@david here is the Dryad's saddle that was on a stump by my bedroom window. I have seen this mushroom growing all around the property. Today, I finally decided it was time to pan fry one. It tasted pretty good and smelled of cucumber when raw. I only tried a few small pieces to see how my gut reacts to it. FWIW, Dryad's saddle is easy to ID and does not have any toxic lookalikes. I have read that its smart to try a small bit of a forged mushroom when first harvesting a new species.

@Oaktavia sweet! I find mushrooms kinda horrifying and beautiful. The underside of that one is great. What do/did you use to learn and identify?

I think these are more honey mushrooms that are growing on a tree root in my backyard. There are a couple dozen of them scattered around this larger cluster. They are pretty cool looking. I will not be eating these as the taste test a few weeks ago upset my stomach. And I only had one cap. If these are honey mushrooms, the caps are matured and opened anyway. They are better eating when young and closed still. There was a stick underneath them that had some white spores into it from this cluster, which ticks the honey box as well.
