You sure know a lot about mushrooms, Marnie.
Father taught me when I was little. I once brought home three bags full of mushrooms. You should’ve seen the look on my mother’s face!

Honey Mushrooms (Armillaria mellea group) in Chantry Flats. When we arrived, we assumed someone had picked the caps off the mushrooms to the right. But the caps were actually strewn around the area…which makes me think someone stepped on them :’(
While this is a parasitic species (possible motive for the shroom-stomping?), it’s also a delicious edible comparable to shiitake when stir-fried. The stalks are very fibrous so most people only eat the caps (hence why we thought someone only wanted the caps ^)
Though the species can vary in appearance (color, shape, cap stickiness/aka viscidity, or manner of growth) there are some consistent key features (taken from David Arora’s Mushrooms Demystified):
“1) the presence of a veil
2) the tough, fibrous stalk
3) frequent presence of small dark hairs on the cap
4) the bitter taste when raw (some people, however, are unable to detect it)
5) the growth on wood (thought it may be buried)
6) the white or faintly yellowish spores (in any mature cluster the lower caps will be covered with white spore dust)”
*you can see the little cap “hairs” better in the last picture
