Yes and they're delicious cooked in butter and olive oil. Or a little bacon grease. I think a stronger flavor than morels.

After a bad mushroom season I've bought these the last two weeks at the farmers market at only $5 a quart.

So what did you use to shoot them?

Those are chanterelles, enjoy. Jack-O-Lanterns look similar and will make you sick if you consume them, but they typically grow in groups and always on wood.

On the positive side, research is showing Jack-O-Lanterns as a source of an anti-cancer drug.

The one in the center looks differerent? Am I just being paranoid, or could it be a jack-o-lantern?...

I would toss the one in the center out. Better safe than sorry. The rest all look more like chanterelles.

I only eat what I pick myself and the jack-o-lanterns only grow on wood, but they can grow on wood buried slightly below the soil.

Are the white ones poisonous?

philo identified the oysters and puffballs for me. I ate the oysters and they were good. Puffballs dried out in the fridge, before I could get to them.

Found these growing by my compost bin...



I used Google Lens app to help identify them. You folks ever use this app for mushroom identification?

I just noticed a few of these in my moms yard. Did you get a positive I.D. ?

This is what I come up with...

Leucocoprinus cepistipes - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

...The species is edible, but not very palatable...

There is another one (that I cannot pronounce either,) that is very similar, with similar characteristics.

Leucocoprinus cretaceus - Wikipedia

I found some Chicken of the Woods a couple of weeks ago.
I prefer the Maitake (Hen of the Woods) but don’t expect to start seeing them for a few more weeks.

Please keep us posted. I ended up with a fair batch of chanterelles, after hooky posted a pick of his find a few weeks ago.

I think I still have a half dozen qt jars of dehydrated maitakes from last year.

Will do!
That’s great to still have some on hand! I didn’t have a dehydrator last year so I froze or gave away a lot of what I found. As a result, I ran out rather quickly.
I’m hoping this will be a good season and I’ll definitely manage it better.
