I thought for sure the skinny enrolled margin would have been a key identifying trait. Im too not confident in the Leucopaxllus proposal. I don’t recall the gills being easily removed. And it certainly didn’t smell like tar gas or swamp gas. Lol. I’ve very familiar with swamp gas. Also it says that they are leaf litter decomposers. There were in the middle of the lawn growing out the grass in a large cluster. Sorry I never mentioned this before. Cluster of at least 10-15. Not necessarily a fairy ring but spread out a bit. I no longer have access to the specimens. Long gone with the mower. Maybe……. Clitocybe subconnexa??? Then again there was zero leaf litter

Very interesting. Definitely keep us posted

You should be able to see spores from the mature mushrooms in your cluster. If not then acquiring a spore print would settle it.

Looks like it. A picture of the underside would help ID

Very cool. I’ve found many pounds of L. Indigo and never encountered this. I WOULD NOT EAT THESE lol

All is well brother trout. Just busy with family life. Kids are at that age where they require almost all our attention 24/7. Haven’t be out shroomin much. I attempted to bring them once and I received the worst parent award for the amount of bites they received lol. They had fun before the mosquito attacks. We took up crabbing until it cools off Hope all is well on your end

I stared at the white paper with print for minutes to make sure I wasn’t missing the yellow.

Having trouble with this one. Thought it would be pretty simple Maybe Clitocybe or Tricholoma?? Growing on lawn Don’t believe there were any trees ever growing there. White to grayish spores Smells nice. Fresh mushroom odor. Taste mild(small nibble and spit out)

I would say they’re oysters.

Welcome from the Lafayette area

I’d imagine horses and cattle

Welcome!! You’ve come to the right place !! Very knowledgeable folks here. Take a few minutes to read the pinned topics in ID section before posting. May save you the headache of not getting a good proposal from lack of description on proposed specimen. Enjoy your stay !! Lol Very obsessive hobby !!!

Probably get better activity if posted in the identifying section. Maybe if Dave sees this he’ll move it for you.

Welcome aboard!! Many knowledgeable folks here

Welcome aboard!! Plenty of knowledgeable folks here.

I would agree. Chanterelles Nice score. It is recommended sampling a small amount and waiting a few hours Some folks are sensitive to wild mushrooms

Welcome fellow Louisianians!! The only thing that comes to mind around you folks would be Bogue Chitto NWR and Pearl River WMA. I’d imagine both are under water right now due to all the storms we been getting. I would think once the waters recede it would be a hot spot for summer mushrooms. Keep in mind the snakes are abundant there.

Yup still active in Lafayette area. Kids keep me pretty busy nowadays. Get out a few times a year. Not much of public land around here though. Welcome aboard

I would say it’s a WELL past prime Hericium(aka lions mane). I’d leave it be and check back at that location next year but a few weeks earlier Nice find !! Some people go their whole life foraging without ever finding one in the wild.

Thanks gentlemen. First time for these. Didn’t think they grew this far south

I’m thinking more .....Calvatia cyathiformis. What y’all think?

Man that is sick!! I sure all your pieces are one of a kind but this one my friend is pretty snakey!!

I’d love the see the piece if ya don’t mind sharing

I harvest the younger, smaller specimens for the table. The older specimens become slimy and have a strong dirt flavor. I’ve sautéd some smaller ones with onions last year and put on some deer burgers. Really good. Some people dislike the strong earthy flavor of the smaller ones.
