Taken this morning near Danford Lake, Quebec. I’m no mycologist, so I have no idea what these are. But I do enjoy taking their picture :)

    Those are oyster mushrooms, a tasty culinary delight, but must be cooked first. They won’t get you high though.

      My audobon guide seems to agree that they are oysters. I am just overly careful and would never take the time to do a spore identification, so I will just leave them for the chipmunks to nibble on.

      No, these are Tapinella atrotomentosa.

      Not really edible. They aren’t toxic tho, they just taste sour-bitter-meh. That’s why they were used as a famine-mushroom. “Rather eat those than die of starvation”.

        Oh yeah looks like it. They look very similar though. Obviously it’s best not to consume any wild mushrooms unless you know exactly what they are.
