I found some interesting 'shrooms today in my "yard" - actually a
clearing

on my land in north central Arkansas Stone County . It's about 3"
diameter

and 4" tall , shaped like a trumpet , and a very pretty orange
color on top

, white underside . No gills visible , and the stem flows smoothly
into the

trumpet shape .

I looked a bit online but couldn't find one that looks exactly
like this

... I'm not going to eat it yet! but would like an idea what it
might be .

I can take some digital pics of it if someone wants to try to
identify it .

We've moved ! Though I'll be "commuting " to Memphis by
motorcycle to

work several days a week , I now call Stone County Arkansas home
.

Thanks !

Get your WILL up to date before you eat "those" mushrooms??? as you

may not get the chance to do so later.

As a follow-up check this site out.

Very informative and helpful...might save your life as well.

Thanks for the link , Roy . As far as eating wild mushrooms , I won't be
doing that until I'm *CERTAIN* that they aren't of the poisonous variety .
At the very least I'll show photos of any I find on my own to someone
local qualified to identify them . I'm hoping to hook up with some folks
from the area to gain some experience of what's growing in the area , and
what's edible of the local varieties .

Learning keeps
you young !

If you are truely interested search for a local group. I know there is
a Missouri Mycological Society.

I'm pretty sure there's one more local , but right now I have other
priorities - like getting my shop and tools moved up here from Memphis Tn.
Gotta make a livin' ...
