I'm in the south east US. Lower Appalachian area.
They actually are a little more Brown in person than in the pics. The pics gave them a pink-Brown hue. It is relatively close, but in the pics the brown doesn't show as well as the pink.

I don't think its C. brunneocephala then which is a species known only from California as far as I'm aware. There are other species in that group it could be, I'm not really sure which one though.

Are there any toxic mushrooms in that group? I haven't eaten any of my findings, but I sure would like to- only if it is safe. I will likely go collect a few more hydnum and try those today. I read that they resemble chants in flavor and texture. That's a good thing. I've been craving some chants, but the season is done.

What do they smell like? I'm not sure there are any poisonous species in the blewit group, but I don't have any experience in your area either.

I did not notice any particular smell. I'll cut one in half and see if I can pick up on any scent

Hmm. Maybe nutty? Maybe fruity/sweet smelling. Mixed with mushroom smell. Not foul smelling at all, but I can't pin point the smell. It smells good, imo.
I've smelled some mushrooms before that are NASTY. I wouldn't put this smell anywhere near them.

There are some on ebay for $13 plus shipping, they come from China though so it will probably take a week to arrive.
Usually they cost around $30. Perhaps it is easy to make these micrometer slides cheaply but I have not yet found a way.

Ravioli with mushroom cream sauce is in the works.

If it is good, I'll can some and save for a later date
