troutddicted Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Found a picture of it online however there was no name associated with it. Here is a picture from a recent haul. The mushrooms in question are the brown clusters in the top middle. They were found amongst a group of conifers about 2 feet apart in two large clusters ( stemming out from one spot in the ground ). I will post an up close shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Link to Photobucket doesn't work on my computer. Attached photos are a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Need a better photo of those mushrooms seen in the back row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutddicted Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Mornin' folks - here is the zoomed in shot of said mushrooms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutddicted Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I did not eat these shrooms however they were really 'wet' in my mouth, almost sweet if I remember and no stinging on my tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Difficult to pin down this collection. Here are a few possibilities. Clitocybe possibly C. nebularis, Leucopaxillus, Lyophyllum. Some things to check. Spore print color. Do the gills easily peel away from the rest of the cap? Even with all of this info, it's possible that microscopic analysis may be necessary to get a solid ID here. I recommend not eating these. Some of the whitish Clitocybes are dangerous.

ladyflyfsh Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 trout, try to field dress your mushrooms...meaning, cut off the dirty clumps on the stems and clean them up BEFORE you put them in your basket and leave all that dirt and such in the woods. It will just make all the rest of you mushrooms filthy and harder to clean later. Wondering if those top middle mushrooms in question might be Lyophyllum decastes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutddicted Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I typically do but one of my foraging associates is a mess. For every 5 kilos of shrooms in the basket there is 5 kilos dirt. Thanks for the ID flyfisherwoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Troutddicted, I agree with ladyflyfish about the POSSIBILITY of the tan mushrooms being Lyophyllum decastes. But another possibility (among others) is Clitocybe nebularis, a species with a questionable-to-bad reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
