Thank you Dave! Always greatful for your insight.
-
No problem. Glad to help! Did you take a spore print?
-
Found these little orange mushrooms in my yard. Anyone have any idea on what they might be?
-
They look like desarmillaria caespitosa to me. Here are some I found
-
I took a spore print, and it turned out to be white. Plus there were white spores under the clusters on the leaf litter and on the caps. I just found out that the NA variant of D. tabescens has been moved D. Caespitosa. I think they may split these species up even more in the future. There seems to be very many diffeeent subspecies, this may explain the dark stems. Or maybe environmental factors cause this. When split open the interior is white.

What features point you towards C. Cibarius? They are beautiful aren't they?

Thanks for the cooking tips. I ended up just doing a simple sauté in my skillet with olive oil and a little butter and a wee snort of salt. Ate them all by themselves just to try em'. They turned out a little to slimey. I think you suppose to cook out the water before you add the olive oil. And I think the butter flavor overpowered the taste of the mushroom. It'll turn out better next time. Maybe I'll make a Risotto. Sorry I didn't respond till just now

Found what I believe to be desarmillaria tabescens here in Mississippi in a mixed coniferous hardwood forest. I have been seeing them pop up everywhere so I decided to go on a hunt today. This is the first time I have ever planned on cooking honey mushrooms so I want to be 100% sure they are what I think they are. I noticed white spore prints on the caps of other mushrooms and on the leaf litter underneath them.

Thank's so much for your input Dave. These will be the very first wild mushrooms that I eat, I am very excited!😁 Any advice on how to cook them? I think I will eat them by themselves so that I can really appreciate the flavor.

Thank you vitcog! I found these here in Mississippi. Maybe I have a different variety than lateritius. I now have spore prints. It looks like a pale off white to slight buff color.
-
I am 99% sure these are chanterlles,I just wanted to make sure before I try and eat them. Most of them have bug holes. They meet all the criteria for chanterlles as far as I can tell. The only thing that I find odd is they don't really have the fruity apricot smell that I read they have. The only smell I notice is a dirt or foresty smell, not a real distinct flavor either. I am waiting on a spore print. The picture of the tree is what I believe it was associated with. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I want to see a picture of the underside. That would be helpful. Spore print should be white.

Thank you Dave! Really appreciate the additional info and links. I've been seeing these mushroom pop around summertime for a few years now. They are very hardy mushrooms that don't seem to get damaged by intense Mississippi heat or sunlight and have no problem growing out in the open, which seems like an uncommon trait for mushrooms. I've seen them pop up all over my yard but mostly on that old dead stump, sometimes solitary and sometimes in little clusters. The stump gets overgrown with weeds so the maintenance guys come and spray it with weed killer. So I have this large brown spot in the center of my yard. But there is fascinating diversity fungal growth right in that spot. I've found everything from pollypores to puffballs. And I found these large snails like I have never seen anywhere else.

I'm not sure what these are. Just wait and be patient. Someone will answer.

I've been seeing a lot of these around this year.

ID: small golden-brown cap, dark-brown gills
Dude12o replied to Aelios K.'s topic in Identifying Mushrooms
I believe this to be Coprinopsis Variegata. I have never found this species before but it resembles this mushroom in photos on the internet. Take a spore print if you can, and wait to see what this websites' experts have to say. -
I found these growing old dead sump in my yard. As you can see, the mushrooms are growing in a small cluster and joined at the bass. The caps of the mushrooms are very fuzzy and have a fairly deep divit in the center, the gills are decurrent, and the stipe is very stiff and hard to break. I noticed it has a pleasant mushroomy smell. It has a light beige or buff colored spore print. I believe this mushroom may be Panus Crinitus; however this mushroom doesn't seem to be very well documented, so I am still unsure. Any more information and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the ID conformation! Really cool! I've been wanting to find Jack 'o Lantern in the wild but I haven't found them yet. I would like to be able to see bioluminescence in a mushrooms; however, I am reluctant to take a mushroom home unless necessary for further id or if I intend on eating the mushroom. I know it probably isn't a big deal, but I try to disturb the ecosystem as little as possible. What do you think, is this concern warranted?
-
I am not sure. I might try and find out later today. I think it is likely an oak considering the location I found it in. I am still not to savvy on tree identification. I can recognize trees on a basic level. Like I can say, "oh that is a pine, or that that is oak", but not much beyond that.. Do know any websites or other resources that can help me improve my tree identification skills? And I was curious about edibility of this species, especially when frozen. Will it still be good thawed out? Should I take any other precautions like taking a spore print?
-
I found this mushroom the day before yesterday. Did a little research, and found that it resembles Panellus stiptickus. I read that this mushroom is bioluminescent so I went back after sunset and found that it does not glow in the dark. It has somewhat scaly leathery texture and no discernable scent. Anyone know what these could be?
-
Found this mushroom today while hiking here in Mississippi. it was completely frozen. I think it might be in the genus pleurotus, maybe p. Dryinus what do y'all think?
-
What an amazing little organism. Very hard to take a picture of something so small. My camera is definitely not good enough to take a picture that close up, it would never focus. It looks like something you would see on an alien planet, or maybe on the bottom of the ocean. The diversity of life on our planet never fails to fascinate and excite me.
-
I know right! I thought they were little mushrooms. I have seen lichen plenty of times before, but never anything like this. I had no idea that lichen is both plant (algae) and fungi. I just assumed it was just a plant similar to moss. But looking at these pictures it makes sense that lichen would contain a fungal component. Here are some more pictures I took when the sun finally came out. These photos are unedited other than cropping and rotation.
-
I'm glad we could all learn something from this. I tried to take some more detailed photos today. Well, the resolution of the photos on my phone look way better. There must be a limit on how detailed photos can be that are uploaded.
-
I had this suspicion. Never seen anything like it before. When I saw it I kind of got excited. I find it fascinating how much it resembles fungi. Thank you for sharing the link! Well I just looked up on Wikipedia and found out lichen is in the fungal kingdom. I didn't know this, I'm still fairly new to mycology.
