Mushrooms

I was still hunting my way back to one of my stands last night. We went through wet cold long spring followed by a short dry summer and now we're in the monsoon season. There were mushrooms everywhere. Puff balls and others I've seen before. Others I haven't.
I don't know nearly enough about mushrooms. The only ones I Harvest are morels.
I took some pictures of two different types. The colorful ones I've seen here before. Their kinda pretty but I'm guessing not something I want to bring home and feed the family.
The flattened out more drab type I don't recall seeing. They almost remind me of the type that grow like a shelf on the side of trees.

The top two pictures appear to be a Fly Agaric which are poison.
Don't know about the bottom picture.

Thanks Eric. I was pretty sure anything that looked that colorful was probably not a family treat.

Hard to be sure but the mushrooms in the third picture look like lactarius salmonicolor
They are orange with some green tint. They are pretty good eat when young.
Once they grow up they are usually heavily targeted by worms
Not sure if they are present in north america. If I remember correctly they're native of europe but they very well be part of the lactarii family
Once again dont trust me and make a triple check before eating mushrooms

Lactaris salmonicolor is possible but also a Russet stubble mushroom, but without a look to the underside I can say nothing exact.
The Fly agaric (amanita muscaria) is a sort of magic mushroom. The effect is described in Alice in Wonderland...

My book says the Fly Agaric tends to hallucinogenic in other countries but but is a gut buster for the most part in the US although you make have a hallucinogenic effect while you vomiting and spewing out the other end.

Well, that's only fair. If something is going to make me throw up, it ought to at least have the decency to give me a good show in the mean time.

Thanks everyone. I'm really probably not going to experiment with them. They do look pretty cool though. I think these are the ones I showed Frank a picture of and he told me that Santa's buttons were made from them.

The ones with the red spots are supposed to be “trippy”!
On the other hand, I am with BJ - I don’t pick anything other than
morels!

I like morels but please do not confuse the morels with the false morel (Gyromitra esculenta) and do not eat morels raw.
I don't eat amanita muscaria, I don't smoke it and I don't drink pee from reindeers that have eaten the mushrooms...I'm not a shaman.

AndrewS, do you have pics of the false morel? I don't recollect seeing any morels out here in Colorado, though. Thanks,

The orange ones look like Amanita Muscaria………..extremely poisonous .

I'm thinking the one on the right is morel. Left false. I honestly didn't know they were that similar.
I found these still hunting tonight.
