FlickYew707 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I found these on a chanterelle hunt I thought they may be hedgehogs but not sure. They are very meat and delicious looking and smelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I can't tell form the photos whether or not the underside is composed of spines (tooth-like projections). What is the location? Wikipedia indicates at least 13 locations called Humboldt in North America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlickYew707 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 They are more smooth than toothed or spinney. Humboldt county California. Found these in mostly spruce forest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Sheeps polypore? I take that back.... too thin in th cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I think you're on the right track, diana. Looks like one of the terrestrial "stalked Polypores". Maybe a species from genus Albatrellus ("Sheep Polypore" is Albatrellus ovinus). Maybe Polyporus tuberaster or some other species of Polyporus.

FlickYew707 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Awesome thanks for the help. I'm not going to eat them though I found a bunch more and am pretty sure you're right about the ID. I will just have to settle for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 The mushroom seen in the latest photo (selfie) looks like a type of classic Yellow Chanterelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Oh okay. So you know that's a chant... duh! I have heard that at least one species of large classic California chanterelle is actually not a very good edible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
