  1. Thank you Dave! Always greatful for your insight.
  2. No problem. Glad to help! Did you take a spore print?
  3. Found these little orange mushrooms in my yard. Anyone have any idea on what they might be?
  4. They look like desarmillaria caespitosa to me. Here are some I found
  5. I took a spore print, and it turned out to be white. Plus there were white spores under the clusters on the leaf litter and on the caps. I just found out that the NA variant of D. tabescens has been moved D. Caespitosa. I think they may split these species up even more in the future. There seems to be very many diffeeent subspecies, this may explain the dark stems. Or maybe environmental factors cause this. When split open the interior is white.
  6. What features point you towards C. Cibarius? They are beautiful aren't they?
  7. Thanks for the cooking tips. I ended up just doing a simple sauté in my skillet with olive oil and a little butter and a wee snort of salt. Ate them all by themselves just to try em'. They turned out a little to slimey. I think you suppose to cook out the water before you add the olive oil. And I think the butter flavor overpowered the taste of the mushroom. It'll turn out better next time. Maybe I'll make a Risotto. Sorry I didn't respond till just now
  8. Found what I believe to be desarmillaria tabescens here in Mississippi in a mixed coniferous hardwood forest. I have been seeing them pop up everywhere so I decided to go on a hunt today. This is the first time I have ever planned on cooking honey mushrooms so I want to be 100% sure they are what I think they are. I noticed white spore prints on the caps of other mushrooms and on the leaf litter underneath them.
  9. Thank's so much for your input Dave. These will be the very first wild mushrooms that I eat, I am very excited!😁 Any advice on how to cook them? I think I will eat them by themselves so that I can really appreciate the flavor.
  10. Thank you vitcog! I found these here in Mississippi. Maybe I have a different variety than lateritius. I now have spore prints. It looks like a pale off white to slight buff color.
  11. I am 99% sure these are chanterlles,I just wanted to make sure before I try and eat them. Most of them have bug holes. They meet all the criteria for chanterlles as far as I can tell. The only thing that I find odd is they don't really have the fruity apricot smell that I read they have. The only smell I notice is a dirt or foresty smell, not a real distinct flavor either. I am waiting on a spore print. The picture of the tree is what I believe it was associated with. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
  12. I want to see a picture of the underside. That would be helpful. Spore print should be white.
  13. Thank you Dave! Really appreciate the additional info and links. I've been seeing these mushroom pop around summertime for a few years now. They are very hardy mushrooms that don't seem to get damaged by intense Mississippi heat or sunlight and have no problem growing out in the open, which seems like an uncommon trait for mushrooms. I've seen them pop up all over my yard but mostly on that old dead stump, sometimes solitary and sometimes in little clusters. The stump gets overgrown with weeds so the maintenance guys come and spray it with weed killer. So I have this large brown spot in the center of my yard. But there is fascinating diversity fungal growth right in that spot. I've found everything from pollypores to puffballs. And I found these large snails like I have never seen anywhere else.
  14. I'm not sure what these are. Just wait and be patient. Someone will answer.
  15. I've been seeing a lot of these around this year.
