Hello Alan,
I was wondering if you have ever tried Verpa bohemicas? Lots of older field guides list them as edible, new texts warn of gastric upset. I ate them years ago, and have just recently started harvesting them again. They are all over where I harvest ramps and fiddle heads, seems a shame to leave them out.
I very much enjoy your posts, they inspire me to try new things. If you are ever in the Grand Rapids,Mn area stop in and say hi at the CVS in Target

Hey Dave! Take a look at my article here. Just cook them through, like a morel. The toxicology of Verpa is the same as Morchella. https://foragerchef.com/half-free-morels/

What a brilliant series of edible images. How about links to mycology pages?

I found a couple of mushrooms while foraging around my cabin. One is a coral, I believe one to be a waxy cap but the third I am stumped on. It looks like a brain in shape and very wet to the touch. the color is beige and it has no gills that I can see. any ideas?
