I spend the morning foraging for lobster and hedgehog mushrooms, and found quite a few. Here is some video…
When you find lobster mushrooms, they are often half buried in the forest duff, and can look dirty and unappetizing. If it is scarlet red and not a deeper red and if the flesh is firm, it is usually good for the table. Clean the mushroom vigorously under running water. A toothbrush can help. Then slice it into eighth inch thick slices. Next cut away anything that isn’t white or red and is not firm.
