Found some lobsters and Chanterelles! Expensive! They have them at Safeway in Shadle Center, Spokane. Lobsters are $36.99/lb and Chanterelles were I think $34.99/lb!

I probably spend more than that picking the "free" one in the woods.

I am right there with most of the cost being my time and gas money,
I bought a short term commercial license for fun and to see exactly what they will and won't buy.  I am looking at it not as a money maker this year but paying for education.  There is a big difference in knowing I picked some Chantrelles and I picked good ones someone will pay for. Trying to learn more about judging the good, bad and ugly before they get home 
They were paying $4 for Chanterelles last weekend, figure I will keep most of what I find this weekend.

king boletes? Picked a couple feet from each other. I guessing the one with the more yellow underside is just older and passed it’s prime.

What do we have here folks? Hawks wing  but past it's prime?

White chanterelles.

I know you know your fungi pretty well Pianoman. Do they get those curled horns on top regularly on the white ones? I picked a few pounds of Chanterelles right around them in the same location yesterday. Near Pierce, Idaho.

I can answer that. Yes. We find the white ones around the regular chanterelles. Good eating.

Next question, is the tan color typical as long as the firmness is there and the core isn't rotted? Or is this one I photographed past it's expiration? I should have taken them I guess!

This was another one I was unfamiliar with. What might it be? It was near the creek along the bank.

Those ones are on the older side for sure. I prob would have taken them and cleaned them up a bunch. If there were a lot of them then I would definitely high grade. I find most chanterelles on the west side tend to rot fast when they get big so some cleaning is usually beneficial.

Looks like a old aminita.  If you pulled it up it should have a rounded base or “volva”.

Any idea what these are? They're growing in my neighbor's lawn and I just wanted to know if they're poisonous, in case my kids try to pick them.

I'd have to see the underside and want a spore print. They could be deadly.

This one got stepped on yesterday
