What you got is most likely death caps and will kill you. These mushrooms are very hard and firm.

[deckhandmike]

You must know your stuff! I'm still too scared to eat anything but chanterelles. White mushrooms scare me.

[G-Man WC]

Yes especially small white ones.
Scared of picking the death caps myself.
My grandparent came from the old country and
though that leaving a silver dime soaking overnight
in shroom/water would make them safe.
Wrong. They had a friend die and they stopped picking.

Good for you! I'm not up on my mycology so I don't eat anything but turkey tails myself. But I'm glad that you found a bunch of something that you know. I try to learn what I can because I've seen deer practically stake-out mushroom growing areas -- they love them and will sample almost any mushroom. Some are just good eatin' too. Awesome!

My backyard has green vomiters.

deathcaps are almost perfectly round and don't have the same root structures as matsutakes. these mushrooms are extremely firm to the touch.

this is X1 hunting zone and i saw a ton of deer droppings. in the spring morels will pop up and nobody would mistake a morel for anything else.

You should read up about false morels before making that assumption.

Tamalpais, you've got a lot more guts than I have.

When I was researching the "Animal Testing" issue, I read that deer & rabbits eat all types of wild mushrooms that are deadly to humans - has no affect on them.

[yoteassasin]

Chantrells, morels and bolets only for me..

[DaveInOroValley]

I just don't trust myself to pick the right ones so mine are all supermarket bought.

[rivraton]

Are these good to eat?

Liver & Kidney transplant, anyone??
