I found this mushroom on dead poplar log out in the open. Smells good, which is my first test. Looked on the net, cant find anything that matches. Can anyone help identify please? Good to eat? Good to send the the ex to make soup out of? All suggestions received with pleasure and gratitude.

These two were the only firm ones, the rest were older and starting to get slimy. The flesh of this one is white right now, but older ones the flesh was a brown, similar to the bottom of the stem on the bigger one (see pic). Older ones not particularly slimy, but softer, flesh browning, not black. Brown spore print. Growing clean like a meadow mushroom, similar shape and veil coming off stem, not from a vulva like amanita. No vuvla flecks on cap.

Mushrooms can be nasty. A couple people die every year mis-identifying mushrooms. Good books at the library. If you don't know it, don't mess with it.

Ag canada has a publication online. Rather big, but might help.

The mushroom folks I know won't eat wild Mushrooms anymore. These folks are seasoned in the field but toxic mushrooms can colonize a safe mushroom and still poison you.

“There are bold mushroom collectors and there are old mushroom collectors, but there are no old, bold mushroom collectors.”

Found this quote while reading a Mushroom Article from the Vancouver Sun. lol
