Default Been out.. here's some specimin photos

I'm picking around Crowsnest Mountain. The forest floor is absolutely covered in many different species.

I think I've picked what looks to be a type of "bolates" catagory of mushroom.

I'm doing a spoor test on them and will see what comes up. Any of the lit I've read suggests that the bolates types (king, porchini, red top and others) are all more or less ediblle.... some more desireous than others.

Many of the shrooms out there have gills and I'm kindof avoiding them as I'm not sure what they are.

I picked one set with gills... I thought theywere possibly oyster mushrooms..... any ideas??

It seems that 'white with gills' are pretty much to be avoided.

Please feel free to tell me your thoughts.

oh.... the clubfoot is a pretty obvious one..... did a raw nibble test... and they're good!


I am just amazed at the variety on the forest floor this year.
