Blaker Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hi guys, I’m very new to mushroom hunting but I’m trying to learn what I can. Today after many days of rain I found some mushrooms I’ve never seen or maybe just never noticed before. I’m not sure if they are the same in different stages or different all together. Please don’t kill me for my lack of knowledge as I’m just starting learning. One is about 2 1/4” inches long with the cap about an 1 1/4”. It looks like it’s almost a light/medium tan with slight peach coloring especially on the fins. The other is about 1 1/4” with the cap about 1 1/2” and it looks like the cap is almost inverting with the fins growing over the cap. It’s more of an orange color and the fins seem to be more non uniform than the other. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The one with the upturned gills is well past prime. Mushrooms in this condition can be very difficult to ID. But, the cap surface looks somewhat like the other younger one. So, it's likely these represent the same species. The ring on the upper stalk of the younger one looks to be brown, probably because brown spores have fallen from the gills and stuck to it. I think these may be a species of genus Pholiota.
