Mushrooms

bjrogg:
I was still hunting my way back to one of my stands last night. We went through wet cold long spring followed by a short dry summer and now we're in the monsoon season. There were mushrooms everywhere. Puff balls and others I've seen before. Others I haven't.

I don't know nearly enough about mushrooms. The only ones I Harvest are morels.
I took some pictures of two different types. The colorful ones I've seen here before. Their kinda pretty but I'm guessing not something I want to bring home and feed the family.

The flattened out more drab type I don't recall seeing. They almost remind me of the type that grow like a shelf on the side of trees.

Eric Krewson:
The top two pictures appear to be a Fly Agaric which are poison.

Don't know about the bottom picture.

bjrogg:
Thanks Eric. I was pretty sure anything that looked that colorful was probably not a family treat.

GlisGlis:
Hard to be sure but the mushrooms in the third picture look like lactarius salmonicolor
They are orange with some green tint. They are pretty good eat when young.
Once they grow up they are usually heavily targeted by worms
Not sure if they are present in north america. If I remember correctly they're native of europe but they very well be part of the lactarii family

Once again dont trust me and make a triple check before eating mushrooms

AndrewS:
Lactaris salmonicolor is possible but also  a Russet stubble mushroom, but without a look to the underside I can  say nothing exact.

The Fly agaric (amanita muscaria) is a sort of magic mushroom.  The effect is described in Alice in Wonderland...
