It is late May 2024 here for me in central Florida south of Orlando and they are just starting to pop under oak leaf litter after our first bit of spring rains. 10:04 thanks for sharing.
I found a some mushrooms a couple of weeks ago that meet all of these i.d. characteristic except that the smell quite sweet - a maple sweetness. I sliced them and dried them in the dehydrator. They now smell like maple & malted milk. Any thoughts?
Doesn't sound like this species we focus on here. These don't have that odor. Again, please don't eat, but go slowly and study them, and only eat once you've identified them correctly many times, and have confirmed they are edible. You probably have a species of Lactarius, but many of them are not edible. Keep us posted on what you learn.
Found quite a large patch of these growing in the front yard that kept popping out new ones from mid-August until the last week of September. Cool! 😎 Thanks! Edit: any reason you use a knife to cut them as opposed to just picking them? Does it help preserve the part (I forget the name) under the ground? Edit 2: Mycelium (under the ground)!
Cool that you have been finding these until now. What region are you in? I use a knife aiming for a clean cut, leaving dirt and debris behind. And yes, why not also leave the mycelium intact (the underground network of the mushroom).
@@DinaFalconi Ah! Explains why they're still here (they are still coming up actually but slowing down). Do Ringless Honey Mushrooms grow there and have you eaten them? If so, are they good? I have a field FULL of them every fall/winter!

Awesome video Dina! I'm in central Florida and found a basket of these today. Beautiful and delicious!

@@DinaFalconi I'm in North Florida. Jacksonville specifically. They're growing directly under a Live Oak and a couple of Water Oaks.
@@DinaFalconi What times of year do they appear for where you are?
Not sure why I didn't see this comment earlier. Thank you for your response. I see them here in NY in Mid Summer.

The latex will turn white paper yellow if left overnight.
Thanks for your comment. Good to know!
