Likely a cortinarius.Kidney killer.Stay away.Look for hedgehogs,rosy gomphidius,admirable boletus,zellars boleta, slippery jacks.Educate yourself by looking into books and joining a club and going on field trips to gain the knowledge of more skilled shroomers.It's been too wet for many of our choice shrooms but till a really hard frost hits there is a chance that there will be something that will come up to eat.gl

To be able to reliably ID mushrooms, you need top, side and bottom (gill) photos. Another thing that often helps is a spore print. If a mushroom has white gills, place it w/o stem, gill side down on a piece of dark paper, glass, or aluminum foil and leave it sit overnight in an area with no drafts. You could also place a glass or cup over it.

It also helps to note if they are growing out of dirt, wood in the ground, or on a log or branch and what type of tree it is. Also, note the surrounding trees as many mushrooms are pretty specific about what they associate with.

Bango, these seem too large to be included in the "little" brown mushroom category.

Could be a Gymnopylus specie?

I did find about a dozen hedgehogs yesterday in pretty decent shape. Was a nice surprise I don't seem to find many of them and when I do it's just one, but these were growing fairly close together. Today I packed out a beautiful and big calliflower. No fresh loins yet, gonna have to pull some straps outa the freezer, gotta have some meat with my shrooms. Chantrells I'm seeing are a bit past prime, pretty wet out there.

If not and you want to go deeper into it (which you might be to some extent) follow the previous posts and make sure you know what you're doing. The last thing you want to do is mix up shrooms.

Also found a cauliflower mushroom, but it was not good.... fell apart when I tried to pick it. Like Lefthook said... stick to the chanterrelles and only pick ones you're sure about.

Very close to where these shrooms were seen
