It says "Zoomie was last seen: May 25, 2017"

@Zoomie last posted in this thread on May 1, 2017 which was Zoomie's last post.

I noticed that when I do the "@" thing, Zoomie never comes up as an option.

I used to eat very few wild mushroom species that I knew very well, but here in Alabama I don't know any of them and I leave them be. I wonder if there is a book available on the wild mushrooms of Alabama, with plenty of pictures and descriptions. I am sure that many of the mushrooms I see around here are edible, but I need to make sure. Nothing is more foolish (after doing drugs) than dying for having eaten a poisonous wild mushroom.

There are a lot of books that are countrywide and will help you identify your shrooms..

I know it is not Alabama but it is darn close.

Definitely coral. We have a log just inside the wood line that grows them. We LOVE to see them growing. Absolutely fantastic cooked on eggs They're rather spicy raw though lol

Are the bottom ones over ripe?

I don't think so. We eat them when they're white and yellowish. When they stay turning brown, then I wouldn't eat them. You could taste a little bit and see what you think.
