Looks like blues. May be the exposure, but they look a little lighter blue than normal.

Thanks for the reply’s. Here is another look from the top

Wow! Those are still on my bucket list.

I’m still a little unsure on these. I’m now thinking pigs ear/violet chanterelle rather than a blue.

I'm thinking Black Chantys.  For comparison here are some blacks from my elk ground.  Quite a few in the area.

Although now that I read more I'm thinking Blues. Polyozellus Marymargaretae?

I had thought those were one in the same.  Seems not?

Polyozellus Multiplex would be the less leathery looking version for timberhunters variety. Yours look like the polyozellus Mary Margaret's though. Like a black turkey tail only growing from the ground and not a log. It's definitely chantrelle season though! I'm wanting to go out real bad but don't have time! Thanks for sharing!

So I made it out! And made out like a bandit! I took the family into central Idaho to a place I know that produces well and we found all sorts of stuff!

That first picture is of scaly chanterelles. Do not eat them. You will get sick.

Now I have to say, I know alot of mushrooms look alike but can be poisonous so I am not familiar with a yellow coral. It's buttery yellow at the tops but more creamy white up the trunk and at the base. What is it and how would you prepare it? I've only come across cluster corals with the brown and redish hue on them.

[LDennis24]

Correct, I took a few last year and ate them from the same location with no ill effects. I found quite a large clump of them that I wanted to take so badly! I also found this guy in the same locale as a few years ago and left it once again. I believe someone told me I should have taken it. 

[LDennis24]

I'm gonna post all the suspect ones I found and you guys let me know what you think they are and I can judge my ID ability. Here's some Russula?

[LDennis24]

Not sure what these guys are. They have a stalk so not a puffball?

[LDennis24]

Don't know this one either

[LDennis24]

What do you make of this one? My boot is a size 13.
