  1. Welcome to NW4aGr and natvik. There are more and more people from the PNW joining here all the time. I used to live in the PNW so am pretty familiar with mushrooms and foraging there, actually more so than east coast and midwest since most of my foraging was west of the Mississippi and Rockies. I am in SW Florida now where we have lots of oddities but not so many gourmet edibles. Always a trade off.
  2. I asked David Arora and he says he doesn't know a lot about cup fungi, but thinks perhaps it is "Sarcoscypha, perhaps S. dudleyi, but I know very little about cup fungi. The white underside is what makes me think Sarcoscypha."
  3. CajunShroomer, would you mind if I borrowed your photos to show some people to try and get an ID? Also, I need an idea of scale. How big is this? And where in the US is this located? All key things in getting an ID.
  4. Welcome aboard, Synesthesia! Happy to have you here.
  5. Hi! Welcome to the forum. For future posts, it is very, very helpful to us if you can take photos of the mushrooms in situ, meaning where they grow. It is helpful also to see the habitat where they are growing. One it is removed from its habitat, it is less easy to do and ID, but you have shown us the top of the cap, underside and stipe which is very necessary. European names are going to be somewhat different than American names as they are all changing now with the ability to run dna tests. Your samples are either too old or just are not exhibiting any latex from the gills. I has the appearance of a Lactarius but I can't say for sure which one. It is not Lactarius deliciosus. Have a look at this page and see how it compares to what you have there. http://www.first-nature.com/fungi/lactarius-aurantiacus.php
  6. Gosh, thank you, Scott! Dave, I don't know the identity of that cute little velvety bolete. I will have to go back and look on my facebook page to see if I ever got an ID suggestion on that one. I've never even heard of L. yazooensis. Just looked up that bolete on my fb and no guesses. Even Bill Yule didn't know, so there you have it. Another of those Florida mystery boletes.
  7. Welcome to the forum, djg. We also have a facebook group by the same name. There are lots of helpful and friendly people here, so I'm sure you'll feel right at home.
  8. Hi Mark...welcome to the club. I think we are all in the same boat for sure.
  9. It's Boletellus, John......Look for Spanish mackerel and false albacore in the coastal gulf. Trout, blues, mangrove snapper and more should be good options on deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay.
  10. I have been hoping I would find at least one of these so I could see it in person and photograph it. My wishes came true yesterday. I found Boletellus ananas, the pineapple bolete. It is know in the SE US and Australia and NZ. One of my coolest mushroom finds since I moved to Florida. Also in the same place where I found the Boletellus, I found these Russula mariae which I've never found before either. I know they are fairly common up north, just a new one for me.
  11. The guy who bought this package of mushrooms with his wife, is Bryn Dentinger. He is now the head of mycology at Kew Botanical Garden in UK. He is the same person who did the dna sequencing on my Montana Boletus edulis for David Arora a few years back when he was still at U of O in Eugene.
  12. We are getting more rain here too, but we get nice sun breaks for several hours which allows things to soak in and dry. Not like last summer when the ground here was super saturated. No flooding here...yet! I am just in the last two days finding lots of freshly popped Strobilomyces floccopus. Nice unopened little ones. I will have to try them.
  13. Let's refer to them by their scientific names so there will be no mistaking. The yellow ones on the collander are Laetiporus sulphureus and I agree, they are past their prime. When they flatten out like that, they get dry and tough and woody.
  14. I was going to say Entoloma also and I agree with L. hygrophoroides
  15. Except for the fact we don't have a whole lot of choice edibles this far south. There have been a few sightings of Boletellus ananas which I would love to find myself. John, Bessette/Roody says, olive-brown spore print, solitary, scattered or in groups in sandy soild in oak or oak/ pine woods, NJ south to FL and west to TX. Pore surface yellow at first, becoming dull yellow to olive yellow and depressed near the stipe in age. Blueing when bruised, pores irregular.
  16. There are so many of these mushroom popping up right now, it is making it hard for me to drive my car. My eyes can't keep from scanning the grass!
  17. Hi MasonClark93, Welcome to the forum. Folks here are real friendly and helpful. Feel free to post photos and comment on other people's posts. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Enjoy!
  18. Boletus rubricitrinus, such colorful little boletes! AND they are edible. I'm going to have to give them a try this year.
  19. Well, speaking of Boletus rubricitrinus, look what I encountered today. They are EVERYWHERE!! After I saw these, I found more at the post office when I went to get my mail. They are considered edible so I'm going to try some tonight.
  20. Those boletes are probably Boletus rubricitrinus which I find a lot of here in SW FL
  21. You need to be careful about collecting mushrooms from a golf course, as they use a lot of chemicals on golf courses and these mushrooms could easily have absorbed them.
  22. Yes, Cantharellus cinnabarinus. Nice find.
