Moodywoods Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Any help would be most appreciated , thanks First I thought these were chanterelles but I think now that they may be Gerronema strombodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Good call, Moody. Those are Gerronema strombodes. Although reported on dead wood in forest settings, this also occurs on spread wood chips. Wood-inhabiting species may sometimes appear to be terrestrial if they are growing on buried wood. The fertile undersurfaces seen here are composed of well-developed gills. The layer of gill material is distinct, as opposed to just molded cap context. Some types of true chanterelles form gill-like fertile surface, but these are not truly gills. Rather the "pseudo-gills" of some types of chanterelles are composed out of the same context/material that comprises the rest of the cap. Other types of chanterelles have fertile surface consisting of ridges, veins, or are even perfectly smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodywoods Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thank you for your reply and for the interesting information. I feel so bad for picking all those now, really thought they were chanterells at first. So glad I did not eat them . Thanks again , Dave -Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
