What Do I Have Here?

[jdmidwest]

I was looking at the yard Monday and noticed the usual fungus growth had taken a new look.  Normally this time of the year I see Boletes and various other mushrooms that I would not really like to eat.

But these caught my eye.  I picked a bag of them to take to work the next morning, I have a mushroom expert that hangs around there.  Looks like I have Chantrelles growing in my yard under my Pin Oaks and around where some Poplars died out a few years ago.  Lots of them.  I have others, but they look all greasy and nasty, boletes I think.  Don't even look like something I would put in my gut.

Very likely to be a bolete. Not sure of the species. We have been finding a lot of boletes this year and I am really poor at their ID.

Bolete, maybe Suilius, not one to eat.

Looking at the mushroom book, the first pic and all in the bad are common chantrelle. The third is a bolete, pores instead of gills.

I have not eaten any, too far gone for me. Maggots on them. 

That is why I stick to morels, easy id.

There are several different Boletes, some good to eat some not.  I have been eating some that grow in my front yard, they will get as large as a dinner plate almost, very spongy looking layer under cap instead of the gills, will leave a blue mark within moments of touching the underside.  Also not that the stem has some worm holes in it.  Anyway they are absolutely delicious, last one I slice about 1/4 inch thick and sautéed, had a little bit of a meaty texture and flavor was fabulous.

   JD,

I really wish you would look a bit closer at your mushrooms. All though you are not going to eat these because of the bugs I have never seen chanterells with stems like these you have pictured. Stems look separated from the caps. Gills are really distinguished and have never seen concentric rings on the caps.  There is a plethora of information out there on mushroom ID. I reference several times  second guessing myself. Would rather be 110 percent positive before tasting one.

 Just looking out for a fellow forum member,

Are y'all really this hard up for food ?

Stop this nonsense and just drop by around lunch or dinner time.  I'll gladly feed you something 100% safe.

Lunch happens around 12:30, and dinner about 7:30pm. (yes I know.....Nobody else eats that late) 

Pumpkin pie can happen anytime. They put that stuff in cans where it's alot easier to deal with, for like .40 cents.  

If my "garden" produces a pumpkin we can either make a jack-o-lantern or explode it with a slug gun.  Sounds way more fun than harvesting that slime for a pie.
