Here are some fungi I found on my road trip to Ohio for this #fungifriday by @ewkaw
Here is a plain looking one but it is rare and interesting. It is called the Grey Knight.
The Grey Knight is edible in France... But here they recommend not eating it because it has a toxin in it that can cause your flesh to rot. I suspect it has trace amounts of the toxin and if you ate them every day you might get poisoned. The Latin name is Tricholoma terreum.
I suspect this is a beech rooter.
The Latin name is Hymenopellis furfuracea and they have a long stem that goes down deep in the ground. Supposedly the caps are edible but I'm wary of eating white mushrooms like this as there are too many poisonous lookalikes.
These poor souls are mica caps aka Coprinellus micaceus.
They are a type of edible ink cap. Sadly they can only be boiled as they will melt if pan fried. Their taste and texture isn't the greatest so I've only ever cooked them a couple times. The main thing to note after eating these is to abstain from alcohol as it will interact with a toxin in these mushrooms which will cause a terrible stomach ache.
Here is a bit of a mangled bolete growing in pine needles.
I got to it too late to test staining and worms completely ate the stem. So I suspect this is the midwestern pine bolete aka Boletus subcaerulescens. Technically it is edible if you can find it soon enough before the worms get to it.
This appears to be a cluster of mycenas.
The slight peachy orange to them might suggest something similar to Mycena leaiana.
Though I suspect it has some obscure Latin name as Mycena leaiana is way more orange.
Now for one of my favorite mushrooms. This is crown tipped coral aka Artomyces pyxidatus. They have a great taste of harvested before they start turning brown. They have a rich mushroom flavor and great almost pasta like texture. Sadly I rarely find them at the right time or in the amount to make a good meal out of them. This example already has brown tips and if you harvest it, it will be really bitter tasting.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
