Todays edible mushroom hunt - lots of photos!

Had a good hunt today around my usual spots. Decent variety of edibles to be had out there. I got a new camera for my birthday as well, so it was a good chance to try it out a bit. Just a digital cheapo - but far better than my old one. Hope you enjoy the pics! 
Trametes versicolor - Turkey Tail

Bolbitius vitellinus - very large mature one.

Phyllotopsis nidulans

Amanita ocreata - Destroying Angel
  
Amanita novinupta - Western Blusher
 
Amanita velosa - Spring Amanita
  
Amanita calyptrata - Spring Coccora
 
Cantharellus californicus - Chanterelle
   
Hygrocybe punicea
  
Camarophyllus pratensis
  
Coprinopsis lagopus

Ganoderma applanatum

Russula cyanoxantha - forgot a habitat shot

And the results? 
 

Thanks for looking!

Nice score, Lhun. How do the Amanitas taste? How do you like to cook them?

The Grisettes (constricta) taste a bit like almonds. The velosa is sweet and delicious - my favorite for sure. The Blusher (novinupta) tastes a bit like both of the above combined - sweet and nutty. The Coccora will be a new flavor for me. I have several nice fresh ones, so Ill update after I have consumed some. I have found them in the past, but only felt comfortable collecting them for the table recently. Alan was up this way not so long ago, he confirmed the identification. So its time to trust my judgment and enjoy a few!
I usually just saute the Amanitas with salt and butter. They have such good flavor on their own that I try to not overwhelm it too much. Thanks for the comments folks.

You should see the various ways I have to strap/bundle/tie all those mushrooms on my person to get them back down the mountain in one piece! Its become a game of "how many can safely carry" and "how can I carry more"? Sometimes I come down looking like a bunch of grapes - bags and bundles hanging everywhere.

Since I usually have so many to eat, I want the majority of them to last many days on that table. Broken mushrooms don't last long...

One of my favorite for sure. Very sweet and mild. I wish I not only found more, but that I found more before the bugs do...
Thanks everyone!

Thanks Lhun, I've seen C. pratensis once, it looked tasty, didn't try it, but will be looking for it again.
