Agaricus Newbie

Agaricus Newbie (1/5)

  1. Found these in a cow field siding with a forest full of firs and spruces. Spore print was white, smell is mushroomy, sort of pleasant. Found them in a pack of 4-5(?). Gills range from slightly pink white to a sort of brownish color. Unsure if they are honey mushrooms or some other species. Found in France at an altitude of 1100-1200m. My guess is (hopefully) Armillaria ostoyae. It should also be noted that for all these mushrooms, the gills were still covered by a very thin, almost transparent, veil.
  2. These look like banded mottlegills to me... (panaeolus cinctulus). Try taking a spore print, if it comes out black/jet-black, it is without a doubt a banded mottlegill. Though, I would not suggest eating these mushrooms, unless you want to be seeing aliens and flying elves for around 6-8 hours (yes, they are indeed hallucinogenic)
  3. I would personally not consume this mushroom. The stem on the flammulina velutipes that I find around where I live are black-ish and pretty thin. Try taking a spore print, if it's white it probably is indeed velvet shanks (flammulina velutipes). Also, did they smell like iron rust? And lastly, velvet shanks start growing only when there are pretty low temperatures (less than 7 degrees Celsius) or after the first freeze. If your mushroom meets all of these criteria, it could quite possibly be a velvet shank. But it's not worth taking the risk of consuming it unless you're 100% sure since it has a good amount of fairly toxic relatives!
  4. I don't recall any whitish blob-like fungi growing nearby. Sadly, I do not own a microscope and for whatever reason, all three spore prints I tried taking failed. Literally, nothing came out of them. I tried hydrating the caps a little, and none of the 3 spore prints I took came worked. I guess I'm not gonna take the risk of consuming these ones.
  5. Looks pretty much like a false turkey tail (stereum ostrea). If you they were pretty hard and had no distinct odor, they're surely false turkey tails.
  6. Lion's mane mushrooms pretty much have no dangerous look-alikes. Once you spot a cluster of icicles hanging from a dead or dying hardwood, you’re in for a real treat. You can try doing more research if you want to, but IMO this is the real deal.
  7. Found this today in the forest. Smells really sweet and has a lot of the characteristics used to identify sweetbread mushrooms. Waiting on a spore print, even tho just by looking inside the gills I can see pink-ish spores. Flesh is white, gills are white to pink/salmon color. Cap is gray and slightly feels like leather to the touch. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
  8. This is 100% a Late Fall Oyster (P. Serotinus). In fact, I just picked some. I like making egg fried rice with them (sauté them before adding them).
