Mushroom ID Thread
Fl0und3rz:
I am a mushroom noob, but I am interested in learning more about the various things that can be foraged.
I thought it might be of interest to start a mushroom ID thread, post pics, discuss the variety, when/where they are found, thoughts on whether edible and cautions for lookalikes that may be toxic.
It probably goes without saying that you should not eat a mushroom unless you are 100% certain that it is not toxic.
There was a recent story about a surge in poison control calls this year due to consumption of toxic varieties of mushrooms.
You alone bear the responsibility for yourself in the consumption of mushrooms you forage.
(If there is an ongoing thread here, please let me know and I'll merge this.)
That said, here is my initial entry. Found today (11/10/15), under a deciduous tree, after the recent weeks of rain (cap size approx. 6-8 inches in diameter).
Pretty sure it's not this one.

Thanks, Bango. Putatively ID'd as poisonous, Amanita Muscaria.

"Mushrooms demystified" by david aurora is a very good one too. And anything written by paul stamets is golden.
