I have found a patch several , actually of what I believe to be

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

First two photos look like slightly-aged Smooth Chanterelles.
What you need here is a hands-on knowledgable and *experienced*
shroomer to show you the diff between the edibles and any lookalikes.
So join a club, if there's one anywhere around!
(I can not speak for ones in the other photos, and while I don't
necessarily think they are harmful I don't claim they are the same
species, either.)

The other 'shrooms in my photos are identical , I picked this one in the
same spot . Unfortunately the only guy I've found that is close enough to
help me grows his own , said he found so few edibles here that he quit
hunting . With no one near to help me learn and identify I've decided to
limit my 'shroom hunting to the grocery store shelves ...
Plus right now I've got a case of hives , dunno where it came from . Might
be a reaction to handling that mushroom , might be from a couple of bee
stings earlier this week , might be something I ate .scratch scratch
