Just got back from Poland...
Rondayvous replied to Rondayvous's topic in General Mushroom Discussion
The pictures were taken in Poland. You can bring them back if they are dried. -
How buggy is too buggy for oyster mushrooms?
Rondayvous replied to wny_forager's topic in General Mushroom Discussion
I worry more about rot than bugs. It the oyster is firm and sound I consider the bugs added protein. ;0) -
Chants, boletus edulis, Russulas, and a Boletus I would never pick here with red pores, instantly staining blue that they sell in the farmers market ...

Seems like all I ever see in the woods are webcaps. I've pretty much given up on finding Blewits in my neck of the woods. I'm sure they are out there, just too many deadly ones in the mix to bother trying to collect them.
-
Some can be bitter to the point of being inedible.
-
I don't like them, but my wife and her family LOVE them. They peel off as much of the skin on the cap as comfortably comes off then they grill or fry them. I think it may just be a polish thing. Will try them in Poland to see if they taste the same there, if they do I will just assume it is a chocolate vs vanilla thing.

Old man of the woods. I see them all the time. listed as edible but I've never been able to bring myself to try one, just just don't smell or look appealing.

I found a HUGE bunch of these growing near my house and was 98% sure of my ID. Being December and the smell is what has prevented me up till now. We have had a few relatively mild days last week, will be eating a small batch for lunch and freezing the rest for later.
-
I'm asking because they don't smell the way all the other oysters I've picked this year smell. They are REALLY thick. White spore print, at the base of a hardwood (oak?)
-
Kinda like saying hair color/eye color isn't useful to describe a person, since most people have brown ... It might be true that most people have brown, but it is still a very important way to help identify someone. That is why they put it on your drivers license.
-
Doesn't look like chicken and if it were it wouldn't have a hard brittle surface.
-
I would guess Hemileccinum , do they have a lemony smell/taste?
-
Nice find, enjoy!
-
My screen makes the color look orange. Are these orange or yellow?

What does it smell like?
-
Possible ways to figure this out ... Look around at the other trees, are you in an evergreen forest, Hardwood forest (leaves, not needles) or mixed. Next, is the dead wood a single trunk with branches radiating from the center, or is the trunk branched. Often dead hardwoods have pieces of large branching trunk lying around.

Doubtful on this oyster look alike
Rondayvous replied to drspudbear's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Looks just like the fall oysters (panellus serotinus) I've been eating for the last month. -
Confirm this is pearl oyster mushroom?
Rondayvous replied to Mushroom_hunter sc's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Funny all the ones I've ever found had a slightly fishy smell. Any guess as to what kind of wood they were growing on? -
I don't think anyone is going to confirm an absolute statement like that. For example, what if you overlooked a possibility and the mushrooms is actually a third variety that you did not consider? More likely the spore print will exclude possibilities than determine one.
-
You might want to do a few things. Post in the mushroom ID thread. Post one mushroom per inquiry and post of picture of the bottom mushroom cut in half along with info on where you picked them.

Are these honey mushrooms...?
Rondayvous replied to forager_princess's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Are they growing on buried wood? White spore print? -
Crab brittle gill but no fish smell??
Rondayvous replied to pocketsand's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
The pink stem makes me think Russula rosa. Russula can be difficult to ID by cap color alone. A taste test might be in order. -
As I said ...

Has anyone ever found a mushroom IN a tree?
Rondayvous replied to Rob Hack's topic in General Mushroom Discussion
Sure, every time I walk in the woods.
