I love easily identified morels, chanterelles, boletes, clavarias, hen-of-the-woods, chicken-of-the-woods, suillus and certain puff-balls.
A few of my favorite, local, easy-to-identify, edible and delicious mushroom species include the wood hedge hog (Dentinum repandum), hen of the woods (Polypilus frondosus) often on old tree stumps and mature oak stands; sulphur shelf or chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) growing on stumps and trunks; Boletus pictus (under white pines); Suillus granulatus (usually under white pines); Boletus edulis (under conifers); and the coral mushrooms - Clavaria cinerea, under pines.
