I found a big bunch of shrooms today, and they was as big as small dinner plates, stood a foot easy. they was golden yellow on the top, then in the center they was a rusty red. the gills was all white. good find or not?

i will guess not. the more a mushroom looks like a "mushroom" the harder it is to identify. and usualy there are others that look very similar. the only diffrence could be one has a pinkish purple spore and one has a purplish pink spore. one will be good and the other will have you taking a dirt nap.

a pic would help though.

Thanks for the post, Im old and dont do pics, Ill just leave them be. need to get me a picture book of shroooms.

Try and find one with real pics. One I have is just hand drawn pics. Not real helpful.

Pick up The National Autobaun's Guide to North American Mushrooms. It's THE mushroom identification guide anyone into fungi should have.

Gil...I would rather have you alive and well than with a full belly and out roaming the grave yard at night.

I still need to catch you regarding badgers.

Some things have me holding tight to home. But I still want to catch one.
