Schroom time

Went on a little walkabout today thinking that I might get lucky and find a few Chanterelles. I usually find them around the 4th of July but i've not had the chance to look lately.
Looks like I was a week late and a week early. Most that I found were either too far gone or too small. I did manage to find enough to make my walk worthwhile though. And a bonus Chicken of the Woods.
Also found a large cluster of Hen of the Woods but unfortunately it was a little too big and tuff.

I am just starting so I have much to learn. I found these on my property today and will go back in the morning, after some research this evening, and confirm what they are. I love mushrooms and look forward to some wild ones.

I have these on my property and can't figure out what they are for the life of me.

Those look like Chanterelles to me. Nice find!!

Hmmm, not sure about that one. Kinda looks like a puff ball [edible] on the first pic but not sure on the other pics.
I can only safely identify a few mushrooms with certainty, Chanterelles, Bearded tooth, Shelf [oyster], Chicken of the woods, Hen of the woods, and Morels. I'm sure there are a lot of edibles on my property but if i'm not sure I leave them be.
Maybe Buzzard Breath will chime in, he's pretty good at identifying the good from the bad.

Like I said, I needed to do a bunch of research to make sure. Confirmed they were chanterelles. Dry sautéed and then added a little butter. Added a little brown gravy and served over a medium rare ribeye. Baked potato and grilled asparagus.
Now I need a nap.

Look up Lions mane. Extremely easy to identify with no lookalikes. Cook them like a Morel. They taste like lobster.

I've found a few, both times in the Winter time. I call them Bearded tooth, they go by several different names. They are good!!
Kinda look like deer balls after you cut them off lol.
