many blue like that here are poisonous or will get you sick. ive heard of indigo milkcaps and probably have seen some but when i see that blue i leave them alone. wood blewits are the exception but theyre more purple. i grow them out of my compost. they come up in early oct. here.
Around here, black trumpets share habitat with cinnabars. Eroded banks, moss, beech trees. They are way harder to spot, you look for the round black centers.

I usually discover that I’ve been walking past dozens of them once I finally spot that first one. So hard to see until you’re looking from just the right angle!

All mushrooms are edible, sometimes only once.

The county extension office told me to bring in the mushrooms and they would be happy to tell me what they are or send them off to get them named so I’m going to take in three different types just to be on the safe side.

The county extension office confirmed the thoughts, they are chanterelles and the blue ones are indigo milk cap. I don’t think I’m going to even try the milk cap when I have so many chanterelles.

I’ve only eaten a couple of indigos… I’ve mostly been bringing those I find in my woods home and attempt ‘seeding’ them into shady, treed areas in my yard. But… they were good.
I probably find 100 or more chanterelles for every indigo milkcap.
