Agaricus Newbie

Agaricus Newbie (1/5)

  1. Thanks for asking. They do have a pleasant odor, but it's so hard to characterize odor objectively! We read Aurora's description, and another that suggested lilac. While I wouldn't have come up with those on my own, I can see how someone might. So that's a good sign. The other good news is that our sport print was white, and we've received a number of IDs on other platforms. I think we're safely calling these blewits now, and will plan to be 100% certain in the future!
  2. Yes! Really hoping they're not brown. We went back to the spot we gathered them from, and examined the babies to look for a cortina, and did not find anything resembling one. I think we'll probably sleep soundly after the print.
  3. Thanks- we have several prints in process!
  4. We collected these in Oregon a couple of days ago. Temps in the 40-60 degree Fahrenheit range, with light rains recently. They were growing in mulch and leaf litter in a local park. The bases had pinkish-purple mycelium, and were growing alongside A. gemmata. A friend ate one this morning, and then we began to wonder if we might have misidentified them as blewits. A quick search for lookalikes suggested that there are a few Cortinarius that felt like possibilities. Now we're trying to decide if we take a trip to the ER. These look like textbook blewits to us, but would appreciate any other opinions.
  5. Thanks! Our spore print was white, but we read enough about the possibility of accidentally throwing a Galerina in our basket that we decided to skip this batch, and to be more careful next time.
  6. I found these growing out of a live fir at about 3000' in NW Oregon. We're pretty confident that they're honeys, but are waiting for a spore print before tasting.
  7. Thanks for your suggestions, Dave. I looked closely at both, and if I had to bet, I'd bet L. Persicinus. Fortunately, I don't have to bet, and will keep the photo but discard the mushroom!
  8. Thanks! It's really firm, with no bugs or mold, so I hadn't thought it might be old. Appreciate the help!
  9. I'm doubting it, but can't find any other clear ID for this one. The color seems off, especially underneath. I also searched for dangerous lookalikes, but couldn't find these either. This one was collected today in NW Oregon, and found on a rotting (fir?) stump at about 3,000'. The surrounding forest was mostly fir, with vine maple, and a lot of typical undergrowth for the area. Any guesses?
