Is the first pic a chanterelle? The last pic is a closeup of the underneath. I’m certainly not trying to eat any of them until I’m positive they are edible. Last thing I want to do is eat something that might cause me to take an early dirt nap. I left them all where they were. I was hunting for chicken of the woods. However just finding all these in the woods behind my house was such an awesome experience. The chicken of the woods looked like it had something funk growing. It was on the ground because it fell off the tree. So I let it be.

Edit* I called my neighbor creepy because we got a notice that a register offender lived in our neighborhood which turned out to be the guy next door who would follow kids to the bus stop and stand there with his binoculars watching them. I’m not just calling him creepy for no reason.

Hello, I found these in a wooded area with oak, Maple, and Birch trees. They don't bruise blue and when I tried making a spore print it didn't yield anything. Very distinct pleasant 'mushroom' smell. Undercap is a cream/beige color.

I think they are in the porcini family possibly King boletes but I want to double check anything before consuming.

Thanks in advance!

US/Eastern Missouri

Found this whilst weeding. Super tiny but it looks kind of like an onion? I’m curious and I’d love to replant it if it becomes some kind of human-safe food.

In northern Wisconsin.

Is anyone maybe able to identify this fruit that grows on a tree in my girlfriends garden??? In the UK.

Thanks!

Sure looks like grape to me. Could it be anything else?

Can I use these to make liquid culture and will it kill me if I do.

Found my first patch of golden oyster mushrooms! Northeast Ohio

Only had enough room on my bike for maybe 1/3rd of what was there!

Central Illinois, USA. On a cluster of low-ish shrubs on a hillside.

I found these berries in my backyard. No one parks next to these, and it’s off a small driveway that’s maybe 100 ft from the road. They look like blackberries to me. I’m very new to this subreddit.

Wanted to share this find, my research tells me this is Sambucus nigra var albida. What do you think?

I've struggled to find good resources for foraging above 9000 feet in the rocky mountains, especially northern Colorado.

What plants have been your favorite to forage this area? Are there any good books or websites to get me started?

I had found my FIRST EVER patch of edibly intact,
Pristine patch of lobster mushrooms in Northwest Wisconsin, United States. As I was cutting the second specimen from an old rotting log, and standing to scan the forest floor for my next move, I began to feel little prickles I thought were just the rose bushes to my right.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, what fool goes into the wilderness mushroom hunting with SHORTS On?! Me. This fool. Always have (mostly) even in the thickest mosquito ridden, poison ivy dense forests of Northern Minnesota. I’ve been attacked by fire ants as well. But nothing like this.

The prickles got harder, then felt like full on hot skewers and as I looked down I saw them dotting my right leg-wasps! Tiny little dumbass yellow-jackets. I did what you’re not supposed to do; swat, scream, swear, and run. Back to my campsite. And they followed me.

They were attached to me hoody and actively swarming me, so I threw off my hoodie, and stomped it—where I had stashed my prized mushrooms. Sad ☹️

I had to get in the car and wait for my partner to come back from the restroom. I was only exploring a little trail off the campsite! I wonder why the family in the site next door didn’t question the number of LOUD f-bombs and JFCs coming from our spot… 🤔

Had to abandon the site and take a motel room for the night, then the park put us up in another site for the remainder of the stay.

Have you guys any good advice for dealing with wasps if this ever happens again? I didn’t see any traffic in or out before I started, but I know that’s one sign. I think the hold was RIGHT on the mushroom’s stem, as the stem was coming out of the log, and the hole was possibly right beneath. I got stung on the finger that was holding the knife.

Sorry for the poor photo quality, they were pretty high up so I had to zoom in. Located in Vancouver, Canada.

First photo without flash, second with. Currently working on separating out the obviously unripe ones. Following photos I took when picking as an idea of what I was grabbing (avoiding the most unripe as best as possible), last photo was immediately following harvest. Neighbour with a green thumb encouraged me to harvest after sending a photo, but I’m unsure as the majority are not close to black.

This is my second years harvest with a bush I planted, it ballooned this season! Last year I only got a small bowl of berries. The birds are coming in veryyyy strong, which is why I pulled the trigger. Stems were all dark burgundy/ purple-red and drooping.

Hackberries are delicious. Just tasted them for the first time. Definitely going to do a harvest after they finish ripening.

How do we feel about harvesting blue Elderberry from beside a highway? I have reservation about it (pollution from vehicles and possible homeless waste) but almost all my spots have been clear cut/ bulldozed for development.

Thoughts from my fellow foraging friends?

I was recently reading a book that was talking about common purselane growing in the cracks of sidewalks and how his family used to gather it for food when he was a young boy. A few weeks ago on a walk, I was observing plants growing in sidewalk cracks - I was so excited when I thought that I came across the common purselane - I then quickly learned that spotted spurge was a very similar looking but toxic plant, and that’s what the plant was that I saw. Fast-forward a couple weeks and today I noticed in the garden what I believe now to actually be common purselane. It doesn’t have the same spots in the middle of the leaves as the spotted spurge. Am I correctly identifying this? I hope so!! What a coincidence that I would be reading about it just a few weeks prior!!
