I’ve not eaten any Hericium, but all I’ve read and heard is that is delicious and medicinal. Would love to find some. I’ll probably be hunting hens some more this week since it’s going to be pretty warm again.

Last Friday while mowing the yard, I discovered quite few different verities of mushrooms in the area, including a couple of big puffballs that I didn’t get any photographs of, however most of the others I did. According to the wife, whom is a part of a 'Mushroom FB group', these larger mushrooms displayed just below potentially contain psychoactive alkaloids; suggesting that some may cause hallucinations if ingested/eaten, however if properly prepared, they are eatable with virtually no ill effects and considered tasty. I included additional information with the two attached articles below.



(Two additional photographs of the same mushroom species are attached to this post below.)

I’ve never saw them before ever in our yard and they have been popping out of the ground lately underneath our several big Norway Pine Trees. Supposedly, the smaller ones that haven’t opened yet are best, or the preferred, to produce the acquired taste and/or effect, according to some research.

The following collage photograph is of various other mushroom species that I also found throughout the yard. Not sure what any of them are or if they too are eatable. Haven’t gotten around to research those at all, but I wanted to include them within this post as well for the curios at heart.

Anyways, I thought I’d contribute to this thread of my most recent mushroom discoveries within my yard over the past few days. We seem to be getting quite a few different kinds this year for whatever reason. I have no real intentions of eating any of them, but thought of this thread when I discovered them.

Any additional information, suggestions and/or recommendations from any of 'TOO' shroom experts about these mushrooms would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Don't eat the amanitas. Most of the others look over the hill old.

Seeing lots of stuff out there. Picked Ishnoderma(resinous polypore, steak of the woos) hericium, dark & white oysters, pear shaped puffballs & some type of agaricus. Plus all kinds of stuff I didn't want.

yes the first one is amanita muscaria var formosa, its contains psychoactive chemicals in the form of muscimol, muscarine, and ibotenic acid. though not really psychedelic like psilocybin ( the psychoactive compound in "magic mushrooms") rather it is described by some as a slight drunk feeling but can cause nausea. for edibility of the mushroom it is possible to eat without effects if boiled twice, discarding the water both times, since all the psychoactive compounds are water soluble (dont know if i would be that adventures though) . then for the various other mushrooms only one i can really identify is the red one is known as russula, probably russula rosea or russula emitic which is a NO go on the edibility, actually russula emitica's nick name is "the sickener" which is pretty bad ass sounding if you ask me.

Passed over thess earlier this afternoon. IDK what they are, but they looked very fresh.

And just noticed these in a tree right next to me. The upper gold ones appear to look fresher than the white ones underneath them. Again, I have no idea what they are. Just thought someone here might know.
