Agaricus Newbie

Agaricus Newbie (1/5)

  1. Some help with this one would also be appreciated, again found along a path of mostly hardwoods. The stem discolored to yellow when I cut it, and the pores are bruising to a dark, dark green. The cap is brown with a very faint reddish color. Since my primary interest in mushrooms is finding ones that are edible, I see in Michael Kuo's book "100 Edible Mushrooms" he mentions 'Boletes with yellow pore surfaces that bruise blue-especially those with...reddish-brown caps' are poisonous. Mine is close enough to this description for me to not ever want to try eating this one, specifically Kuo mentions Boletus fraternus as the primary offender for this category, but I can't find more info on this type. Thanks!
  2. I found this one along a path in mostly hardwoods but I can't seem to find a good match/description of it in my guides. Thanks for any help anyone can give!
  3. Thanks for everyone’s help, I made the recipie ‘chanterelles in brandy cream sauce’ from Michael kuos’ book 100 edible mushrooms, which is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend if your main interest is edible mushrooms, like mine. I would agree with kuos’ description that they have a meaty texture and a fruity flavor (although I was surely getting some taste of the apricot flavored brandy I used in the recipie).
  4. I'm sure these are Chanterelles, but since I'm new to this and these are the first I've found I'll follow protocol and ask for an expert confirm the identification before I cook any. Found on the ground under hardwoods. Could anyone give me the green light? Any recommendations on your favorite recipe? Maybe just a sauce to put on some steaks? Thanks!
  5. Here's another, found in a pine forest. Yellow cap with specs of brown, slightly up-turned margin, pores and spore print are olive. Stalk is short and has redish brown specs. I can't seem to find anything in my guidebook that precisely describes it, the closest description I found was the Yellow-cracked Bolete - Boletus Subtomentosus but the tubes don't descend the stalk and I don't see any notes about the redish brown specs on the stalk with the Boletus Subtomentosus. And after looking at more pictures and descriptions on mushroomexpert.com I definitely don't think that is it. Could anyone give any suggestions? Thanks!
  6. Could I have some help? I found a lot of these, often in groups of three to five in a pine forest. They were never more than about 4 in wide. Spore print is Yellowish brown (hard to tell from the picture, sorry) Below are a few species that I looked into: Silver Blue Milky, Lactarius Pradoxus - All elements of the description in my guidebook (Audubon) point to this species, even the note that bruising turns green, could someone with some expertise confirm? Blewit, Clitocybe Nuda - Was hoping it was this but I'm doubtful, the spore print doesn't match up, and I don't see anything about turning green on bruising. Indigo Milky, Lactarius indigo - the gills on mine are not dark blue, they are more like the 'dark wine-brown' color given in the description of the pradoxus, so probably not this type. What gives me hesitation about it being a Lactarius is that I don't see the latex, I'm new at this, do you always see the milky latex when handling a lactarius, or will they not show this if it has been somewhat dry for the past couple of days?
