This is a first time I came across one of these and what a weirdo. I found it initially and it had the mother of all volv.........universal veils.

I let it pop and I ended up with a big beautiful white mushrooms. They say it is edible but the whole growing out of the sack grossed me out on this one so I passed.

Ah, yes, I've had the canned ones! They're pretty tasty. I tried a deer mushroom once, when I found one that wasn't yet full of bugs..it was okay, but very skippable.

Deer Mushrooms look so big until you cut them up and realize the cap is 90% gills and the tiny bit of flesh cooks down to nothing ๐Ÿ˜ญ
