--- Quote from: Jake Dogfish on May 20, 2018, 02:14:11 PM ---“Oyster” :tup: --- End quote --- Thank you. FYI... I figured out that it is Pleurotus Populinus. It and Pleurotus Pulmonarius are edible and common in the Pacific Northwest. These two species are basically the same as Pleurotus Ostreatus which is found worldwide. All three are edible. A couple links to help ID this species... Pleurotus Populinus: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus_populinus Pleurotus Pulmonarius: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus_pulmonarius I had already thrown this one out by the time I identified, but it says that it will continue to grow in the same location for 2-4 years. I’ll be back next year I guess. |

Found in Kittitas county in the hills! --- End quote --- I think it's the cauliflower kind my dad used to get, don't quote. --- End quote --- It's a coral and you can clearly see how it gets its name. Most corals are edible but the yellow have given me some gastric distress. I may have undercooked it but I doubt it. |

--- Quote from: Miles on May 24, 2016, 05:12:26 PM ---Here's a couple I came across down here in ca. Not sure if it's an edible amanita vernicoccora or the death cap... I left it. --- End quote --- This looks a bit like coccora but you'd need to get a good guide to match up where and when you found it, the spore print, and the visual characteristics. Remember - every mushroom is edible...some only once. No free mushroom is worth organ damage or death. I recommend Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora. This is an extensive study and the "Bible" for most mycologists. His field guide, All That The Rain Brings and, More, contains brilliant photos of the most common edible mushrooms. |

--- Quote from: Woodchuck on September 11, 2017, 09:07:27 AM ---Any thoughts on this one? --- End quote --- I concur with Chicken of the Woods. This looks like a dry specimen. When harvesting Chicken, the "shelves" should be moist and spongy. The dryer ones are tough and usually taste piney. |

Glad to see you in here and the book recommendations. Thanks. Got any general books for plant ID in PNW? Edible, non-edible, trees, shrubs, grasses, etc. I know next to nothing. |
