Hi, It certainly is turning out to be a good fall for mushrooms. I found several Grifola and they are very versatil in terms of cooking and very good tasting....
Hello Patrick, When sand gets through a mushroom, it is probably best just to leave it in the woods. It can be almost impossiable to clean it. And the way...
I went out a few days ago, and though I did find stuff, they weren't poppin like I hoped they'd be. Of course if nothing else is out, you can always find...
I was out today and found copious amounts of Coprinus comatus in a very nice young stage (no deliquescence). However, the find of the day was a 10" wide...

Yes, the Abortive Entolomas are edible and are very good (kind of nutty in flavor), assuming that they're firm and fresh. If they're squishy or crumbly,...
I guess I just haven't been looking in the right places. The E. abortivum are one of my favorites. Jim's right about not bothering with the mushy ones. They...
From your photo of edulis or separans, these appear to be Xanthoconium separans, which is indicated by the purplish tones in the cap and stipe. As they age,...
Thanks Jim!! We have been eating them for several years, and they do taste like B.edulis. They were similar enough with the white reticulations on the stipe...

... I found this little bolete today under a very old white pine. I am pretty sure this is an edulis, right? Liz ... do taste like B.edulis. They were similar...
From your photos, it LOOKS like an edulis, though we don't usually find B. edulis in NJ under white pine (are there Norway spuces or hemlocks in the immediate...
... Your advise makes a lot of sense and it has already made a lot easier to let go of some Hen of the woods I would had liked to have, but didn't want to...
I never have seen a thing like this before. I'm pretty sure it is a puff-ball going wacko. There is another puff-ball nearby and today, a week later, I...
A friend found some Rozites caperata a few days ago under hemlocks in Rockland County. We found a large amount of very large aborted Entolomas 3 weeks ago in...
Yep, looks like that's what you have. With the lack of moisture, and the hungry critters looking for anything with water in it (some causing growth to go...
Yes, the 3 photos do look like giant puffballs (Calvatia gigantea). When they are completely white inside they are an excellent edible. Several weeks ago we...
While taking my walk around the neighborhood I found this beautiful guy around 10 feet up on a maple at the base of a cut out branch. Is this an hericium? Any...
Close enough...the name we use more frequently now is Hericium americanum. It looks like it, though it would be nice if you could get up on that ladder you...

On my way to work yesterday I spotted a very large mushroom growing off of a tree. It has gills The stem was central to the cap. The stem is 1" near the top...
They were growing in a clump next to an Oak tree. Gills are black/black with a tint of purple. Nice transparent veil on the gills. Stipe is long and hollow....
