Mushroom Walk

Where I live, we've had more rainy weather this year than any other I can remember. For about the past two or three months, we've had at least a little rain just about every day, with very few exceptions. As a result, mushrooms are rampant, so I decided to brave the 80% humidity, high heat and mosquitos to go on a mushroom walk... not to harvest, but to capture in photos. I was really surprised at the variety I found during a short time in the woods. Different shapes, sizes, colors and textures. Some were stout while others more delicate.

First the obligatory knife photos. I decided to take my C Cohutta Tellico along with my Hill People Gear Tarahumara pack.

And now for Odaon Odaon and any other 'shroom aficionados, here they are in no particular order...

Nice!
Great knife, beautiful pics! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I recently visited my folks back home (Austria) and we went on a ‘shroom walk, too. We harvested these. Tossed them in a skillet with some fresh butter from a local farm and parsley from the garden :)

ETA: Next time I hope to be carrying that Micro Strebig that C Cohutta is making for me ;)

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing them! I've been away on vacation and haven't been checking in on the forums much, but I saw the email for this one and had to come check it out. Just got back today!

I recognize many of those mushrooms, at least to the family. Some cool ones in there... Boletaceae, Amanita species, possibly some Pluteus. I can come back and take a better look a little later on and try to ID some more of them closer to the species level.

The 6th one is definitely a chanterelle, Cantharellus species, and the 11th looks like a Mycetinis sp. A mushroom I just recently learned! Some of the mushrooms in this genus smell and taste exactly like garlic.

Adam Haritan, Learn Your Land, just did a great video on those species. :thumbsup:
 
Oyster Oyster what are those? Look delicious.

They were!

Chanterelles.

Same species as Odaon Odaon identified in R RobbieB ’s 6th pic.

ETA: Because of our travels, I was reluctant to take any of my prized Fiddlebacks (for fear that they might get lost, stolen or confiscated) and only had a (boring) production folder with me.
But, man, did I ever miss having one of my ladies (LL or OS LF) that day!
I should really pick up a set to keep in Austria for when I visit...
