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.

I think I will go look for some Chanterelles today. Thanks for the inspiration!

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!

Moving to Portland, OR in a few months, hopefully people can point us in the general direction to go for the edible varieties there...
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.
