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 ! -- Snag |

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? |

We had a bumper crop here out in the paddocks just a couple of months ago - large cane shopping baskets full of them and they were delicious. |

There's a great mycological (mycology=study of fungi) society there. I have a friend or two in that group (I've been picking and eating wild fungi for more than 40 years). Do a Google search for NAMA (North American Mycological Society). They will list affiliated groups, find one near you and join in. Steve |

We got all kinds of wonderful stuff growing out in the woods ! -- Snag |

Here's the link to my photobucket mushrooms album http://s991.photobucket.com/user/Sna...?sort=3&page=1 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 -- Snag |

And JFTR, there can most definitely be *very* similar looking species growing amongst one another. Proximity is no way to ID anything, presumption here is really not an option if you want to live long. I _personally_ don't know anyone who's had an allergy to chanties, ... OTOH when I grew up nobody heard of anyone in the world ever having allergy to peanuts, either. |

OTOH when I grew up nobody heard of anyone in the world ever having allergy to peanuts, either. No , he's not cultivating Chanterelles , here's a quote from his email to me : "As far as edible mushrooms are concerned, I cultivate the ones we eat, pluroteus ostreatus, pluroteus eryngii, and hericium erinaceus. I have tried cultivating some others, unsuccessfully. because i have found so few edible species in my nature walks in north central arkansas, i never go looking for them now." And yes , I know proximity is no indicator . But when you see a cluster of mushrooms that all look identical , I believe it would be safe to assume they're the same . Moot point , because I'm not going to be eating them . I suspect I am sensitive to something in/on those shrooms , 24 hours after I picked it I'm bustin' out in hives and they are the only thing different in things I do/eat/handle . -- Snag |

I won't offer any opinion on the mushroom identity but, I'd recommend a cautious check on some of the other vegetation growing around them. In the photo showing the tip of your shoe, compare the plant above and to the left of the mushrooms, at about 11 o'clock, as well as the one to the right of your toe to this: http://tinyurl.com/3ylv9h Ross.

Southern Ontario, Canada Yup , looks a lot like poison ivy . But it isn't , it'll be a tree when if , it's in the power line easement it grows up . I'm especially careful to avoid PI , not because it bothers me but because my wife reacts badly to it .. If I think I've been in it , I put my clothess directly in the washer and my body into the shower . Thanks for the thought ! -- Snag |

And now that I've done a google hunt on it I find that it is a member of the rhus family - I wonder if we have any native to this country - next google job...... |
