Scaly Vase Chantrelle
Gomphus floccosus

This mushroom is found during summer and autumn in mixed hardwood/conifers woods. However, it prefers the conifers. It is not a hard mushroom to identify and is either picked or avoided depending on the person. A significant number of people (Avoiders) become quite ill eating this mushroom. Gastrointestinal upsets occur about 8 - 14 hours after ingesting it. These upsets include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Warning: We suggest you avoid this mushroom if you do not know whether you are a picker or an avoider. The resulting illness and misery finding out which group you fall in is not worth it if you turn out out be an avoider.
