Maritime Mushrooms Volume 3


Islander

Recommended Posts

O.K. Another day finding a few mushrooms. I'm going to make some guesses on these to see if people agree with my opinion based on personal research and feedback from the forum. I am going to use common terms at this point, and let people offer the scientific names. "Database Dave" probably has some slam dunk answers, as always. Ha.

A. Found side of road on grass. Seems like an obvious Shaggy Mane. I tell you, you never notice these mushrooms until you start paying attention! Anyway, there were 4 in one spot.

B. My guess. Shaggy Parasol. Found growing under tree (there were two) in a small woods by cottage. Couple of pics of the tree I found it under. Smells like a mushroom, but strong. Gills look like they are whitest originally but turning brown. Research says this type (if it is a saggy parasol) is a choice edible. Anyone have experience trying this? I was surprised. Looks neat, but not tasty.

C. These are those nasty "black smoke" puffballs. I forget what we called them as kids. I'm curious if it qualifies as a mushroom. I know you wouldn't eat it, whatever it is!

D. Based on research and feedback, Marasmius oreades, Fairy Ring mushrooms is my opinion. White spore print. Would we say these are safe to try and consume? Found on grass. When I smell them, can't really smell much of anything.

E. Found in woods. Small. No idea what these might be yet.

F. Looks like a nice King Bolete to me. Finding boletes to eat has been my favorite part of this hobby so far. Taste great.

G. OK I will get technical on this one and say this is Amanita muscaria var. guessowii , young and older version.

H. Ahh, so here is a big one for me. Are these Chanterelles? Found on grass but growing under tree (pictured). I couldn't really smell them UNTIL I cut the stem, which was white inside but pretty quickly discoloured reddish-brown. The smell was not typical mushroomy. I have a hard time trying to pick a smell. It just smelled sort of fresh, like a garden salad or something. So, I am guessing this are mature Chanterelles.

Working on some spore prints.

Regarding H., looking at the photos now I realize they didn't capture how orange the mushroom actually was. The picture of the gills is close to accurate, and that color is what you see on the top of the cap. Don't know why the camera washed out all the color on the cap but just imagine it looking closer to the color of the gills.

Late. I can submit more photo on request. I picked a sample of most of these.

Sample B Chlorophyllum rhacodes or one of the similar species of "Shaggy Parasol". 

Sample C,, a post-mature puffball. Maybe Lycoperdon marginatum.

Sample D looks like Marasmius oreades. There are similar-looking toxic species that grow in grassy areas.

Sample E looks like maybe a species of Cortinarius. There are other possibilities.

Sample F, Leccinum.

Sample G, a few of these are Amanita muscaria var. guessowii. Possibly other species of Amanita mixed in.

Sample H, the inverted one looks like possibly a species of Lactarius. Low confidence here. Need more details.

Re Sample B, make sure that the spores are white and not green.  Shaggy Parasols are one of my favorite mushrooms; but when they are at the stage shown, they are only good for drying and then using as a flavoring.
