It's been a while since I've seen a /mush/ thread! How is everyone's fall mushroom season treating them? I've been finding tons of mushrooms!! Lots of these Satan's boletes, rubroboletus eastwoodiae, popped up everywhere. Too bad they're not good to eat..

New to mushrooms on the central coast of California. I got lucky and found some candy caps.
Thaxterogaster vibratilis>>2851190Don't sleep on suillus-- some of them like S. brevipes are pretty good! I did a blind tasting one time and folks liked it almost as much as porcini.
>>2851194Sweet! They're still on my to find list.I found hundreds of these spicy, yellow staining milk caps.
>>2851198
>>2851194Pro tip: Some of the best candy cap patches ive ever seen were under Monterrey pine. Youre probably not hurting for live oak habitat, but check out pines too. Might be worth your time.
>>2851199Collybia odora was out in force this year! Last year I found one patch with 5 mushrooms. This year they're all over the place!
Morchella snyderi from out by mount Shasta last spring.
>>2851196I keep meaning to try them. But they're usually just past or buggy when I find them. I gathered a whole bag of what I thought would be good suillus pseudobrevipes only to find they were entirely filled with maggots and holes when I cut them in half at home. Probably the only one that wasn't buggy was the one I cut in half out in the woods to see if they were buggy....and I tossed that one....BAKA
>>2851200Actually the environment I found them in was a mixed forest of oak and Monterey pine.
Cantharellus californicus from under Oregon white oak. Infrequently observed on the north coast but they're around, at least in good years. There are 5 species of chanterelle in my area and I think these might be the best, provided they dont get too muddy.
Central California anon here again... These were my other recent yet non-edible finds. A beautiful western jack o lantern I found in a canyon in big sur...
>>2851208And a big fly agaric
>>2851206Very nice
>>2851203shake my head gets 4chan auto changed to baka....that's a new one for me...
I thought these might be matsutakes and was very exited... Alas I got home to find out I was wrong
Where's the best state in the Midwest to look for (all kinds of) mushrooms? Wisconsin? Michigan? Somewhere else?
