Bicolor and king boletes.    Porcini mushrooms.    I wait all year for these flushes.

Been seeing these in the yard for a month.   Pretty sure these are king boletes but nobody will eat them unless a certified opinion is obtained so they just rot.

A rainy July and the Pennsylvania woods are loaded with chanterelles.  I found six different patches just driving the back roads around my parents' house.

Do you pick every mushroom, or leave some to reproduce for next season?

The mushroom that you see is just the fruiting body.  So I cut them rather than ripping them out, so as to not disturb the mycelium.  Chanterelles are one species that will pop up in the same spots every year when the conditions are right.

 

In this case, I was a few days late.  So only maybe 10% of what I found was still worth taking. 

Fish the edges.

Cool, thanks for the explanation

I know nothing about mushrooms.  These are 8-10 feet up on a large  live beech tree. Mushroom is about 18 inches by a foot.  There are two smaller clusters of the same up a little higher you can see in the first picture.  Is this chicken of the woods?

That shape and texture looks right, buy I've never seen them white like that.  Usually they are orange fading to an electric yellowish.

 

I found a bag of chanterelles the other day.  That's some good eats.

Thanks.  I was curious but not curious enough to eat it, even if someone on the internet confirms it’s identity.

 

its on a tree in a cemetery, which I took as an omen. :rav:

Yeah, I know what it looks like and do eat it, and I wouldn't try that. 

 

I had a long night by myself in our hunting cabin with too much Jim Beam, 3 mushroom books and a bunch or Coral Mushroom that 2 out of 3 books mostly looked like it was the "safe" kind to eat.    I still can't believe I survived my early 20's.

I'm a chicken when it comes to mushrooms.  I was hunting in washington state one day and the gravel roads I was on were full of morels.  A guy I met was picking them and filling his hat.  I took a pass, even though they looked great.

One of the many types.  Don't ask me if that's the good one or the one that makes your stomach turn itself inside out and makes your head start throbbing.

Didn’t tempt me.   The king and bicolor boletes do.  Also have an amanita that I think will really have you tripping after the puking.  Even found one morel.

I'm no expert, but I remember seeing a film on harvesting them. They where found on oak, not on white birch...:wag:, and although similar in appearance not really. So I looked it up and this is what I found.

 

  Laetiporus cincinnatus (right) - Also found in Eastern North America, although this species is often more reddish. Laetiporus conifericola - A yellowish species found in Western North America that often fruits on conifers. Laetiporus gilbertsonii - The West Coast version that's found on oaks and eucalyptus trees.
