Mushroom hunting

Those bolete things look down right poisonous! Never had them but not sure I could trust them from the pic I saw

Great little stroll through the woods tonight. First time really getting into boletes. I found some with a friend the other day and he cooked them up and fed them to me, they were really delicious so I found some of my own.

I ate the chickens for dinner tonight, been awhile since I had them fresh.

Good looking for chanterelles, found one or two old ones, but didn't spot any others even in the area I found a bunch of them last year.

These got me excited for a minute, thought they were chantrelles, but I think they are possibly false chanterelles?

Anyone seen this type before?

This was another one that got me excited as I thought it was chicken at First Sight, and then when I looked I thought it was Hen of the Woods but it's too early for that I think. Pretty sure it is a black staining polypore which I hear is edible but not tasty and super tough.

In the first pic, the top row of boletes seem to be Boletus Edulis(porchini) although if the flesh is yellowish rather than white and stains blue when cut, you may actually have Boletus Huronesis which can cause gastric distress when consumed.
The bottom 2 rows look even more suspect. Be careful.

From the first pic it looked like oysters because of the gills heading down the stem but then seeing the size and where they are growing that ended that thought...crazy how EVERY aspect (color, growing area, size, gills) must match the edible one. If something seems off, I don’t bother risking it

Only took a bunch of raspberries and a handful of the coral shrooms (cuz they are cool!)

Really like the coral mushrooms. Not sure what the white asparagus looking things are. I see them all the time.

They do look like summer oysters but they weren't growing in wood so I don't believe it can be that.

They're indian pipes

Thanks for the info. None of these stained blue (except for the two colored boletes) which I believe happens when you bruise or cut a hurenesis. The caps we're not yellow either. I cut them all in half and waited an hour and they were as white as when I cut them so I believe I am ok.

Also, reporting back on the dryads saddle. Dried them a few months ago and rehydrated them and cooked them with some onion and eggs and butter last week.

Not a ton of taste but nice texture. Glad I picked them.

Found this guy in the middle of a lawn. Kind of looks like the black staining polypore again, but a little different.

Saw a million of those while hiking Ithaca last weekend

[blackradio]

Had a nice morning out. Never found black trumpets before but I believe these are them.

Not sure what the orange ones are but they resemble small chanterelles. Have to do some research.

Sweet find!
Those chanterelle looking ones look to me like Craterellus Ignicolors.

Cantharellus(chanterelles) are grouped differently than Craterellus.
The black trumpets you found are Craterellus cornucopioides

You're a wealth of knowledge Predate, thank you.

[PREDATE]

Any time man
Did you get a chance to try any of todays find?

Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

[blackradio]

I didn't, going to eat the black trumpets tomorrow. Been trying to find these things for years and have never seen them. Need to look up a good recipe and make something with it. I'll probably eat the small chanterelles tomorrow 2 and freeze the coral

Trumpets are tough to spot sometimes unless you're looking for them. Look for mossy areas. I usually do best along drainage ditches in wooded hillsides or along logging roads. It seems that spores get into surface water and get washed down the hill. Just like with chants, when you find some then also look uphill and downhill from there. The spores had to come from somewhere.

Friend found these today.  Predate , what we got ? Edible ? 

[First-light]

I have no experience but just have to say all I saw was mushrooms this weekend everywhere in the woods. Some were so cool looking I should of taken a picture.

Looks like crown tipped coral although I'm not certain. I've never tried it, but it's supposedly yummy

Looks like crown tipped coral which are very tasty but I've read that there are toxic look-a-likes. Do some research before eating. You must look closely at the tips.

I did eat the nontoxic variety (hence I’m still typing) of the coral and liked them. Made chicken stock and threw the mushrooms in the boiled broth and once they cool down, enjoy. Fun to add as a garnish to a fish dish- I ate mine with venison steak.
