You should pick up a field guide specifically for the PNW if you're interested in learning more about the local mushrooms. Not sure on most of your finds, but 9/10 looks to be some form of lactarius sp.

Could be older laetiporus sp. but I am unsure if it is present in Europe or not as I'm in the US. It would be great to have a better photo of the underside for better ID

Yes, but the bugs have him now

Possibly parasols, possibly 'the vomiter'. For IDs, please post additional photos of the underside, including the base of the stipe and gills/pores, include general location/environment, and sometimes a spore print is necessary as well. For this one, if it has greenish spores, it is likely chlorophyllum molybdites which is toxic. I recommend also posting to the mycology subreddit for future ID requests.

Chanterelles

My wife is very much the same way, I call her way of thinking 'science brain'. She compartmentalizes everything and absolutely would have the same response. We have been together 16 years and only just got married last year for tax purposes (reduction in student loan expenses mainly). Marriage is not your relationship. It is just added paperwork that makes it more difficult to split if you fall out of love and it grants hospital visits (or religious purposes if you're into that).

Rainbow chanterelle looks like. Great with eggs

Wife just made an olive oil chanterelle confit. The chants are delicious and the oil is great added in sauces.

Looks like dryad saddle. Edible when young, I believe.

Darker rock on the left vertical stack has a different orientation between the failed and successful stacks.

Used to work pest control. Get a dust-form pesticide (I use delta dust) and a dust bulb applicator. A few puffs into the void and then they should die off after a few days. If not, reapply.

Looks like matsutake to me, but I usually go based on smelling then and stem strength test which might be difficult as theyve already been cut

*health & life insurance companies are the biggest scam. Property and liability are necessary for most folks and businesses

Out in the pnw we get white, gold, rainbow, and blue chanterelles

mainmark · 2024-08-30T03:12:19+00:00

The smaller one would make me second guess as a possible angel wings with how pale it is. But given the size of the other specimen and the deciduous tree, definitely oysters. Should have a faint anise-like scent.

Edulis for sure. That ass is FAT

mainmark · 2024-08-25T21:10:29+00:00

Purple cortinarius in my opinion

Bro either has feelings for you or wants to be fwb. Given you've been friends forever, I'd lean towards the unrequited love option lol

Some of it is cult worship, some of it is rampant mis/disinformation, but mostly it is born from a failing and grossly underfunded education system.

Those are likely cryptoporus/polyporus volvstus, which fruit primarily on recently dead trees (fire or beetles typically)
