shroomguy Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hey guys, I need some assistance in identifying some mushrooms that I found in my backyard in Tennessee. Mushroom 1: This mushroom was found growing in soil. It has pores. Pictures are labeled "marshmallow". Mushroom 2: This mushroom was also found growing in soil. It has white and slightly red gills. Pictures are labeled "Holey". Signing out, Shroomguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 First mushroom is a species of Tylopilus. My guess is the flesh is very bitter. Possibly Tylopilus rubrobrunneus. Second mushroom is from the group of amanitas called "Blushers". Notice all the red-brown staining, which is the reason for the name Blusher. These species are currently being studied in North America. The name applied to the European Blusher is Amanita rubescens. The NA species are not the same. Rod Tulloss --who studies amanitas-- came up with the name Amanita amerirubescens for NA material. But his more recent research has revealed several different species of NA Blushers.
