Fall is great for mushrooms

I'll be starting up "foraging Friday" again next Friday. It will feature mushrooms. As of now I haven't identified all of them, although I have identified a few as I've been foraging for mushrooms on the property.

Fall mushroom soup

One of my favorite soups is called fall mushroom soup. It's basically cream, nutmeg and a few other spices combined with preferably at least 3 varieties of fresh local mushrooms. I've been craving it again as the colder weather always makes me want soup. I've been trying to identify all the quality mushrooms on my property so I know which ones I can add to my soup. Here are some pictures of the most recent ones I found on a walk.

Happy Friday! : ))

Have you identified any of these mushrooms? I'm certainly no expert, but I do know that a lot of mushrooms in the Pacific Northwest that look good, and taste good, are actually deadly to humans. You can't tell a mushroom is safe just by ensuring it looks, smells, and tastes appealing. I also know that the best forager isn't the one who eats the most safe mushrooms, it's the one who eats the least dangerous mushrooms.

As for the first photo, these are a common fungus found in the region. I have a bunch on my back lawn right now, and see them on walks all the time. They look a bit like the magical "liberty cap" mushroom, but they don't have a curvy stem, nor do they have a pointed cap, nor do they have black gills. This is a great guide for identifying liberty caps.

I like that last gray thing... is that a lichen?
