Anyone looking to actually eat a mushroom that they can't ID, relying upon the advice of fishermen based on a picture posted on the internet, ought to seriously consider a different source of information before eating said mushroom...I'm not sure I can think of a quicker and easier way to be in an ambulance on the way to the hospital in a few hours.

Take dried samples to the mushroom lab at the U of W...they will tell you what it is, and if you can eat it...

Ditto what rvrfshr said...neither of us had ever seen such an array of mushrooms in one place...and a few were the more obvious edibles, and in some fairly large quantities...there will be some harvest going on there next fall, to be sure.

Chantrelles, oysters, and Shaggy Manes...and a handful of others that we couldn't identify...some were making me trip out just by looking at 'em...but that might have been due to exhaustion from the two mile bushwhack up hill both ways that we did to get to some obscure stream full of nothin'...

Fall on the OP...doesn't get any better'n'at.

Fish on...
