My book says absolutely NOT for Rosy and Reddish Russulas, yes for Shrimp Russula if you can positively identify it. I say don't bother, its not worth getting intestinal sickness...

I pop on here and live vicariously through you guys, so please keep it up. I've been wrapped up in a home remodel for the last 6 months, but it goes up for sale on Friday FINALLY! So hopefully I can contribute to the forum soon...
Good Luck out there.

What's the consensus on red russula? Some books, and posts say NO, others say YES. I t took a small bite out of one and spit it out. Quite spicy. Nothing else. Thoughts?
I always just call them Red Devil Russula....I know there are some like the shrimp. But I avoid them all, not worth it and I'm a novis even after doing this 15 years.

Great pics! I'm planning to take my boy to one of my favorite August spots on Saturday. He's 3 and its finally time for him to hike with me! I've been so busy for the last 6 months that he's pretty excited to have some Dad time finally. Hopefully my spot has had enough rain to make it worth while. Plus, I still need to hike my property, which I haven't done all summer. Good luck out there!

It’s a wetland area I have by my house. It’s dry this year so I’m lucky. Lots of ferns also. Not the normal mossy ground like I find them other places. I’ll try and get out again this week and take more of a picture showing surrounding and the like.
Would love to see some pics

Color is all wrong for a chicken of the woods. Hard for me to tell if it's a polypore or toothed fungus. I think it could be northern tooth. Went back and re-read your post. If the underside is like hedgehog, then it is a toothed fungus, and I'm confident that it is northern tooth. Not poisonous, but considered inedible due to bitter flavor and tough texture.

Not arguing about it, but i have seen chicken of the woods very cream color.
