In this video, I show off a few mushrooms I enjoy finding in the fall in the Southeastern US. Edible mushrooms: 1. Laccaria ochropurpurea, a purple and conspicuous mushroom that's abundant. 2. Hedgehog mushrooms in Hydnum Subgenus Alba. Hedgehogs are yummy, and the fall is a good time to find a few of the 16 (or so) species of Hydnum species that grow in the eastern United States. 3. Purple-spored puffball, Calvatia cyanthiformis. This mushroom and its relative Calvatia craniiformis are common in grassy areas with the arrival of cooler weather. Mushrooms I don't eat: 1. Scleroderma species, aka poison pigskin puffball. I call it Scleroderma citrinum in the video, and I am now questioning the species ID, but it's a Scleroderma in any event. You don't want to eat these rugged-on-the-outside, black-and-squishy in the inside mushrooms. 2. "Cortinarius" species. The Cortinarius genus is in the process of being reorganized, so I don't trust any of the names I know anymore. However, if you see a mushroom with rusty-brown gills and some webby material on the stem or cap, it's most likely a Cort. 3. Gymnopous dryophilus. A cute little fellow with tightly packed white gills and a sort of greasy fawn-brown cap. One of the mushrooms you can find nearly year-round in the Southeast.
