You should have most of the common edible mushrooms.
Start with easy to identify species such as Oyster Mushrooms, which can be found growing on logs and stumps up until it freezes.
Here's a short list of easy to identify edibles that should be available.
Chanterelles (many species, all edible and choice) Lobster Mushroom <I>Agaricus campestris</I> <I>Agaricus arvensis</I> <I>Lepiota rachodes</I> <I>Lepiota americana</I> <I>Lepiota procera</I> <I>Coprinus comatus</I> (Shaggy Manes) <I>Coprinus micaceus</I> <I>Marasmius oreades</I> <I>Clitocybe nuda</I> (Blewit) <I>Lactarius deliciosus</I> and similar species (Orange Latex Milky) <I>Flammulina velutipes</I> (Enokitake) <I>Armillaria mellea</I> and relatives (Honey Mushrooms) <I>Pleurotus ostreatus</I> and relatives (Oyster Mushrooms) <I>Boletus edulis</I> (King Bolete) <I>Boletus albisulphureus</I> <I>Boletus bicolor</I> Gyroporus species <I>Hydnum repandum</I> Hericium species <I>Sparassis spathulata</I> (Cauliflower Mushroom) <I>Grifola frondosa</I> (Hen of the Woods) Puffballs Morels (spring only)
Every one of those mushrooms is presented in Edible Wild Mushrooms of North America (and that's not all there are in the book).
Good luck and Happy mushrooming!

F. Velutipes is also a spring 'shroom. It will appear before morels.

Flammulina velutipes is an all-year mushroom. It's available now if I choose to hunt it. I only mentioned spring for the morels because that's the only time they're around.
Happy mushrooming!

I didn't realize that it grew all summer. I do know; however, that it will appear in the spring before the morels.

It'll definitely be up before the morels.
Here in Colorado it's sometimes referred to as the Winter Mushroom, because it's one of the few mushrooms that can even be found in midwinter (during a warm spell).
