Sunday hunt in PA
    #8997899 -

Im not so sure of many mushrooms yet other than morels and horn of plenty, but I went out today to see what I could find.  I have an ID book, The field guide to the wild mushrooms of PA, but couldnt find any of our finds in it. If you guys need anymore information on a certain one let me know I picked most of them and can take more pictures.
























Does anything look edible?

Yeah. The ones in #6 are edible.

I will confess something that should be quite obvious, CC.  I love mushrooms, i.e. fungi.  I really do.  I am talking about a strong feeling, i.e. emotion, for them.  I think they are beautiful.  I even dream of them.

Although not in that stage of decomposition :wink: They are a coprinus species, but it's hard to make out which one precisely at this point. Are they the same as the previous pic? In that case they're probably c. picaceus. I'm unsure if these contain coprine, which causes a toxic reaction in the human body if alcohol is consumed directly prior to, or in the days following ingestion of the mushroom.

#2 and #3 are a beautiful species of amanita, although I'm not sure which.

#4 is a puffball; a lycoperdon species by the looks of it. Puffballs are edible if, and as long as, the flesh is white all the way through.

#8 and #9 are a suillus species; many of those are edible, but some are extremely bitter. They're considered best (or at least, acceptable) if the slimy pellicle is removed prior to cooking.

#10 could be a clitocybe (?)

#11 most resembles a lactarius species at first glance, but I'd like to see the underside of the cap.

The puffballs are your safest bet if you're after edibles. None of your mushrooms are really considered choice edibles, although in the best case scenario 3 of them are ok to eat.

#6 are inky caps, yeah?

Don't drink alcohol within a week of eating them, or you'll get sick. Otherwise they're completely edible.

We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."  --Max Planck

2 - 3) Amanita, maybe flavoconia
8 - 9) Gyrodon merulioides
10) Clitocybe

Thanks for all the help!  I don't think I'm going to attempt to eat any of these anyways.  But does anyone have any idea about #7 I thought these were pretty interesting.

#7 looks like it's an aborted entoloma. It's edible, pretty good.
The name is a misnomer, it was thought that honey mushrooms attack an entoloma causing this deformation, so they were called aborted entoloma, the thinking now is that the honey mushroom is the one that is deformed by the entoloma. Sometimes you can find one or both of the mushrooms that cause this deformed blob growing near it. A key indentifing feature to these blobs is if you cut them open there are redish veins running through them.
