Mushroom ID help please -- Are these edible
    #22293771 - 09/26/15 01:49 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I'm new to this and have recently adopted mushroom foraging.. I just found some specimens outside my house and I'm not sure if they are edible.

I think these are puff balls

And I have no idea what these could be

The white ones are have like tiny points all over the tops. A few of them I tried to pick had some nasty fluid come out of them.

They are all white with no gills on the bottom. I found them growing about 6 feet away from a tree outside by a root that was sticking up. The one has a picture with a hollowed out core.

E: I just split them in half and a two are white but the other four are brown and mushy. One had a little fluid come out. Are those rotten


The other ones are brown on top and have like a veiny type pattern. Towards the base they turn to white. They have no gills. I found those in some dirt right outside of my neighbors back steps. A few of them seemed to be somewhat submerged in it.
E: The inside is black and kinda resembles a pile of wet coffee grains. They were kind of hard to split apart by hand

I'm thinking they are Earthballs

Sorry for the terrible pictures. I only have my laptop camera! Any ideas if I can eat these or not

I think you're right. Look up your white mushroom under Lycoperdon perlatum, or similar. If they match they will be edible when still white inside. Make sure to cut them in half to make sure you haven't picked a baby mushroom by mistake.

For the other look up Scleroderma. Try S. geaster=S. polyrhizon: it was common where I used to live and this description would warm the cockles of my heart, if I had one.

Edit: make sure you cook any wild mushroom you eat, unless you specifically know it's edible raw.

Thank you very much.

Especially for the tidbit about cooking them. I did not know that
