scored some nice chickens today, and I wasn't even really looking.

Only thing I know about mushrooms is they’re good on pizza and cheese steak so I have no idea what these are. Thought they looked cool so I took a pic

Dammit. That’s what I was afraid ofnice ones, too. those are delicious, btw Isaac.
lol. I’ll have to wait til next weekend to check on emAnyone know about boletes? I keep finding what I am sure is a bolete of some type. But from all my reading I am not 100% sure how to tell if they are edible.
There is a YouTube video showing that if they stain blue when you cut them, they should be avoided. These don’t stain blue but is that enough to say they are safe?

I also found these. I think they are purple laccaria. If that is the case they are edible.
I need a mushroom expert to walk my property with me. There is a lot of unknown fungus on my place.
Edible and palatable would be my next question. Never heard of those. Lol

If boletes don't bruise blue you can try a small piece to see if it is bitter or peppery. Chew it up & spit it out & wait a few minutes. If it is not bitter they should be ok. The other could be laccaria but could also be a cortinarious. Spore print is the only way to tell for sure. Spore print should be white. A cort would be rusty brown.
Good to know. I think knowing the look alike possibilities is one of the hardest parts of shrooming
