Most of the pictures of mushrooms posted in this thread are not edible. Don't go picking unless you know what you're looking for or are with someone that does. Also go for what is commonly picked and learn how to identify just those. Don't worry about identifying everything that might be edible unless you're really into mycology. A couple edible mushrooms for dinner isn't worth making a mistake with identification.

I'll probably never get out there with a shroom pro, but do you recommend any books? I like the old Audubon books a lot of us grew up on. I was thinking about picking up one of those. I'd look specifically for chicken of the woods or chanterelles because i know of people finding them around here.Most of the pictures of mushrooms posted in this thread are not edible.

And those are easily identified. No taking spore prints, etc... One of the safer ones for a novice to pick.

I have not seen any of those yet.
We had lots of ghost pipe stands this summer. I've always liked finding those. I'll look into them for medicinal uses. We have a lot of birches on the property as well so I'll have to research chaga.

I've been meaning to start a thread on lion's mane. I've heard it might be beneficial fighting demetia/alzheimers which runs in my wife's family. I'd like to stack it with psilocybe and possibly chaga but from what little I've researched it looks like a substantial amout of LM needs to be ingested. Not sure it would fit in a pill. Maybe a tea like chaga. I can only imagine what that chaga tea tastes like lol

This one is good for here in the PNW. Most mushrooms are found all over but there are some that are found in specific regions.
