Marshall and Iris Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Found these December 27, in southwestern Ohio. Predominantly hardwood forest, lots of oak, maple, and walnut. I thought they might have been Omphalotus Illudens when I saw them from a distance, but I don’t think so now. There was no distinct odor to these, I haven’t yet tried for a spore print. I did return a few days later to see if there was any distinct color change or growth pattern, but they appeared about the same, maybe a tiny bit larger. I’ve been going through all my guidebooks, but I’m still stumped on this one. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJC Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Compare to Phyllotopsis Nidulans….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Phyllotopsis nidulans is commonly called the "Stinking Orange Oyster". But, in my experience the foul odor is often absent from this species. Spore print pale pinkish/orangish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall and Iris Posted January 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Thanks, that is what I was leaning towards, but I wasn’t certain. I’ll head out to get a spore print today. Didn’t get it the other times because I was out running and couldn’t transport it without overly damaging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprzyw Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Sounds good, I get them in the fall quite a lot just never picked/ bothered with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epicmushroomhunter Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 They are very pretty! I found similar ones in late fall 2020. Please refer to the following - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/64007438 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
