Nice combination for an alfredo type dinner.

These long caps with long verticle lines, kinda like a diminutiva but much like M. americana. 19 under a pin oak which produced last year, 10 to 12 yards away an apple tree with 4 americana which were similar. 8 diminutiva under apple/black cherry & 8 half frees under a pin oak with black cherry close by.

Looks like black morels (M. angusticeps) which are usually the earlier than the others. I see a dried up morel laying on the ground. You still have several weeks to go.

I saw morels observed on Inaturalist near Washington DC this past week. Looks like it to me.

Some may have already seen this. Good presentation followed by question & answer period.
-
Looks like a good ID to me. I find something like that under hemlock.
-
-
I think they may be in the P. aurivella species group.
-
Phaeolus schweinitzii like. ??

I put it on Mushroom Observer & Inaturalist earlier today. The photos were from spore prints, both koh and melzers, & a smash mounts in koh which showed a few nearly smooth spores and ornamented spores. If Beker is still accepting submissions I would submit it. I have dried the entire mushroom.

This was in an area dominated by hardwoods but I think the were a couple hemlock. Concerning the Q I didn't measure those that were on end which are circular but a few times I measured the length including the snout. Is that a pore or an apiculus? Again the spores look the same whether in koh or melzers. I added a few more photos from a koh smash mount with a few (?) immature spores. I think I may be able to have the DNA analyzed later this year. Thanks Dave.

Found this at Ohiopile PA on the Ferncliff peninsula. It had rained the night before. A heavy medium brown spore print. I didn't notice any odor but the taste was mild with a watermelon finish which usually leads me to Agrocybe, also the ornamented spores don't seem right for that. I mounted the spores in koh and in melzers with the same coloration. The spores averaged 10.58 x 7.44µ Q=1.42 . The prominent snout, Is that a pore or an apiculus?
-
They look like Amanita section Ceasareae, maybe A. banningiana ( a small northern Amanita) or A. arkansana ( a large southern Amanita).

I think I dried it but I can't find it. It was mounted in melzers so if it is amyloid then only a weak reaction to it. ?? If it shows up I'll smash mount a small piece of gill in both KOH and then in melzers. Dave I think you nailed. Thanks guys.

The white spores without spines measured 6.82 x 4.56µ with the Q=1.5 , the apiculus visible. No partial veil, the gills attached, I didn't rub the gills to check for being waxy. Long cystidia with the basidia. I often get the microscopic names mixed up. Hygrocybe purpureofolia or purpureofolius? Maybe. This was growing in the ridge area near Donegal PA, Linn Run State Park. So many mushrooms growing.

A couple of years back we talked about that one. I'll check it out and see if I can find the old post. Thanks Dave.

Thanks Dave.

It looks like the bottom mushroom has gills. Panus?

These Amanitas were at the base of an oak, small, large bulb, a delicate partial veil. Including the bulb the large individual was 3 inches tall. The smooth ?hyaline spores were 7.6 x 7.2µ making the Q 1.05, so almost round. I'm thinking the provisional Amanita subvelatipes. ?? https://mushroomobserver.org/494491
