Howdy All,
I've been mushroom hunting a lot this year. Here's a thread dedicated to what I've found so far.
-
Barrow's bolete
Incredibly tasty!
(Boletus barrowsii)
-
Lobster Mushrooms
(Hypomyces lactifluorum)
This is a parasitic fungus that grows on other mushrooms, primarily Lactarious sp. and Russula sp. It renders them edible and delicious.
Very firm texture, similar to dried tofu. Tastes like seafood. Lobster is a very suiting name because of the color and taste.
-
Shaggy Manes
(Coprinus comatus)
mmmmmmm good, gotta get these before they go inky.
-
Oyster Mushrooms
Pleurotus spp. (most likely Pleurotus populinus as they were found on an Aspen stump)
-
Good post! It's not that season here yet. I wanna nom those fungi.
-
Queen Bolete
(Boletus aereus)
-
Aspen Bolete
not a true bolete, rather a Leccium. Be careful with these, there are some look-a-likes that'll make you sick.
(Leccinum insigne)

Another Barrow's Bolete
(Boletes barrowsii)
-
Amanita muscaria
not edible ;)

not edible ;)
I call wrong, and I am not messing with the rules. There is traditional ways of preparing them, at least around here, that takes "poisonous" psychoactive and "sick-all-over-the-place" properties from Amanitas and turns them in a tasty dish resembling champinongs.
The basic idea is: Most of the nasties are water soluble and concentrated in the top skin. With that knowledge its easy to come up with ways of preparation, otherwise theres is many recipes mainly from the area around Hamburg where they also make Amanita beer.
:)
(And depending on the definition of "edible" its edible either way as there is no way it could be deadly, you'd need stupid amounts and would probably end up trying to make vomitting and eating happen at the same time and with progressing intoxiation youd probably forget what you are doing or why you are doing it anyways. So even in highly theoretical scenarios its rather self limiting, not deadly.) :D Nice harvests all thread long !

^ I agree.
-
They are all very nice - the muskies are my favorite "non-edible"
-
I saw all those pics, and I immediately thought of a frying pan and butter ;D ;D ;D ;D

Indeed, hence the ";)" David Arora is currently writing a new definition of "edible" and going through various species that can be boiled to become edible.

Finally! I've been waiting for a revised edition of mushrooms demystified for years. He's getting up in years but still knows his fungi!
