Saw these yesterday in Oregon. R they they worth investigating any further?
    #27095586 - 12/18/20 10:06 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hi.  I saw these growing yesterday in western Oregon but only had time for a couple quick pics.  They are growing in a landscaped bark dust area and under many trees being as it is a lightly wooded area.  Large oak tree near by along with many other species of trees.  Lots of leaves on ground.  Two groups of shrooms were about 100 ft apart.  One under/ between larger plants and other growing under trailer. 

I'm just wondering if they look like anything worth collecting more information on?  I'm not asking for positive ID at this point, just wondering if they may be anything worth trying to pursue an identification of for any reason?   
Thanks.

Not psychoactive.
Armillaria sp.

I agree, armillaria sp. Likely something in the armillaria mellea group.
They aren't psychoactive but some people enjoy eating them, so there's always that.

Thank you for the responses.  Didn't think they looked like anything super "special" but am also interested in any other uses.

They're pretty mind-blowing as organisms, IMO:

As others have said, certain Armillarias (there are a few species for sure!) have a reputation as among the most tasty mushrooms. I think this is especially true in eastern Europe.

Yes, i agree, fascinating organism.

I'm in southern/eastern Europe and people collect Armillarias. They call them "puza" - "puzas" plural. Supposedly you got to boil them first, throw away the water, then prepared them the way you want.

Personally I find them disgusting in appearance. They look like some sort of clustered alien. Hell, they even grow in my backyard, I'm sick of them. I don't even want to try them cooked any way.
I collect parasols and I'm happy.:dancer:

I've never eaten them because they're so off-putting in appearance. Just forming parasitic clusters on trees spraying those white spores everywhere. The beech trees in the woods at my old house were absolutely covered with them.
