mushroom head

This one had me stumped, it also grows in the spring and seems to like oak trees there are pines nearby, but it's always in the lawn closest to a grove of old oaks. the taste is very mild and there was no staining on the flesh, only the pores which stain dark. I have eaten this with no ill effects, but I can't tolerate some boletes as the flavor stays like a dry wine.

the 5" cap is reddish brown and cracked yellow and white , (I think it would have been rounder if it had not grown together) the flesh is white and no color change in the cap or stem,the pores are reddish brown and stain blackish, the 2" stem is reddish with very little dotting toward the top it has white mycelium noted. was growing in the grass near an old oak tree.

growing in grass near loblollies pines. Also could be Suillus cothurnatus (“Booted Suillus”)

the 2.0"golden brown cap is very sticky, And slightly in rolled . the pores are quite small and close together, lighter brown or dark yellow darkens with age no bruising or color change noted to the cap, pores, or stem. the cap is slightly attached to the stem, the 1" stem has salt and pepper features and a dark brown or black annulus also narrows towards the dark brown mycelium. ps. the sticky mess next to the 1st picture is the spore print.

Thanks Dave, marasmiellus luxurians. looks like a good match.

Thank you, Dave, I have a couple sizes here at different times of the year. I think they are the same species but not completely sure.

Thanks Dave, It appears to be the Mutabilis.

wow! those are way cool.

Found growing june to july 17 so far. the 1.5" cap white with splattered brown streaks round and dry, no margin notes. the pinkish brown gills close and crowded get darker brown and are unattached. The stem is reddish at the apex down to the easy to remove white annulus. the stem after the annulus is white with light brown streaks (barely) more visible after picked and slightly bulbus at the base. thick white mycelium. A very dark brown almost black spore print. found in dark areas under a leyland cypress tree. does not grow in sunny areas in the grass.

Growing in a group on 7/16. The 3" caps is slightly umbio with red-brown or wine colored streaked dark at center to lighter at margin. the margin is wavy and up turned. Caps is also very sticky or moist with no color change on the whole mushroom to include the stem. the tan gills are very moist I think gills were I did not include it in my notes sorry. The 3" stems are lighter brown at the apex and darker brown at the base no annulus noted. with white mycelium. they were found in the grass next to an apple tree. no hairs visible so probably not the honey. however they do grow here I get the ringless in the late summer or fall. Spore print is white very hard to see.

ththe 2" brite white cap is featureless. white gills are low at the margin. And a low gill attachment at the stem light pink color change on the gills. flesh of cap is white light pink color change noted. Stem is firm and well attached at the apex with a well-defined annulus. below the annulus is easy to remove scabbers and a egg sack at the base.

I have the spore print it is yellow brown.

I have the spore print it is rusty brown.

Auriculariaceae is what I think I see. (I am a novice) had something similar this winter on an old oak branch and kept finding Auricularia auricula-judae however it only grows in Europe. So keep looking and let us know if you find something.

there is a video of chicken of the woods on the internet where they harvest the edge of the mushroom so it will / or can regrow. as far as what that is I don't know. the shape is reminiscent of Laetiporus cincinnatus and it seems to be a polypore also just a guess so not much help here just observing.
