eat-bolete Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 I took pictures from all sides, let me know please if anything looks suspicious/inedible.
Dave W Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Difficult to assess a pile of mushrooms. How many different species are in the collection? Most of them look like Lactarius hygrophoroides, except at least for one cinnabar chanterelle.
eat-bolete Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 I believe most are L. hygrophoroides, 1 bolete on the right (1st photo, far end on 3rd photo), and cinnabarius Chants, so i think 3 species...one of Lactarius has darker cap, not sure it means anything, all others show the same traits meaning widely spaced gills, brown cap And stem, white milk. Do any of milkies NOT look like hygrophoroides?
eat-bolete Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 bolete has light brown cap, light yellow pores, quite large, light yellow stem, doesn't bruise, tastes good.
Dave W Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 I see the bolete now. Looks like Boletus subglabripes, which is an okay edible when the flesh is firm. It's a little difficult making sense out of individual mushrooms when there's 20 or so in the same photo, placed at different angles. A better approach to discussing IDs is to select two or three which are either good representatives for a collection, or maybe one that you think may be different. A couple of the Lactarius have cap color maybe a little off for hygrophoroides, but all I can see on those is the cap surface. I guess the undersides are shown in another photo, but I don't know how the mushrooms in the different photos match. The Lactarius may all be hygrophoroides... nothing really jumps out at me. If you're after ID proposals, then two or three mushrooms per photo is a good policy.
eat-bolete Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 Understood. Thank you very much for trying. I got rid of bolete, wriggled with worms, all Lactarius look really similar, this one seems to have darker cap and stem, is this hygro milky as well?
Dave W Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Looks like a rather dark version of hygrophoroides. White latex on the sliced gills and mild-tasting flesh will pretty much nail the ID. Checking traits like these provides instant feedback relevant to learning the visual patterns. Looking again at the previous photos, the milkies all look like hygrophoroides. It occurs to me that group photos of mushrooms do potentially provide information. If there's any questionable ones in the mix, maybe they'll stand out. But photos like this should represent --to the best of the collector's ability-- one species.
eat-bolete Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 Thanks again, Dave. I'll sort them better next time. This one does have white milk and doesn't taste bitter.
Dave W Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 L. hygrophoroides has a nice texture when sliced and fried/satueed. I like to add onions. Depending upon what I may want to combine in/with the saute, I may also add garlic... as well as other herbs, spices, etc. I like to use hygrophoroids as a burrito ingredient. Also excellent sauteed and added to a mac/cheese casserole. Another good one is L. volemus, which is similarly colored but has closely spaced gills. The abundant white latex stains everything brown, including one's fingers. The fishy odor dissipates with cooking.
eat-bolete Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 yeah got a few L. volemus today as well, mostly L. hygrophoroides. Threw some on a grill today in a foil, with olive oil and some seasoning, everyone loved them.
eat-bolete Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 ...and cinnabarius chanties. None of the golden here for some reason.
