Appears to be amanita type mushroom - these can contain lethal toxins. Do not eat.

I think I have it narrowed down to two: Yellow Bolete - Hemileccinum Subglabripes or Yellow cracked Bolete - Boletus Subtomentosus Both appear similiar and both appear safe to eat with proper cooking. These were growing around birch / aspen trees alongside Birch Boletes (Scabbers)... Think I am getting close to an ID ...

Any initial thoughts on these ?

Found alot of these yesterday, can't find much of a match in my field books. No dots / scabers on stem. The flesh remained white when cut with minimal discoloration... Pores white when young, yellow/greenish when older, bruise to a blue/green

Cortinarius ok interesting with the cortina. Thanks!

Not sure what these ones are, but I found a big patch of them this weekend. Spore print was brown (rusty brown from what I could tell). Didn't find any matches in my field guidebooks yet... Thanks

Thanks Dave, didn't realize detached and free had different meanings. This one did have a pleasant mushroomy odor, bugs got into most of them them but I was able to fry up a few that weren't to bad, quite tasty!

Thank you! this location is free of chemicals / pesticides / herbicides. I will check for any yellow staining and the smell.

Think I have positively Idenitifed the common "meadow Mushroom" - Agaricus Campestris Found growing in a lawn area, scattered. Pink detached crowded gilles, Spore print was brown, Think I'm going to fry one up, apparently these are "choice Edibles" Just want to run this by the forum as its a new mushroom for me.

Thanks!

I think I may have found Reishi but don't have alot of experience with it. Found it growing on what I believe to be a dead hemlock tree. Bottom is white. What else should I be looking for to confirm reishi? It appears to almost have a bit of a stipe/stalk out the side is this normal? Thanks!

My guess is pleurotus populinus, looks like its growing on a dead aspen / poplar tree?

Thanks for all the great information! I found a lot of these right at the camp I was staying at and which I go to often. If there are a King Bolete species (which it sounds like they are) I may fry some up and finally try this talked about mushroom!

Thanks for the input. The blue staining I observed on a few of these was found at the top just under the cap skin when cut.

Was out yesterday found alot of thes... growing directly from the ground amongst white pines red pines and possible some hemlock and a bunch of other pines.. Growing alone and sometimes two growing together. It has the king bolete thick stem, white rim around cap, netting on stem, etc.. However, Im leaning towards Huronesis due to the fact the stem netting is very minimal and when cut in half there is almost immediate blue staining seen most at the top of the cap area. Didn't see much of any "tide mark" typical of the huronensis ? Thoughts? (sorry some pics are sideways I tried fixing this but no luck). Any other tricks to tell these apart? Is it possible to have both kings and huronensis growing together?
