Holy Mushrooms

orange mushrooms
Found these on a trail while running at Swallow Cliff

I love going for walks and exploring… Lucky for me, I don’t have to go far. I live in the woods! Look at some of these mushrooms found right in my backyard.

This guy was in my back yard.

puffball mushroom
These were also in my yard…

white mushroom
I guess they’re call Puffballs

I’ve lived here all 27 years of my life and have never seen these! They’re huge–and I guess edible if they are white all the way through…

Jaycee and I went on a mushroom hunt back in August. We found almost every color of the rainbow. It was fun! The ones you found are huge! I'd be afraid to eat any of them, though. Up here, there are several that look exactly alike, but one is edible and one is poisonous. Very cool, though!

I did not eat of them, as I am not comfortable with the risk... I really don't know enough about them. However, I found out later that my neighbor eats the Puffballs. As long as they are white all they way through, they are safe to eat... Next time we find these, maybe I'll give it a try! :)

We had big white mushrooms growing across the road this year, about the size of a vollyball. I had never seen them that big! I wonder what is making them grow so large this year?
