I need some help identifying these large mushrooms. Are they edible, pouisonous, hallucinogenic? What species, exc. They were found in a forest on a dead log in New Jersey. The spore print seemed to be white/clear with a very very light brown.


-------------------- This website is pretty cool. I am new to mushroom and really suck at identificicatin but i am hoping that you guys can help me!

I think dan is right, which means that you need to do much longer to get a spore print. It should come out a rather vivid pink. Try doing it overnight.
Going with that species, they are edible and not active.
Happy mushrooming!

Leave those over night to print... try and keep the caps spaced a few inches from one another, because it looks to me like some of those may leave a spore print, while others may leave a writhing pile of larvae.

They are edible, but not so good as many other species. If you want to try them, eat only the young specimens with white gills. The big ones in your photos are too far gone to be eaten. As CureCat mentioned, they are probably full of maggots.

Yup, the little ones would be best eaten.... But there is a better use still for the BIG ones. Drop kicking!

all mushrooms are magical, where's your sense of wonder...
to bad all mushrooms aren't safe and psilocybian.
it would make itialian food more interesting, eh?
--------------------
Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.
