Just inky caps and the orange phalus with brown goo.
It could be a Honey Mushroom as well.
Here is my thought process when it comes to eating wild mushrooms...
There are four local species which cannot be mistaken for anything else with basic mushroom hunting skills:
Morels (appearance)
Chicken Of The Forest/Sulfur Shelf/Chicken Mushroom (appearance, thick body and pores)
Maitake/Hen Of The Woods (autumn only, doesn't stain black)
Chanterelle (always in dirt, never on rotting wood) False Chanterelles look very similar, but their habitat is the opposite and will make you sick, but not hospital bound.
I won't chance it with anything else.
Do not take my info as being factual; do your own research. If you don't, you could get really sick.
I found a nice 3lb chicken of the woods today.
Any good recipes for them? I have cooked hen of the woods before but not chicken.

I mistook this for the Antimony thread.
Carry on.
I hit the mother load today. 2 trees with close 20lbs total.

That stuff looks nasty.
I wish I had the skills to ID the correct ones. My luck I'd kill myself.
My parents used to take us to pick mushrooms all the time, but they only things we gathered were morels and puffballs.
I was always taught that anything that grew on wood was unsafe or inedible... but judging by the photos that isn't the case?
Maybe its a regional thing... I grew up in the midwest. Perhaps the ones that grow on wood that are edible aren't found there.
Is that a false chanterelle?
