a few fellow shroomers say yes, it's indeed antillarum and congratulated me on the find

Anyone able to identify these? I have them growing like crazy in some new dirt.
They look like inky caps.
They liquify in sunlight.
Of the various types of inkies,
if you have an Alcohol Inky,
it acts somewhat like antabuse.

yes, those are inky caps. incidentally, the main species that grows from the rhino manure where I found the panaeolus antillarum
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.
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
They are left to be grown or mowed over. Maybe I will have better luck next year.
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
I have no idea what these are. I spotted them this morning next to the garage. I do not plan on eating them.
those are Armillaria species, aka honey mushrooms. this is definitely the season, there are seemingly millions out, especially in the southeast. technically edible for some, but not others. there's also a warning of not drinking alcohol 24 hours before or after eating these mushrooms
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.
Read the part about how to use the field guide first.

I can finally scratch this one off my bucket list
Sorry, I just seen your question.
They are very mild flavored, you wouldn't think it was a mushroom. Breaded like this they taste like a very lite breaded cutlet.
It looks like a slice of Wonder bread when cut into - same texture and look, very white.
Found one of these today.
very nice, Amanita either flavoconia or frostiana by the looks of it
This has been a great year for every kind of mushroom that I like
except meadow mushrooms.
I still haven't seen any.
Hunt, hunt, hunt, and identify, and repeat. And keep going until you know and are sure you know. If you have slightest bit of unsureness, throw it away until you are sure. They'll always be around and you'll have more opportunities. The hunt is half the fun, and can be disheartening walking and walking with no result, but the reward is so good when you find something.
