Hello! I'm new here and would like to ask some help for identifying what type of morel this is. There are a lot of them grown in my backyard now. Want to be sure if they can be cooked and eaten. Thanks

Location:South-Western Ohio we found the red and yellow ones in this patch of these little clover things in our yard between two maples (theres also a tree line nearby maybe 10 ft) but the white ones we found in clump and clusters by a bunch of dead limbs and tree stumps in a nother tree line, and i was just wondering the species and if they were edible also the red ones have a bluish bruising on them (we think theyre bicolored boletes)

I live on the Olympic Peninsula and I'm looking for someone who would be willing to "train me" in mushroom hunting out of passion and fun. I just started to pursue this interest and I am confident in my ability to identify chantrelles, but that's about it. I did find a large cauliflower mushroom, which I feel pretty confident with as well, and I'm pretty sure I found a clump of oysters, but I feel less confident about this. I would really like to get out in the forest with someone who knows what they're doing and would like to point out mushrooms, tell me what they are, and show me how to tell. Let me know if you live on the Olympic Peninsula and are interested in teaching me, Ruby -

Sorry for the low quality pics. Any way, I'm new to mycology and don't know much about mushhrooms. I went picking yesterday in several rural fields, and finally a cow pasture that I came across. I found an abundance of these mushrooms. I live in the in a gulf coast state in the US They have white to yellowish white caps, long slender stems and grey to brownish grey gills. I pinched them and all bruised a dark blue color. As I said I am new to mycology and know very little about shrooms. My question is, what species mushrooms and are they edible? Also, black spore prints.

Hi all. I've been lurking around the forum for a couple of years hoping to learn what some mushrooms are that grow in my yard around my maple trees every fall. I've finally remembered to take some pictures to post. I understand that mushrooms can't be precisely identified in this manner, but I'd be happy if some of you could give educated guesses. As I said, the mushrooms appear almost overnight in late summer or early fall. The quickly grow and then rot, becoming infested with maggots. They then turn into a black slimy goo. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hello everyone, First off, I just want to say this is my first post and I'm happy to of found this community. I recently moved from Tampa to Seattle and became interested in identifying and learning about mushrooms (and fungi in general) as I see so many varieties when I go hiking on the weekends. So, here is my favorite (aesthetic-wise) find of the week, and another of the same cluster, . It was growing on a dead log, I think of a Douglas fir (most popular in the area) but can't be sure. The gills (lamellae?) are white to cream colored. So far I haven't been successful in getting them to leave a print. Stipe = 25mm in length, 3-4 in width, and interior of stipe is hollow. Pillus = radially fibrous, 20mm in diameter and 15mm in height. Any ideas would be great. I'm saving up for a field guide so I can be more 'independent' and ask more specific questions. Thanks! p.s. Here's a fun find I had while running in a nearby park, growing right next to a series of birch trees,

So am a young person that sometimes go to walk to the forest. It happened that with my husband we just bought a house in front of a big forest where I can scape and breath great air. I love to take pictures so one day walking with the camera I decided to take some mushs and start to learn about it. I have intentions of buy books and stuff but I need your help to identify this cute little mushs I took from my last walking around. Name of them, some information it will be very wellcome! Thanks a lot. By the way we live near to Quebec city, specifically around 40 minutes to the north of the center.
