shroomersue Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Had a nice trek and found some gooduns for eating. Here is my haul today. Oysters, birch boletes, funnel caps, chanterelles, chicken of the woods. Wouldnt mind some input on a few unknown to me... thx folks! fairly certain these are common funnel caps clitocibe gibba? these are russulas or milk caps? Spore print light tan. Found under pine. No latex.
Dave W Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 The funnel-shaped mushrooms are likely Clitocybe gibba. C. squamulosa is very similar, but this type grows under conifers. C. gibba is a hardwood associate. The mushrooms in the last few photos which are questioned as either Russula or Lactarius... The white and brownish ones are Russulas. These look like species from Russula section Ingratae. At least some of these types are sickeners. Some have unpleasant, or at least, unusual odors... stinky, almondy. The taste may also be unpleasant, or oily. The cluster of smallish orange/reddish-capped mushrooms are a species of Laccaria.
shroomersue Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Posted July 9, 2015 heres the spore print from the brownish russula group suspects. Quite yellowy actually.
shroomersue Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Posted July 9, 2015 Thanks Dave, always appreciate your input...the learning continues!
Dave W Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 That's a really deep ochre print. Looking at some info on Russulas from section Intergae, I don't see any listed with print this far from white. But in general, many Russulas have yellow, ochre, or orangish spore prints. So I may have the section incorrect on the fourth photo, but I think it's a Russula.
