It’s full on fungi fun around here this time of year.

It is a good year for mushrooms.

I was surprised to see these growing on some cedar trees yesterday.

Found this guy the other day

Hey, I texted you the answer! I think..

 

[stevebradford]

Will you eat it with me! You first! Hah!

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

I think I've seen it before labelled as edible but I would have to ID it first.

 

[Carson Hardy]

I'd eat it.

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Clavulina cristata - edible but tough. Not as tough as Steve or Carson.

 

[Carson Hardy]

I think it's a herecium of sorts

I’d go with Hericium coralloides, edible and choice when fresh, with no poisonous lookalikes in BC. They prefer deciduous trees in my area Acer macrophyllum (Bigleaf maple) and Quercus garryana (Garry Oak). It’s a very fine day when you find Hercium on Salt Spring as the out of control deer population usually gets them first. It’s also got some pretty cool potential medicinal and preventative disease properties.
