ChefsWild Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Looks kind of Armillaria? Chapel Hill NC, predominately pine forest, on wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Some areas in eastern NA --particularly the SE-- seem to get Armillaria tabescens much earlier than I'd expect to see it around here. Are the colors seen in the photos --predominantly tan/light-brown-- correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smalldridge Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Chefs, for some reason A. tabescens fruited early here also. I found some growing in eastern N.C. over a month ago. I have been seeing fall boletes growing sporadically all summer. I think the crazy rainfall / weather has gotten all the mushrooms off schedule here.

ChefsWild Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Dave, the colors are light tan/brown pretty uniformly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks Chefs. If the cap color was yellow I was gonna suggest Tricholomopsis as an alternate ID. I think these are A. tabescens. Spore print for verification would be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral Boy Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Look for tiny dark hairs in the center of the cap. Looks similar to Armillaria tabescens to me, especially if they were growing in large groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
