I searched for a thread on this but did not see one, but came across a very interesting mushroom today above Spearfish Canyon. It looks a lot like puffballs that I see all of the time but this one was on a starfish looking flower that had thick rubbery petals. I am not sure if it was just growing on the flower but it seemed to be one organism. It tasted fine but now I am feeling a little funny, just kidding.
I run into lots of interesting looking Mushrooms hiking around and plan to post pictures of them here unless there is another thread that is appropriate.

You find the most interesting mushrooms under cow pods.

Thought it was a dried up flower when i first saw it.
Lots of cow pies around here i will do some checking.
+1 on the ID. I would have thought my photo came right off of the wikipedia page.

Yes, yes you do indeed. My grandfather owned a cattle ranch on the NW Washington peninsula when I was a kid, my parents were amazed how much time I spent out there in my teen years. Heh.

Mushrooms?
Don't eat too much psilocybin!
Ditto for amanitas.

Anybody got any tips to get the maggots cleaned out of boletes?

Oplopanax: If the maggots have a good hold on a bolete, I leave it for them. If they are just starting up the stem, a little surgery works for me.
Here's the largest bolete I've ever found, and some smaller ones too. None of these had maggots.

Never get tired of fungus photos. Hopefully, some rain will come and we will have a season in CA this year...

Wow, what a haul, Moosedrool (and others)!
Part of our collection of saffron milk caps from the Australian pine forests last autumn:
Great on pizza, in mushroom and chicken pies and in creamy pasta sauces.
Moving to Portland, OR in a few months, hopefully people can point us in the general direction to go for the edible varieties there...

I ate a large amount of mushrooms one time in laughlin on a 4th of July. My third eye opened, releasing my soul into the cosmos. I was free to zoom around. When I came back to my body and looked up at the stars I could tell exactly where earth was in the universe and distence and 4 dimentional spacial relations between the stars. It was like looking at the universe in a tiny box. There were giant entities made up of galaxies, some benevolent, some not so much. Shiva was a collage age girl with curly hair and freckles. At one point I thought I had been shot. I saw Kingman Arizona lift up, and tilt toward me . My buddy lost his mind early on and wandered out into the desert to die.
To this day I remember what my soul looks like, how it felt being catapulted out of my body, and what it was like being given the ability to see the distences between the stars with my naked eye.

We at the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science just held our first mushroom foray at Tahoe this weekend. I'm a complete noob, but we had some solid experts along and definitely had a good time trying to sort things out. Only a handful of edibles came home with me (Trichloma flavovirens), but I was content to just try and put names on stuff at this point. There's some photos here if anybody's interested: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152472436770028.1073741836.173935990027

Shaggy Manes are quite delicious when fresh. I am lucky enough to have a small patch in my backyard. The Inky Caps are the ones that will give you trouble. They look the same but are smaller. If you drink alcohol after ingesting them, you vomit.

Plucked these from the lawn at work last week. A tad inky when I cooked them but still tasty.

Finally some fungus pickings in norcal. Was able to gather chanterelles, porcini, cauliflower and lions mane this weekend. Just going to get better as we get more rain . Saw lots of amanitas and Russelas as well.
For books, all that the rain promises by arora is as good as it gets for our area.

Those amanita pictures remind me of:
When I started climbing as a teen, in North Conway N.H...
Jimmy Dunn was the lead/head climbing instructor for EMS
He painted a bunch of the student helmets as Amanitas :)

Bump for the 2015 Northern Hemisphere mushroom season.
As a recent immigrant to the Pacific Northwest I'm enjoying the mushrooming the area has to offer (turns out there's a plus to all that rain...). The climbing's not too shabby either!

You seem to be doing ok, but here in Oregon we usually lose an entire Vietnamese family every year because there's some mushroom they pick in Vietnam that looks the same as a seriously poisonous one here. There are also reports every year of people in the woods being confronted by folks with weapons defending their mushroom turf which is apparently lucrative.
Give a shout if you want to get out sometime...

Thanks, Healyje.
So far we're doing well while keeping cautious and sticking to the easily identifiable species (chanterelles, some of the boletes, morels and one very lucky cauliflower) - some local friends and the PNW field guide have helped there. Armed folks staking out their patch wasn't a hazard I'd considered before, though with the chanterelles selling for $17 a pound at our local market I can easily believe it.
Meeting up for a forage or climb would be great should you have a free day at some point - I'll PM you my contact details in case.
