I'd personally rather find any of those than deer mushrooms...

The chanterelles were a little beaten up and I left the shaggy manes since they are poisonous to people like myself (note beer caps in the background of #2).

Is that a lobster mushroom in #2?

That's the absolutely cleanest looking lobster I've ever seen. Mine always look dirty even after I've cleaned them. Maybe that's the difference between WA and NC.

It was basically buried to half way up the cap in cool damp clean moss when I found it. Almost stepped on it, it was so hidden.

Ahhh. We don't get going 'till mid November in Alabama.

I'm from WA I should know this. A number of years ago a friend of mine got married on opening day of general season. Most of the relatives showed up in real-tree and orange in protest.
