch. No staining of any kind on stem or cap two hours after cutting. White colored "netting" on Stipe. Oldest specimen had pinkish color around worm holes underside of cap which has me a little worried. Stem greyish while expecting white. White inner flesh. Youngest "bud" specimens almost grey caps in color. The two I kept seem to match pictures pretty well. Smells amazing delicious. Thank you, and apologies for no close-ups of the underside, were chopped up before I found this forum.
