Any chance you grabbed an underside pic? IDs from the top are like IDing like the back of someone’s head might be a chanterelle which would be great for you! What state?

Mushrooms are like 1 night stands... you don't eat em.

Lions Maine is clinically proven to increase brain functions, all though I’ve never been able to harvest any & it shows!

Geographical center of kentucky.

I’m pretty sure you’re working with a chanterelle there! Seems like a subspecies so we should find an inquiring mind from your geographical region to confirm. Are you close enough to cut them open??? They should be white and solid inside

Color seems to carry through… I thought they are chanterelles… but now not so sure… I thought the fins vs. gills where a good thing though

Too early for chanterelles here, but my pink oyster patch was in full flush today. Harvested about 2.5 lbs!

Those look delicious!!! In your area, do you just find pinks or golden/others? Curious because my neck of the woods has various white/gray but 99% golden

I actually grew these in an outdoor straw bed! Super easy to do and is a great way to get by until the next mushroom season.

I have never seen the pinks in the wild, mainly the white/grey variety here in SW Va.

Cauliflower mushroom I found this past weekend. My first one. It was delicious!

Think hen of the woods. If so some of the best eating mushrooms there are. Gotta get a positive id on them. I use an app and ask local old dudes who have been in the mushroom game longer then I’ve been alive.

Thanks. Its seems like thats what they might be after looking that up. I was going to mention they were found at the base of an old dead oak tree and thats one of the first things the description said.

I use an app called picture mushroom that seems to be super accurate, it’s like 25 bucks a year but worth it.

Not Hen of the Woods! Berkeley’s Polypore. Look it up and you’ll see a closer match! Good thing is, still edible! Now for this one I don’t have first hand experience. It’s supposed to be good while young, which this one appears to be. Let us know how a small taste test turns out!!! For all new species, start buy trying a small portion, couple bites cooked. Then go about your life for a few hours to see if you have a particular easily upset stomach for this mushroom, then you can size up!

Not even meat without legs. Couldn’t be worse mushroom conditions in SE Minnesota from drought but the low-hanging fruit will have to suffice

Not a bad second choice though!

Found some chicken of the woods today in Northern Minnesota.
