Bolete look alikeā¦need to identify
Patrick from Ontario replied to Rocjard's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Have you compared with any species of Tricholoma? A wild guess here...possibly T. Matsutake ? I believe they are common out west and grow in relationship with Pine. However the gill colour is tough to deceiver from the pictures. Spore print would be white. -

Identify North New Jersey Mushrooms
Patrick from Ontario replied to Tim M's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Try comparing with Psathyrella piluliformis https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/psathyrella-piluliformis.php https://www.mushroomexpert.com/psathyrella_piluliformis.html -
Possibly a species of the genus Psathyrella, maybe P. candolleana ? https://www.mushroomexpert.com/psathyrella_candolleana.html

Boletus Huronensis? or kings
Patrick from Ontario replied to River_Forager's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
According to MushroomExpert B. Edulis is a well-known European bolete and it's presence in N.A. is up for debate. Kuo also states the flesh does not change colour when sliced nor does the surface bruise from handling. https://www.mushroomexpert.com/boletus_edulis.html I am not saying you're wrong (I have no experience with boletes), however after seeing your comment and briefly researching B. Edulis I figured this was worth noting -

C. cyanites "Blushing Webcap" ? -
Since joining this forum a month ago I've learned that positively ID'ing an Agaricus down to species is extremely difficult, therefore the experts recommend beginner mushroom enthusiasts do not collect any Agaricus-looking fungi for consumption. https://www.mushroomexpert.com/agaricus.html Here's some information regarding the Agaricus genus and identifying traits. Also check out this page for tips on requesting an ID proposal. More detailed pictures are needed, as well as information regarding the habitat in which it was found, etc.

Could they be Cortinarius violaceus? -
More info needed

Hi again, Yard mushroom again, ID please?
Patrick from Ontario replied to ooOOoOooOoOo's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
They sure look like species of Amanita. 2nd picture I believe shows evidence of volva, possible remnants of universal veil on the brown caps, gills look to be free from the stem which has partial veil present The yellow one in the 5th picture could possibly be Amanita muscaria var. guessowi -
Saffron milk cap in Ontario
Patrick from Ontario replied to Christa's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Hi just an update, the version I purchased states 'New Edition' on the cover but it was printed in 2014 so perhaps Christa and I have the same version Lactarius deliciosus is still the published name......curious as to what was actually changed for this 'new edition'- 16 replies

Thank you Calvert and Dave for this much useful information, I will take all into consideration before preparing my first meal Par-boiling sounds like a great thing to do before preparing any type of wild mushroom, but i have to believe that certain species may not hold together well in a pot of boiling water?

ID help please. Blewit? [CONFIRMED Blewit]
Patrick from Ontario replied to Sherwood's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Not an expert but if the spore print turns out I think you are correct in your identification of Lepista nuda I have only one experience with L. nuda and it was under the same circumstances...mulch, autumn (last week), and also the same attributes like young specimens having inrolled margins, buff spore print, etc Wait for confirmation from the more experienced folk on here before consuming -
Thank you Calvert! Found the page at Champignons du Quebec after reading your comment....much appreciated Have you any experience with the edibility of this species? Is it worth it for a beginner? I have not eaten any funghi I've found whether been confirmed edible or not. This just seems like a lot to pass up on I would definitely spore print first to make sure it's white

Found on or around maple Compared to the honey mushrooms ID'd here recently they seem rather small, but i have no experience with these mushrooms May return to gather samples let me know what you think

Any suggestions as to what species this may be?
Patrick from Ontario replied to Tomas's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
Looks like a type of Armillaria aka Honey Mushroom. Possibly A. mellea or A. tabescens. (I could be totally wrong as I am a new to this) A couple recent ID posts on here have been determined to be honey mushrooms, compare with those. -
Polyporus brumalis?

Guttation....that's a new one for me. Pretty interesting stuff Thanks for sharing!

https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/lepista-nuda.php Wood blewit's have solid stems that are usually swollen around the base, that along with the pinkish white colour of caps and gills lead me to believe it is not Lepista Nuda Perhaps it could be Mycena Rosea, which is poisonous. They appear in leaf litter in around deciduous trees according to this website. https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/mycena-rosea.php

white mushroom in sandy gravel massachusetts
Patrick from Ontario replied to nonada's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
I am no expert but I believe Amanita's have gills that are almost always free from the stem. Did you do spore print? -
Saffron milk cap in Ontario
Patrick from Ontario replied to Christa's topic in Identifying Mushrooms
I'm aware of this new edition only because I just purchased the book myself, but it's currently in transit for delivery so I cannot comment on any updates related to Christa's post. If no one else has addressed this by the time it arrives I will certainly have a look and relay any new information- 16 replies
