rbenn Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Found this on the floor in a deciduous forest. Strong mushroom smell. Maybe Tylopilus alboater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbenn Posted September 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I get a lot of seperans normally, but they don't look like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhaas Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I was thinking B. separans as well, but the cap color seems off. You could hit the cap with ammonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Hoover Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Did it taste bitter? I’m thinking maybe Tylopilus plumboviolaceus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbenn Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I never nibbled on it. Don't want worms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Hoover Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Just break off a small piece, check it for worms, taste it and spit it out. You can often tell a lot from doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 I just posted a dark-capped example of B. separans to MO. https://mushroomobserver.org/467793 Looks pretty similar. Also, compare with B. atkinsonii and B. variipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
