Nice. I’m down in the Loreauville area
Must be careful. Hunting season is in full swing if you’re foraging public land

Welcome from south Louisiana as well.
many knowledgeable folks here. Plenty of oysters to be had at this time of the year. Keep an eye out for chicken of the woods and lions mane as well. I tend to find them all on oaks this time of the yearI’m not familiar with any other groups in the gulf region other than Gulf States Mycology group. I believe they have a Facebook page that is active. I don’t do Facebook so not 100% on that.

You will have better luck posting in the identifying section. Also add some information about its surroundings. Was it growing in the soil. Was it growing from a tree. If so what type of tree.
-
Lol very interesting to say the least. I was pretty amazed the first time I’ve taken the nibble and spit test.
-
-
We’ll need more info and pictures to make a better proposal
-
A spore sprint and a close up where the stipe meets the gills would help us narrow in down.
That brown staining is not something I’m familiar with among any Agaricus campetris
-
I’d say one of the many white milk caps. Lactarius sp
Note the concentric circular patterns on the top of the cap.
I bet if you take a small nibble and spit ,it’ll be fairly peppery. I don’t collect these for consumption but I’ve read somewhere that they dehydrate these ( I believe it was India ) and use as a peppery spice. -
Welcome aboard!! Very friendly and knowledgeable folks here. Really cool website you have there.
Been in a major drought here in South Louisiana. Usually this time of the year I’m filling bags with wild edibles. Pretty big bummer l
-
I agree. Dryads
Thats a hard pass on harvesting these. Definitely past prime. I’ve heard it’s like chewing leather at that stage
-
I looked into it years ago but at the time they were dormant. Besides,family life keeps me pretty busy these days. I can’t do much traveling these days. I enjoy teaching my kiddos about the outdoors and foraging though.
I don’t do Facebook but I believe they’re active again.

Welcome from south Louisiana
I purchased this a few years ago and it has been very helpful. Highly recommended from a novice mushroom enthusiast such as myself

Welcome aboard from South Louisiana!! Great folks here. Very knowledgeable also. Feel free to post your finds.
-
I would say it looks like the oysters I find in Louisiana this time of the year
-
Welcome aboard from St. Martin Parish Peanut. Looks like you have some prime specimens there. Nice find.
-
WOOOOW !!! Awesome find !!
-
Wow! Very cool find !!
-
I would agree as long as there aren’t any yellow staining and the presence of a chemical smell is absent.
Also, make sure that pesticides and other poisons are not present.
Agaricus tend to absorb chemicals found in soilsChoice finds !!!
-
I’d say with certainty it is NOT a chanterelles
I would suggest looking into lactarious or russala
Press with finger on gills to see if it extrudes white latex substance.
Or snapping the stalk to see if it snaps like chalk. Russalas tend to have this characteristic.
-
That is spectacular!! Thanks for sharing!!
-
Welcome aboard!! Very friendly and knowledgeable folks here
-
Another key identification trait would be that the material inside is white. Looks like chanterelles to me
-
This may be what you have

Welcome from Iberia Parish
I just signed the family up as members of www.gsmyco.org. We’re looking forward to this year’s upcoming forays.
I believe they also have a Facebook page
