I ate a bunch of mushrooms in high school but I'm not much on eating them any more.

I have never found any, but I want to try some.

I found a place last year that was a carpet of chanterelles as far as you could see.
That’s gold right there!

I see some cool shrooms when in the woods and wish I knew more about properly
identifying the edibles.
I"ll still have access to it. I'll get some pictures. I took some last year, but apparently they didn't make it into the backup files.
Spring sorrells are very tastey wild edibles...

Those are some nice chickens. Congrats. I mostly harvest morels and chanterelles. I've found some chicken-of-the-woods and hen-of-the-woods in north Georgia. I tend to find more morels from around Laurens County and up toward Ware Shoals. Slaya and I found a few small ones up that way. I'm sure there are morels around here closer I just haven't found them. I've only found 2 fresh lion's manes and I consider that a blessing. Those things were awesome. They have a hint of seafood and with the texture it's like eating scallops. I have a friend in Arkansas that found a huge one on a river birch near a swamp. He sent me the picture of it that afternoon wanting to know what it was. I convinced him to back and get it and fry it up. Now he hunts the darn things specifically. That's a mistake cause that's when you never see one.
The other good thing about the lion's mane is there are no dangerous look-alikes so if you find anything in the Hericium family you can eat it.
Other than that strawberries, poke salad, blackberries, dewberries and lowbush blueberries (wild) are mostly it. I do use wild onions for flavor in my poke salad, it takes about ¼ of what you'd use in domestic onions.

Yup...you can tell by my list that I go for the “no real look alike” varieties. I am a bachelor this week, and despite this never ending %*%#*#^* mother-^%^**%* weather, I hit the woods looking for anything today. I found some wood’s ear...a jelly shroom. Supposedly has no poisonous look alikes, and has bad cholesterol lowering, mild anticoagulant effects and other mysterious heart benefits. They are often present in Asian soups. They look like some huge pre-historic creature sneezed and blew brown snot lugies on a dead tree...but I’m going to give em a go. I’ll post pics when I get home...having a big fat bachelor NY Strip and ~60 oz of ice cold draft coors lite at the steakhouse at this time!
Merg...I’m freaking hooked on this sh!t, and Lion’s Mane is a must this year!
Yeah I kinda stick to the easy ones too. If I have to do spore prints and such I don't fool with it. But the easy ones like puffballs and those I've mentioned in the other post I'll collect and eat in a heartbeat. I've never tried the jelly fungus. I've found witches butter and woods ear several times but it doesn't look inviting to me. If it's good let me know and I may try it.
This guy has a great site and he breaks down the IDing, tasting and smells down real good. I've been using it for a reference for several years.

Now he doesn't tell you about edibility or toxicity but he does show how to positively ID. There are several mycology forums out there focused on eating or photographing shrooms.

Morels and turkey season go hand in hand.
Im not so enthused about eating these, but I'm going to give them a shot in some hot and sour soup. If you never hear from me again, don't eat stuff that looks like this!
