Oyster Mushroom: This mushroom grows on wood. It is also a 'choice edible' .

Hen of the Woods:  This mushroom grows in the Autumn and is seen only on Oak trees.  It is another mushroom belonging to the polypore family.  A typical Hen of the Woods would top at about 10 lbs.  I have collected one that was closer to 20 lbs!

Sulfur Shelf: This hard to miss mushroom grows on wood.  It is also called the Chicken Mushroom because of it's similar taste to chicken. It belongs to the polypore family and has many pores on the underside instead of gills. It ranges from salmon color to bright orange on top and yellow underneath and along the outer edges. It can be found from mid summer through autumn.

Bolete: This mushroom grows on the ground.  It does not have any gills on the underside of the cap.  It is a mushroom that belongs to the polypore family. Polypore's have many pores under the cap. The cap resembles a hamburger bun.

Pair-Shaped Puffball:  One of a few edible varieties of Puffball mushroom which grow on decaying wood and is about the size of a nickel.  It is edible while it is still creamy white inside.  As this mushroom ages and dries, it develops a whole on top with greenish-brown spores that when squeezed emit a puff of smoke.  It can be mistaken with the Poison Pigskin Puffball (which as the name implies is poisonous) quite easily and should only be used if trained in the proper identifying characteristics.

Giant Puffball: This mushroom can be cooked and fried like a steak. It absorbs the flavor of whatever you add to it. Check freshness by cutting open and ensuring that it is white and solid (like a marshmallow) without any decaying parts. Anything other than white is an indication of age and you may be too late to harvest. This one was bigger than a basketball !

Shaggy Mane: This mushroom grows on grass or woodchips and is considered a 'Choice Edible'. It is white with redish brown scales and a hollow stem. When it decays the cap turns inky (liquifies) and only the stalk remains.

Chanterelle: This mushroom is shaped like a funnel. It sometimes grows in great abundance. Beware of its poisonous look-a-like the Jacko-lantern..

Comb Tooth: This mushroom is a relative of Bearded Tooth mushroom.  It can be found on wood and grow to a very large size.  Be sure to also look high up on trees, just in case it has decided to plant itself high up on a tree.
