Dhuntington

Going by the underside i would say its northern tooth

Doesnt look like chicken of the woods. If it is, its an old one.

Looks like bears head( Hericium Coralloides). Lions mane is more compact.

Found these at shades state park and havent been able to id them. If anyone knows what they are please let me know

Some people do with honey mushroom. Most dont but that how alot of mushrooms seem to be. Friend of mine cant eat half free morels but can eat yellows and blacks.

Looks like ringless honey mushroom. 

The ones that look like regular mushrooms are not. The deformed ones that look like odd puffballs might be

Thank you very much

Found these the other day and havent been able to id them any help would be appreciated

If you are new to mushroom foraging i would suggest a couple good books in identification. Ones i suggest in Edible wild mushrooms of illinois and surrounding states by m. Mueller and joe mcfarland and mushrooms of the midwest michael kuo and andy methven.

The orange ones do appear to be chanterelles. The others are some kind of bolete possibly lilac bolete but i am not possitve on this.

Good hiking shoes, bug spray, water,  and be ready to do alot of walking. Also if you plan on harvesting any mushrooms a mesh bag or basket. Camera and maybe a note book. Check the weather report and may bring rain gear if they call for any. I am sure there is something i am forgeting, so if anyone has any other ideas please post them.

I think the classes for this year are done but i am not sure. Might have to wait till next year. 

Dont blame you on that, i think i might stay at waveland or at turkey run would like to both this year and i am alittle over an hour from turkey run. As for being a member i am not sure

Never tried them that way but i will with the next batch i get. 

Very nice

Found a nice batch yesterday.

Is anyone attending the shade foray. I am going wether they open the registration form or not.

Happy to help 

Maybe hortiboletus campestris

Not positive but it looks like bi-color bolete

That i have not. I am thinking about doing them the same way i do chantys. Saute them then freeze but havent tried it yet.

Found this tasty fellow over the weekend. Made for a good meal.

Look like young smooth chantys.

Not positive but they look more like young chanterells. Do you have any pics of where they were growing. If not can you describe where they were growing
