shroomersue Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Found under pines in southern Ontario, interesting toothed fungi in the tough corky family Phellodon - Boletopsis spp. (Boletopsis grisea)? or.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Me thinks its Sarcodon scabrosus! Yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyflyfsh Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'd say yes. If it had been found at high elevation, I might have said Sarcodon imbricatus. Was it bitter to taste in taste test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Unfortunately they were left behind in forest. So no taste test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I found some more toothed fungus that I did taste test and is not bitter. They have a strangely sweet aroma like maple syrup. They ranged in size - 7 inch mature to smaller 2 inch caps with the undersides dark brown to light beige, flesh is white. Now I think it to be the scaly hedgehogs - not like the ones i found previously with the grey stalks. So this must be Sarcodon imbricatus, but info says they are found associated with conifers, and these were found under oak with no conifers in the mix in southwestern Ontario!

shroomersue Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I tryed some of them sauteed but alas, they had a bitter taste! They smelled good like some real steak accompaniment type mushrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyflyfsh Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I had some Sarcodon imbricatus in CO and it was OK...not something I'd go out of my way to collect, but not bitter and not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
