a few fellow shroomers say yes, it's indeed antillarum and congratulated me on the find too bad it didn't bruise blue
Thanks for the identification. I really want to get into mushroom hunting, but I am very cautious as my knowledge is so limited right now.
Exactly! I would love to be more educated in mushrooms, but I will not take risks.Rule #1: If you don't know exactly what you're doing,
don't eat the mushroom.

They are left to be grown or mowed over. Maybe I will have better luck next year.definitely tread with caution as there are common species that can seriously harm you. of course you should be cautious. luckily most poisonous are easily identified. familiarize yourself one by one on local species, learn a much as you can

I have no idea what these are. I spotted them this morning next to the garage. I do not plan on eating them.

I can so relate. My manager is really into mushroom foraging and his father is extremely knowledgeable. I really want to take the leap, but I am so cautious.it actually took a year of trepidation and research before I was actually comfortable in wild foraging mushrooms. I'm not the brightest bulb in the knife drawer, but don't feel bad for being cautious

so what are they like? I find edible puffballs but never anything substantial, so I've never tried them
ha, my buddy called me last night about the jacksonii, "dude, I've got to find more of those. they're addictive and taste like cheese and even linger on your palette" I love introducing people to mushrooms and eventually blowing their minds with facts, how some look and/or how they taste! I've collected spores from Amanita jacksonii but I'm almost certain they're mycorhhizal with pine trees, so cultivation may prove to be non-feasible
who wouldn't fall in love with these amazing mushrooms after seeing them on your plate?

Went on a hunt yesterday. Was after meadow mushrooms, only found one.
found a handful of shaggy manes but they were already inking.
