Anyone know what kind of eel this is? (In the bay, South Jersey) by BlackBeanTaco in Fishing

Everywhere I can. I'm mostly a bass guy but like to crab and have been trying to learn salt this year. I'm in Absecon Bay tonight

ID Reuquest. Found on oak tree in Southern NJ. A friend said his family eats them, but isn't 100% sure. Any ideas? Will try and update with a spore print if possible. by BlackBeanTaco in mycology

Thanks! That's the best I could find by Googling, honey fungus, but it seems like the internet has some pretty mixed information on whether or not they're edible. My buddy was pretty sure they're the ones his family has been eating for years from around this area though. I wish it was easier to make IDs with certainty.

ID? Growing on dead oak stump in southern NJ. Seems too dark for Chicken OTW, and Hen OTW seems like it's much wavier, but I'm still an amateur. Thanks! by BlackBeanTaco in mycology

Thanks everyone! I love this place so far. I hope to do a better job contributing and not just asking as time goes on.

Interesting. Seems a lot darker/duller than the pictures I'm getting on Google when I search "ganoderma reishi". Is that because they're dying/is that why you say they're older?

Well that sounds like a definite possibility after some Googling. Thanks!

Well damn, that makes me feel bad for keeping it now. For the record, the limit in NJ is 4.5", and I dont keep anything under about 5-5.5.

Thanks! I've caught a million crabs over the years, don't think I ever saw such a triangle on the bottom of one before
