possible shrimp of the woods and hedgehog?

Sorry guys I don't know habitat or substrate friend of mine picked them. I really have to download the manual to my camera this is embarrassing.
I think the white one is a shrimp of the woods and cream colored one is a hedgehog, the underside is spikes. If these are correct guesses the white one is a bit soft it gives when you press, you guys think its still good to eat? Appreciate the help im downloading camera manual while I wait for responses.

I'd never even heard of a 'shrimp of the woods' before seeing this, so nothing to say there...
as far as the reported hedgehog goes.... your gill shot, which would positively ID this is sooooooo out of focus that it's impossible to tell. I mean it looks like it probably is, if it's got teeth on there it is... but I really can't see them.

He refers to Entoloma abortivum, which I guess is possible here but we'll need way better pictures and more details.

Yeah, that's a hedgehog. I'd say, as it seems to have no signs of an umbilicus, it's likely a fairly small Hydnum repandum

Can confirm Entoloma abortivum are out in the eastern US. I ate a pound plus of them tonight with a venison tenderloin

Browned/caramelized in salted butter with a lil onion and garlic, they're delightful. Top six fungus edible ime
Edit: go light on the onion and garlic, tho. They're just to round out the flavor, not overpower the fungus. Browning the E. abortivum really develops the flavor.

Find areas infected by honey mushrooms: 15 to 50 year old hardwood forests with intermittent dead trees which give no outward appearance of why they should be dead; they're likely infected by armillaria.
I find them most often in the leaf litter from 6 inches to 15 feet from the base of living (or at least still standing) trees. When you find one, stop and look carefully because chances are there are more hiding in the fall leaves.
If you find any Armillaria or Entoloma, you should also slow down and look harder at that point because, again, the aborted version may be hiding nearby.
If you find a patch, there's a good chance they'll grow again in that same vici city next year. I've been dipping into the same ~2 acre area for five years now, each autumn.
Best of luck!

Found these ones in central New York, early October. The rest of the pictures are blurry, and I didn't pick any because I realized my hands were in the poison ivy that surrounded them. I think I've built up some tolerance to it, but I'm still not interested in eating it.
 Also, I don't know exactly what species hedgehog mushrooms are, but maybe this is one?
 IDK if it's even close to be honest, I don't feel like looking it up right now.

The timing makes sense, uzi. Central NY in early OCT, central VA in early to mid NOV, and just starting in GA. You likely could've just washed them off and been good to go, but I hear you on not liking the possibility of eating urushiol. Fuck that.
Have you had em before? If so, ever eat the Entoloma parent?

Unless you're in the northern mountains of GA, your abortivum season should just be ramping up.

I've not tried them, I've been hunting and collecting, identifying and examining, for a quite a while. This year is pretty much the first time I've actually been interested and confident enough to start collecting mushrooms to eat. The only thing I ate this year was some bear's head tooth, Next year I'll probably try a few more. I know a spot for wine cap stropharia, and I can probably find some pear shaped puffballs again. If I see some more shrimp of the woods I will probably try those if they're not covered in poison ivy. I found some this year that I didn't know we're edible and others that were just too old or in too poor a condition to try.

Hey guys what you think about these?
found a nice cluster but dropped it in the spring and then looking seemed too far gone anyway, bummer. Guess prime time was before this last rain. I left a lot of small ones maybe they'll grow more before it gets too cold.

Sorry about that, was away for a couple days.
Wash em off, trim out any discolored areas, and fry em up!
As with all new-to-you edibles, try a tablespoon or so before diving in to the whole batch. Thats what I've always read; try a small portion first to make sure you're not sensitive to them (allergic reaction, indigestion, etc)

When I say discolored areas, I mean truly discolored, not just a little like the one at 3 o'clock/far right in your pic. That one is fine.
I trim out any blackened areas or spots or divets where any soil doesn't wash out.
Best thing you can do is to make sure to harvest them carefully and brush or blow off any dirt before putting them in your collection bag or basket...that way you minimize cleanup and cross contamination.

Definitely want to go very light on any added flavors and make sure to brown the mushrooms in order to bring out a slightly nutty flavor they develop when browned/carmwlized (similar to the way onion flavor develops when you brown and carmelize them as opposed to their flavor when raw)

That's what I saw. Cap was a little more pronounced Greyish purple. Will they turn into shrimps? I'm confused I thought they were honey mushrooms that are infected. What's your take on that?

Those are Entoloma abortivum mushrooms, the blobs are technically blobs of both Entoloma and Armillaria hyphae
They will not turn into shrimps. Both the E. abortivum mushrooms and the blobs are edble.
