Found the mother load of chicken of the woods. Other side of tree was loaded too. Unfortunately most were a bit old. Picked 2 more sheepshead and left 5 to grow.

Nice!

I wish I had sheepshead in my area.

What are these?

[fishogger]

I would say they are shaggy manes.

I agree. Shaggy mane or AKA Inky Cap. These are edible however I have never eaten them and I do know that you CANNOT drink alcohol if consuming these mushrooms or they become toxic to your liver even days after. There are 2 species and the Coprinus comatus species is the shaggy mane. Coprinus atramentarius has a smoother cap and is the one that will really get you with some booze. However, i have read reports that both species should be avoided if you consume alcohol.

IF you do or do not eat them, can you cut one in half and take a picture?  I would love to see what that looks like.

[Raquettedacker]

I will pick one and slice it up  when i get home....
Guess i wont pick any to eat if i cant have a beer with them....

[fishogger]

they only last a day or so.  they turn to black "ink" hence the name.

I just picked four before reading this . And I was gonna try them but had already been drinking so I guess I won't be eating any lol and thanks for the heads up on that !!

Anyone tell me what these are ?

[abishop]

Look like buttons that are a bit old already. No expert just my 2 cents. The 1 small one closest to your thumb is still a good one.

Anyone tell me what these are?

Compare to ringed honey mushrooms.

[Raquettedacker]
