Mushroom foragers

[Bogtown Chick]

a friend called. She had one last year. And just in the last couple days this beauty popped up. It’s my first one. It’s a lot of mushroom meat! I’m a bit overwhelmed.

I believe these are plueteus petasatus . Had it ID a year or so ago . Can not find anyone online that has eaten one . Keep coming up where the sawmill was . At the lake and here at home . Seems easy to grow . Wish me luck . Going to try it .

did a little walk around here at work... I believe I found some shrimps.
Then was excited about this bolete until it started inking this beautiful indigo color. Shucks.

We have Lactarius indigo here. They are such a beautiful blue!

. Nice find . They come back every year on the same stump . You can seed new stumps with pieces of this one . That is how I got mine started . Seeded some oak stumps at the lake with frozen bits . Oak only .

Do you know what any of those are and if they are edible?

that periscope looking one is cool.

Some of them I'm not 100% sure of. I only eat morels. And a handful of others. Pretty sure the coral looking one is edible. Same for the indigo milk cap. The periscope one is a Monotropa uniflora, or aka a Indian pipe or ghost plant. Cool looking no the less!

The indigo milk cap is on my bucket list!

pluteus petasatus was the ID . Grows in hardwood sawdust where my sawmill has been used . Both in IL and MN . So I got brave enough to eat some at breakfast today . So far so good .

Jerry are you still with us...? You’re braver than I am eating a brown mushroom
