Man I wish I could gather these but in my region it has a really similar, dangerously poisonous mimic. I don't trust myself to tell them apart :(
Out of curiosity, what's the lookalike?
Yeah, I feel you. I've been seeing these for years and just didn't feel confident enough in my skills to eat them until this year. Now I don't think I could mistake them for much else. I do still check each one, there were some Hypholoma sp. growing pretty close to these, not incredibly similar but enough to keep you on your toes.
