Just north of Houston TX. My identification app suggests it is armillaria tabescens but I really don't know. I would be thrilled if these were edible! Thank you for any feedback.

Went on a hike today and found more red chanterelle mushrooms than I could carry. Also a few golden ones and then what I suppose are smooth chanterelles which I never heard of. Is the best way to store them in a paper sack in the fridge? Can't cook them for a couple of days.

Found in northern virginia. 60° during the day and 40° at night. Area of trees recently cleared and these are growing from the ground. Sulfer tuft?
-
These have been growing on logs (not sure what type of tree) for months in 90°-100° days with plenty of rain in north Florida. Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Pleurotus pulmonarius? I'm pretty confused as how to tell the difference.

Yes it was growing on a piece of old dead wood. Think you nailed it Whisperer thank you!

Are these meadow mushrooms? They are popping up everywhere here in the backyard in Virginia and I would very much like to cook some up if they are any good.

Thanks for the feedback. Went out today and not much has changed. A couple had doubled in size because I assume the tiny valley they live in gets more water drainage, but the others had maybe a 0% increase in size, while others appeared to be dying. I'll wait another month before returning.

Seen several of these but never picked them until today. I've never had eaten a wild oyster mushroom so hoping this is one but I don't have the knowledge to positively identify. Didn't find anything online about a poisonous look alike, but I am very hesitant to eat something I'm not 100% on. Thanks!

I found a nice little patch of about 30 (at least I think/hope they're Chanterelle ) popping up out of some moss on the edge of a creek in the Florida panhandle. They are quite small - some as small as the tip of a pencil. This spot had a good 3-4" of rainfall over the period of about a week and this picture was taken a day after the last rainfall. I re-visited the same spot 2 days later and there was not a noticeable difference in size. Daytime temp over the next 2 weeks will be in the high 80's with a chance of rain almost daily. Online searching on this topic returns answers ranging anywhere from 2-3 days after rainfall to up to 90 days before they are ready to harvest. Clearly I will find out myself by watching these grow, but I was hoping you guys might be able to set my expectations. Thank you!

Just found your post. I would very much like to hunt for chanterelles. I've been many times in the past month but only had luck once. I'm ready to go when you are.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply I just sliced a small piece off and chewed it raw. It tasted like a normal raw mushroom while chewing, but after spitting it out the aftertaste is slightly bitter. I wonder if sauteing with garlic and butter would help? Maybe I should stick to chanterelles for now. Easy to identify and a pleasure to eat. Thank you again, SVS, for the quick reply. Hopefully I will be able to contribute helpful knowledge in the future.

Found these today on a hike. I would love to eat them but they're not as easy to identify as the chanterelle. Any input from the experts on here would be much appreciated. I cut them in half about 20 minutes ago and they're still white inside. Smells pretty much like a cut button or portabella ( yes I am a complete newbie.) Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm totally new to mushroom hunting. First time ever out two weeks ago found a patch of chanterelles within 5 minutes. It was an amazing introduction both to find and eat. Odd thing is I've found no more chanterelles since that day - I understand the season is just getting started and I can't wait to look for more. Anyway, thanks for creating this forum as I'm sure it will be helpful!a
