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/
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?
Have you ever seen or eaten Suillus Albivelatus? They are a yellow pored Bolete with extremely dense flesh. I Just found a bunch of them at about 7000 feet in the Cascade range and could send you some dried samples if you are curious. They were very large, about 5 pounds a piece and 10″ across.
Hey Sage, I’d love to try some samples. Suillus have their uses. 5 lbs each is an incredible size too. Shoot me an email: alanbergo3 AT gmail and I’ll send my address. Love new species! A

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

Post photos in a mushroom idendification group on facebook. ID is not possible without multiple images.
