| General Information: | Ok - Found five of these under pines. Suillus or Bolete? Not Bitter, smells mild, no staining at all, sport print like a cinnamon color with some yellow, stem solid. The tops are dry, but get just a bit slimy when I add a little water (but then dry right up again). Picture doesn't do a good job with the yellows. I'm sure they're edible, but my OCD wants to know the species. Enlighten me Fungus King! | ||

| Morels Found: | yes | ||

| Other Mushrooms: | puffballs, polypores | ||
| General Information: | Found these today in my yard pretty much in the open where grass is sparse. Near a white pine and a magnolia grandiflora. Would never have seen them because most had been bitten by frost, but my cat was eating on older one. I know - strange cat. These were the only two fresh ones. Are these red cap russela and are they edible? | ||
| Chris' Comments: | Could be Russula emetic, poisonous. There are edible dark red russulas, but I would have to examine in person to tell the difference.. | ||
