It's been a bit over 2 years since I started to get into mushrooms. Last spring, I went down to NC and took some tests to get a license to sell mushrooms in 7 states. When I go on rides now, I am always looking for mushrooms. That's why my Strava times have been so slow, just incase you were wondering.
So I'll be randomly posting mushroom photos here. I can also entertain ID requests. When posting up photos for ID, it's best to take a photo of the cap and a photo of upskirt. Some mushrooms need more info than that to ID, but baby steps.
Any mushroom is safe to handle. You won't get poisoned just by touching it. Also, picking the mushroom won't affect future growth. It's similar to picking an apple from an apple tree. This has been proven scientifically.
If you are not going to eat and/or trip from it, coordinates might be appreciated depending on if it's a worthwhile edible mushroom.
Some recent finds:
Hericium americanum aka bear's head tooth fungus - choice edible - Ringwood
Galerina marginata aka deadly galerina aka funeral bell aka deadly skullcap - deadly - Bowling Green Mountain
Lycoperdon pyriforme aka pear-shaped puffball - edible - Bowling Green Mountain
Pholiota adiposa group - questionably edible - Allamuchy
Ischnoderma resinosum aka resinous polypore - edible when young - Allamuchy
Let's see what you got!
