Habitat: Growing on leaf litter around mostly maple and beech trees in northwest Massachusetts Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc. White close gills
Stem: 3.5 inches long
Cap: roughly 3 inches
Spore print color: Didn't take it home but it seems to have brown spores or possibly black spores showing up Other information:

 __________________________________ Species#2
Habitat: Growing out of the base of an uprooted beech tree that was leaning at a 45 degree angle
Gills: Light brown, closely attached
Cap: A little over an inch in diameter with a dark brown center and pretty cool pattern better seen than described.
Stipe: Brown with some white. Roughly 3 or 4 inches long with remnants of a veil being pretty evident.
Again no spore prints sorry

the second ones are honey mushrooms
they are edible depending on the type of wood they grow from
can you positively identify the tree?

id have to check the book but i think those are good to eat then
i know bay is a no go.
typically youll want to cut of the caps and cook just those. but i was reading recently that if you shave away the stem, like the tough outer layer those can be good to eat too
ive never eaten honeys because ive always been unable to id the wood
and then some books so they are choice
and some just say edible, with no really good flavours to speak of. so they seem to better as filler mushrooms or combined with a better tasting mushroom
