Hoping some of you here are interested in talking about other edible mushrooms! We found 2 lbs of chicken today, our first harvest [as far as we know] from an eastern hemlock. We believe it's Laetiporus huroniensis, and have just done our test taste. 
Other mushrooms we like to forage are pheasant-backs, chanterelles, black trumpets, hens, honey mushrooms, hericium species, and chaga. So far, we've stayed away from boletes and some others because we don't have enough knowledge of them to be comfortable trying. We often find coral mushrooms, but can't quite figure them out!
Thought I'd include a couple pics of our dinner prep from the night before last: pheasant-backs, some already cooked in the bowl, plus the remaining cooking in butter in the skillet. Husband added a couple of eggs and some soy chunks reconstituted in broth. He also made a cheese sauce to top it all off, which included carmelized onions, garlic, and fresh rosemary and thyme from our garden. I was too hungry to get a pic of our plates, but it was yummy.
I'd love to hear and see what you all come across, as well as what you do to identify/prepare, etc.
