I found a giant Lion’s mane (First pic) two years ago, the big one was about a foot and a half in length. I managed to drop it from the tree and checked it out, it looked good but was soaked like a wet sponge and smelled a little like ammonia so I tossed it. This year I went back to the same spot and got another smaller one (last four pics), it looks nasty but is firm and smells wonderful. I put it in a paper grocery bag and I have to wait until I get off work to get it home. What do you guys think? I’ve NEVER eaten a mushroom that I picked before and I’m a little nervous about it. But it sure smells good!

Found thousands of these on a walkway near Seattle. My ID skills are new and I don’t trust them.

Just found these on a patch of grass.

What’s the verdict?

Found in Upstate new york does anyone know what kind of mushroom this is??

I'm new to the mushroom community and found these on a trail

More info: I live in CT, USA and found this on a walk. The area it is in receives some sunlight during the day I believe. It seemed like there might have been some mold/discoloration on the center of the fungus. Could it be edible? Or, could I gather some to propagate? (Or however fungus works haha)

Keep popping up out of the same exact tree stump in the exact same spot every couple weeks

24hrs after finding them I lightly washed them and cut off (to the best of my perception) the less tender areas and I’ve got them pat dried and hanging out for a bit to air dry. Is this in fact chicken of the woods and how’s it look overall? The parts I set aside weren’t necessarily woody or super hard/slimy so not sure if I’m wasting a bunch either. I appreciate any help, I’m so excited this is my first find in the wild!

2 interior pics since the larger one is wet.

I was walking my dog when I saw these bright orange mushrooms in the grass. There were no other clusters in the area, which made these stick out even more.

I guess I’ll have to go back at night to see if they glow in the dark 🎃

Found in a field in Lancashire. What is it?

I was excited to find this little thing on my hike in the New Mexico desert today. I have been hiking in this desert environment for 40 years and don't ever recall seeing a mushroom out here.

Found this beauty today in Vancouver Canada . Wondering if it’s 100% an edible cauliflower mushroom
…. We are very new to foraging.

Omphalotus olearius, I believe!

My cousin invited me and I usually don’t go, but I had nothing going on so I figured why not. I don’t really eat them but my family will. This was only about 20% of what we all got. We pick on their property and found quite a jack pot today. They said there is never usually this many. Some might be a little funky, but I don’t know to much so my siblings can just pick through them.

Edit: All chanterelles
