ChefsWild Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I see scabers on one of the boletes and the other looks a lot like some of the local Tylopilus species except that the stem is remarkably gracile. The gilled mushroom is a puzzler, though. Very thick puffy white flesh, almost bolete-like, and widely spaced gills. All in pine heavy woods in Raleigh NC.

ChefsWild Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I wonder if the gilled one is a Russula? It certainly crumbled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1left Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I also suspect you have a Russula, the cap looks too solid brown for the Russula compacta from my area though I assume it is hefty Russula similar to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 The one bolete looks like a Leccinum to me, and the other a Tyloplils. Species ID difficult in each case. Is the Tylopilus bitter-tasting? Gilled mushroom may be a species of either Lactarius or Russula. I don 't recognize it. Sometimes a Lactarius mushroom may have so little latex that you need to search to observe it. One way to explore is to gently push your finger or a piece of paper against the cut flesh and then look for any signs of moisture on the finger/paper. But I agree with you Chefs. This looks more like a Russula, and possibly a species from section Compactae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsWild Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 The slender stemmed one is definitely bitter, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Maybe Tylopilus violatictus. There are several similar bitter Tylos that occur in eastern NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
