I have found a patch several , actually of what I believe to be
chanterelle mushrooms . Does anyone here have the knowledge to help
me ID these ? I will post photos of both the 'shrooms where they're
growing and the one I picked to ID them .
We love mushrooms ... I sure hope these are edible !


Here's the link to my photobucket mushrooms album

Even if a number of people who post here swear on a stack of bibles
that they are safe to eat, I'd still be wary given how toxic some
mushrooms can be.

I pick and eat field mushrooms but even then I'm wary given that there
have been a number of deaths in near proximity to where I live form
mushroom poisoning.

Do you have any higher education institutes near you where there might
be a mycologist on staff?


I'll call the county extension agent , he might have or know someone . I
don't know of anyone in the area that is a 'shroom hunter , have to check .
My neighbor knows everything else , maybe ...
