Wild day in Southern Austria 4 - looking for IDs
jack-oh replied to jack-oh's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Thanks again Dave. I was sticking to one-per-post, but didn't want to take over the message board. Was just bowled over by how much I saw in such a short space. I'm in the area all the way until end of September, so hopefully I'm going to be seeing a whole lot more. -

I'll try and get better shots of the underside of the cap next time. Thanks again. -

Thanks Dave. The colours on this one were amazing, camera didn't do it justice. -

Thanks for this Dave. I'll look into these then go back to the location and see what's what. -
Alright, I won't keep creating new topics, don't want to shout too loud. Here's the last mushroom I'm intrigued by, the very thing ones clustered together – look psychedelic to me but I've no idea? Same area and habitat as the previous post. Also throwing in some bonus extras at the end. Like I say, was a good day out there – I saw all these in about 30-40 minutes.

An amazing evening in the forest today. Think I saw about 15-20 different mushrooms all within a few hundred metres of each other. (I'm coming at this with a complete novice hat on, sorry if some of these are obvious.) I'll post a few, here's the third. Growing on a fallen tree; quite a lot of sunlight coming through. In southern Austria, Spittal area. I didn't cut/take any so no spore print.

Growing at the base of an old tree stump; lots of needles around. In southern Austria, Spittal area. Didn't cut/take (it was the only one like it I could see) so no spore print.

Growing in lots of needles, some moss; mostly shaded area with some sunlight coming through. In southern Austria, Spittal area. I didn't cut/take any so no spore print.

Thanks SVS, looks like you're right with both from what I can see with further research. -

Hey all, first post. I'm staying in southern Austria for 2 months on a writing residency. I've found a load of chanterelles/Pfifferlinge—damn delicious. And then also these two... 1. I'm pretty sure the first is a young Bay Bolete: it's firm, smells slightly sweet; fingerprint on underside/gills(?) turned brown overnight. 2. I'm less sure about these two. I think some kind of Blewitts, but want to be 100% sure before I fry them up. Very slight aniseed smell. No marking or colouring when touched. And no purple colouring which I thought I would see on Blewitts... Both (and lots more) growing in the Großegg, Spittal an der Drau, area of southern Austria: moss and needles and leaves on the ground; mix of beech and pine trees; ferns; some sun coming through but quite well shaded. Hope that's enough info, as I say, first time post.
