  1. I can’t wait for someone more knowledgeable than me to chime in. This is quite interesting
  2. I'm going to side with Cajun and postulate that something environmental has caused the red/pink coloration. I also can't find any red capped agaricus, but everything else about that mushroom screams agaricus In mushrooms demystified, there's a passage about mushrooms growing under cedar trees taking on a red hue after heavy rains. Could be something like that
  3. Agaricus sp. I'm not good with agaricus, but I'm confident you're somewhere within that genus.
  4. I don’t know. I just looked up P. serotinus and IMO the pictured mushroom doesn’t match the description. The stipe is wrong
  5. kinda funny. I was just posting a peer reviewed study about compounds found in some wild mushrooms that reduce neuroinflammation. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924224420305586 of course Michale Kuo is correct. There's never been a clinical trial for mushroom extracts of any kind. OTOH there is mounting evidence that the medicinal properties of mushrooms are worth investigating.

  7. You'll have better luck asking for one ID at a time. I don't know any of these but I would say the one you have labeled is incorrect.
  8. They're my favorite species to collect. They have such a wonderful nutty flavor when you fry them up
  9. It was delicious. I ate a small piece that I cut off the the small closed cap specimen. I sautéed it in butter. The missing piece in the photos must have been a rodent. The photos are at least three different mushrooms. There were probably 100 to choose on this walk. Got to the point that I stopped mentioning them to my wife
  10. They don’t look like oysters to me. Stipe location is wrong. Gills on oysters are decurrent, but those appear to stop at the stipe rather than run down it. Also the brown staining on the gills is putting me off I’m certainly not an expert. Just my observations
  11. If you want any chance of a reliable id you’ll need to post pictures of the gills/pore surface and the stipe in addition to the cap. Ids from cap only photos are not much better than guesses
  12. Thanks Brendan. I’m fairly confident on the id. I’m sort of hoping someone who collects them will chime in and say, “that’s what I collect”. I appreciate that you are reluctant to tell someone to eat something. I already ate a test piece with no reaction so I think it’s safe to try more. I found a spot where they grow abundantly
  13. Hi, I’m Jeff. I’m a biologist. My wife and I caught the mycology bug about three years ago. We’ve become avid foragers and I geek out on learning new species
  14. Curious about smell and if the latex turned color at all when it dried. it looks a lot like the Lactarius volemus that I collect, but they would have a distinct fishy odor and the latex would turn brown after a few moments. L. corrigus also fits. L. corrigus would also stain brown, but without the distinct fishy odor.
  15. I’m almost certain I’ve got these identified correctly, but confirmation would make me feel good about gathering a bunch of them. Found in Maine in mixed pine and hardwood forest. Id based on color of cap and stipe, striated margin, volva, yellow detached or nearly detached gills, partial veil remnants, but lacking universal veil remnants on cap
