It’s very common to see many of these through out the year. Wife had a close call in the yard a couple years ago. She went to photograph a mushroom next to a potted plant and there it was !! Coiled up patiently awaiting lunch !! She was inches away from getting tagged !!

So it’s not just my email !!?? Lol Henderson Swamp , Louisiana Just to clear something up ..... I dehydrated all material from DB B. Don’t think we’ll be getting any spores to scope

Yes Dave you are correct. Sorry for the confusion. My email must have been hacked. Had issues this morning. The small cluster of immature mushrooms were found Sunday. Sepcimen Cyclocybe DB B. Email sent. I believe it’s done right. I had to send them smaller than actual size this morning. Maybe because I was sending too many ? Just dropped off package at the post office. 3-4 day delivery. Thanks again !!

Ok so I went back after letting them mature a bit. I am almost certain that all mushrooms seen in this post are Cyclocybe aergerita and were all growing on willow trees. Also found some information in my new guide Mushrooms of the Gulf Coast Shout out to my lovely wife for my birthday gifts !!! Foraging sacks and a new mushroom knife !!!

Ok sounds great !! After clicking on images from https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/poplar-mushroom/ it gives a little description and I noticed this ....... I am 100% certain the last observation was growing from a willow

No I did not Dave. I’ll try to make it out again to collect a mature specimen for spores. I’ll follow up over the weekend. Definitely a step closer with last proposal but as you mention uncommon in NA 🤷🏻‍♂️

While out fishing this morning I ran across theses specimens. Had the 4 and 2 year old with me so was only able to snap a few pictures before getting back to entertaining them. Growing on a willow tree. I do believe they are the same species. Not in the same swamp. We were hours away from original mushroom location. Thoughts ???

Oh yeah one proud dad. Even grateful to introduce the neighbors to foraging. Oh and we did a little herping...Sourh Louisiana’s finest.... Copperhead 😳😬

Shroomdog, is that you from morels.com?

I’m guessing that these were growing next to pine sapling in the yard where mulch was present???

Took the kids on their first foray today !! Managed to pick a few Cantharellus cinnabarinus(Red chanterelles) and Cantharellus minor.

Very anxious to get out and put it to use !! After reading the introduction and scanning the pages last night, I’ve noticed a few that we were unsettled about identifications in the past. Mostly boletes.... go figure. I’ll try to back to my old post and propose some names given out my new field guide.

Super excited like a kid in a candy store!! I finally received my “ Mushrooms of the Gulf Coast States” Felix guide !!! Highly recommended for the folks down south. Very detailed and beautiful photos of the specimens

Welcome to the forum guys. Just not a busy time of the year here. Things usually pick up here soon. Most are out frantically searching for morels I assume. Daniel here. Lafayette area South Louisiana

Welcome Kevin. You’re in the right place

I’ve had the same experience Wade. The ones that were fishy I left behind.Found some a few weeks ago and they were pleasant.

Welcome aboard!! Kisatchie Forest is a great place to explore but it’s hunting season so I’d stay away until after February. Lots of oysters and lions mane to be found right now !! Happy Pickens !!!

I’ve always heard you want to get the logs cut before they go dormant for the winter. Just my two cents. A quick google search on what trees are the best will tell ya all you need to know. I wouldn’t think lemon tree logs would be your best bet. Again just my two cents Good luck and keep us posted through your experiment.

Nice photos

I second that

Not many deer moving today but a little bonus

Welcome aboard!! You’ll fit right in with us weirdos !! Lol

You’d have better luck at shroomery .com

Check out the second page in south Louisiana post. I linked a few books

Lol I’d say artist
