Well the conditions have been right for almost a week here with lots of rain and highs around 80 or less and lows in the upper 50's. I took these pics on my property, most within a couple hundred feet of the house. As you can see we're heavily forested and damp as noted by the moss. We get little sun too which also keeps it cool here even on warm days. ET

Identifying edible mushrooms is not a task to be attempted without serious study. Most fungi produce a variety of toxins (mycotoxins) some of which are very potent and are particularly damaging to the liver! I have seen cases where one meal resulted in a liver transplant! Others may just make you barf your guts out. Search Google, there's lots of info:-)
