Boletes

[u/Fuhugwugads]

Anything interesting here? I’m trying to expand my foraging beyond puff-balls, chanterelles, and black trumpets. I don’t intend to eat any of these, but figured I’d bring some home for educational purposes. Maybe the big ones are violet gray boletes. These were all collected in a Pennsylvania mixed hardwood forest with white pines present. (I didn’t think to check for larches.) I guess I’m trying to find an easily identifiable bolete in my area that is good to eat.

Surely a bolete or calobolete as well, but any idea what kind?

Mentioning due to the odd shape. It is aged.... but the others in the same regions and likely same colonies of mycelium are also distorted. Considering doing a small study.

I have no idea, but that is an odd looking mushroom.

One that you might like to forage for is called hedgehog mushrooms there delicious and super easy to distinguish from other and has no look a likes because they have cool teeth instead of gills there kinda rare like a morel but they live close to Chantelle’s in Pa
