Found these puffball things in the woods of Penn. They look like they want to be eaten omnomnom. Plus a random mushroom I found, a cool silvery metallic cap with white powder stuff on the stem. Seems to bruise metallic color like the stem. Looks like it'd kill you in one bite.

Thanks man, again. Learn more everyday. Luckily I didn't pick more, hundreds of em. Any idea what the toxin is? Or does? Gastrointestinal distress or full blown liver failure.

you should consider posting your different finds to MushroomObserver.org, it will keep a running tally of everything you have found and it's a great way to learn to ID things.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. Got these ass backwards. Amanita edible, buff balls aren't.

Yeah, im extremely careful when it comes to shrooms. As a kid I ate some of a death cap when me and my parents went for a hike. I randomly picked and took a bite. Next thing I know my dads sausage fingers are down my throat barfing it all up on them hahaha.
