   Pretty sure this was a Frost's Bolete, bruised blue with an olive spore print and everything. It was covered in little mites or something, and I wasn't 100% on the ID, so I didn't try, but she's a beaut. any possible look alikes?

Think I just found some, I'm in northwestern Virginia by the way, near Franklin, WV. I have no experience with chanterelles IRL but aside from not having ridges, these seem to match the description. I think they might be a bit too old as the tops and gills are a little cracked/flaking/slashed looking in some areas, but they seem to fit the profile. Texturally, they're very sturdy and smooth, feel similar to chicken of the woods. And I believe I caught a whiff of that apricot/fruity smell when I picked them. Found at the foot of an old oak.    Thoughts? Also found what I believe to be a slimy violet cort:    Stringy mucus from touching the cap. Almost looked like a plastic Easter egg from that color. And I think I caught a glimpse of some rusty red spores on the stem. E: not sure what this one could be but maybe someone here will know. growing on a dead branch

COOKIE DELIGHT posted:Quick hike in central Texas following a big storm yesterday morning. Found what I'm nearly certain is a COW growing from a tree root just at the soil line. my go-to is to bread and fry the layers like you would a chicken cutlet (perfect size and shape) and make a fried chicken of the woods sandwich on brioche  with pickles or kimchi Very jealous of the great find!!! I'll be looking this weekend.
