Anyone ID this mushroom 🍄

[DJBrad]

Does it turn the the rest of the dish food blackish ? Guy on YouTube mentioned it

It does a bit. So if you’re cooking something light colored it may impart it’s color. I have not cooked with it enough to notice a palpable change.

 

[DJBrad]

Major win today. My three favorites and a bonus. Chanterelles, a putload of black trumpets, a green cracking russula, and sustainably harvested chaga that had fallen from a yellow birch tree.

Quick walk about while picking up my mail...

This is growing in my lawn right now. Had it last year as well. No, I'm not looking to eat it given is location, but curious what it is. It's about 1 foot across.

I envy you guys who can identify mushrooms. I'm too chicken even to try to learn. A friend's friend, supposedly a mushroom expert, picked and ate some mushrooms, and almost died, and is living with permanent liver damage...

That victim is definitely not an expert then. Sad story.

Meripilus sumstinei - Black-Staining Polypore

It’s feeding on the roots of a host tree nearby. Is there one nearby? This polypore is edible but not choice. It’s looks a little old at this point. To prove the id cut a piece off and within as little as 2 mins to as long as 30 mins it will bruise black.

Thanks. There are oak and pine, each about 20 feet away. There is also potential wood buried based on past experience and the small depression where it is growing. I remember it turning black after mowing it last year. I'll try to do a more scientific test this year.

Saw this on Netflix recently. Was pretty interesting.

A few finds yesterday

 

[MFSP101]

Picked this up on my way home from work. Am I looking at chicken of the woods? The pictures I saw say yes. But woul like a little confirmation.

 

[MFSP101]

A couple more picture. 32oz Gatorade for size comparison. And the bottom.

 

[DJBrad]

I’ve been vacuum packing my chicken of the woods and freezing them as I’ve harvested them so far. It’ll be a test on whether they hold up with a thaw and cook in a few months.

Found this Yellow Fly Agaric today. Beautiful specimen.

Amanita muscaria var. guessowii

Same same: Recent DNA evidence has shown Amanita muscaria var. formosa to be a distinct species from Amanita muscaria and it will be getting its own species status soon.[citation needed] Amanita muscaria var. formosahas been described as Amanita muscaria var. guessowii.[4]

Deadly Galerina which contains amatoxins like Amanitas. Do not eat.
