<p>Got these on a one hour walk through the woods today. They should be peaking in a few weeks.</p>

As a fellow mycophile, I'm jealous. The only boletus I've eaten is the Slippery Jack; not many in my area.
But I know some awesome places to find Chicken of the Woods/Sulphur Shelf! They should be going strong!
Corey, aren't there a variety of boletes in NW Wisconsin woods, an hour or so from you? I have friends who collect them in Burnett County and I thought they were getting several species. I'm no mushroom expert, but I can certify that they've always been tasty.

Yeah, how could anyone not want to eat something that grows in the dirt and looks like that?
And is called a "Slippery Jack?" How could anyone not want to eat a good handful of fungus??
We really need a sarcasm font.
You guys go ahead and enjoy it, though...
Fishn sure is neat
[sarcasm]pppffff and you call yourself a European[/sarcasm]
Anyways, here's some more pics to gross you out..
Two-coloured boletes and larch boletes...
Coupla pounds of oyster mushrooms
Eli
Those red boletes good to eat Eli? Wicked flip knife.
mike b
Yeah the two-coloured boletes are good to eat. Not to be confused with the red-mouth boletes which will aquaint you with the toilet for the next 48 hours.
Eli
Mushroom time in T-minus 1, 2, 3 ... any time now. Can't wait.

Another mushroom hunter !
I found a redcapped bolete today. It has been a very dry summer up here, but some rain fell in the last few days - gotta check my spots. The oysters you found surprise me - I usually look for them later in the year.
That knife is awesome!

Came accross this patch of Big Laughing Gym before work today...
Didn't eat any. They induce uncontrolled laughter and other eratic behaviour. Could have made for a weird/career-ending day at work.
Eli
Found some chicken of the woods the other day while trout fishing. They were 20 feet up in a tree, and I had to find a long enough branch to poke them down. Will be looking out for more of these wonderful shrooms as we get into Fall!
20 feet up eh..I'm going to have to start looking up when foraging, not just down.
Eli
Kings, larches, two jacks, one lonely chanterelle, and I don't know what the ones are that the knife is pointing at. Never seen them before but my Polish co-worker assures me they're good to eat. Anyone care to guess what they are?
p.s. I've been fishing too, I swear. Just nothing report worthy
Eli
Hey Eli, Ken and I found these mushrooms growing in a lakeshore park in Toronto and thought you'd like to have a look. There were a lot of them!
Looks very toxic. White mushroom with a veil and bulb. Could be a destoying angle or some such thing.
Eli
Ya, you can see the veil in the first photo. Lots of white aminitas out there and lookalikes-- not all bad -- but some are extremely dangerous. Very hard to distinguish.
Did those mushrooms you were pointing to Eli have sponge gills or slits? Slimy cap? Looks like it might be Gomphidus subroseus -- edible, but hard to tell from photo.
mike b
Mushroom season has been an absolute disaster this fall in the NWT by the way. Didn't see one single edible on my hike to Bighill last weekend. Last year, I brought back nine pounds of hedgehogs.
mike b
Mike, no they have white sponges and a dry cap.
Too bad I don't have a specimen mature enough for a spore print. Closest thing I can come up with is Boletus variipes.
