The Official Mushroom Thread

I stopped to check out a large cluster of almost white mushrooms on a downed tree in Nassau. Turned out to be old chicken of the woods.

Yah chickens take forever to decompose, so I tend to find a fair amount at this stage.

Been on the look out for lions mane, @soundz you come across any?

I have found a few, but kinda uncommon in NJ. I find more upstate.

I have a family member that is into foraging and I think I have seen this while riding. If I see it again I will take it to him for identification.

Saw this at my friends place. Looks like it may be rooted to the ground and want to make sure it wont be an issue for the pupper

Psilocybe cyanescens are super uncommon in the East. I'd compare these with Psilocybe cubensis aka cubes which are 99% of what you find in stores.

laetiporus cincinnatus aka chicken of the woods

Cincinnatus is harder to find of the 2 species that you see most around here. I'd take it while it's young. They taste best that way.

Thanks for the tentative ID. The lighting wasn't very good right there and the fungi looked somewhat desiccated and shriveled. Only took the one shot.

Did have these lawn shrooms growing for about a week. They were doing really well until they got mowed last Friday.
