    I was out cutting firewood today in the national forest and we’ve had quite a bit of rain lately. I noticed a bunch of different mushroom species sprouting up that I’ve never noticed before. I know nothing about mushrooms at all other than the ones I buy at the grocery store, I can eat. But I thought they were pretty interesting. Maybe someone here might be able to help me identify them. I certainly would not eat them just from what someone on the Internet says, but I’m just curious about what types of mushrooms we have growing around here.

    The only ones I could identify are the puffballs. The two pictures with round mushrooms. They are edible in our area. I don't know about your area.

    Not good at IDing them.

    There's been an abundance of them sprouting in our yard. Some rather cool looking. We've had a wet Summer here in Southern New England.
