Down here in KY too. After a year or so they are so soft, you can hardly pick 
them up:)

I've noticed numerous volunteer mushrooms on my various downed logs, but I'm 
not sure what kind they are. We love mushrooms too, but am reluctant to try 
any that I can't positively ID.

Sure wish I could find a local expert to walk the forest with me...but they 
seem to be rare down here.

Bye for now.   Frank
