Meat without legs - Mushroom Hunting 2023’

I think it’s a ringless honey mushroom. From what I’m reading on that it doesn’t seem worth it to eat.

A few chanterelles from mixed forest and a lunch pail full of chicken of the woods from a fallen red oak from mid-September in N. WI.

Got into a good patch of Coral mushrooms while deer hunting yesterday.

They were very good mixed in with some scrambled eggs after sautéed, with some Tilamook cheddar on top.

Also got about 3/4 of a grocery bag of chantrels.

I'm a little surprised that no one has talked about puff balls in this thread. If you find them softball sized and young, wash, slice thin and fry in butter they make a terrific burger topper with a slice of Swiss cheese.

Anybody know what these are? Found in Southern California near dead Black Oak trees if that helps.

We've had such a dry summer and fall that we haven't really found anything worth talking about - a couple morels this spring and a couple dinky puffballs this fall. It's raining now, so maybe we'll get some good puffballs coming in soon. We put them on pizza, in scrambled eggs, served with steaks, etc.

Found this on our new property we just bought. I think it’s a coral tooth. I just ate a pan full of it and it was pretty good, so I hope it all works out. If any of you know it’s something I shouldn’t have ate a pan full of and I need to “head that way” please let me know.

I believe it is Hericium.
Please don’t eat mushrooms that you aren’t sure of. Have them identified

 

[MightyWhitey]

Well that’s what I came here for. I just had the order of things a little backwards. But I still feel good so I’m gonna go back and get that big chunk!

Our mushroom spots were fruitless this year. Hopefully things are better next year

Those are awesome. I make them into crab cakes.
