Dziuggy Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Went to Point Reyes hiking, with family, got some mushrooms as well, 3/4 different Boletus species, And couple that i'm not 100% sure. Couldn't link pic, so uploading pictures in 3 separate posts so it is easier. Post 1 Boletus species, the 3 on the left are slippery jacks, dark brown velvety red stem ones are probably boletus zelleri (pic 2-3), not sure on cracked cap ones (pic 4-5), pic 6-7 looks almost like edulis? and 8-9 have cap similar to slippery jack, but much thicker stem towards the bottom and white undercap, not yellow.

flipjargendy Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yes. That is odd. I don't see them either. Are you linking to photos on your Google drive by any chance? The URLs for the images are to Google servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dziuggy Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Lets call this post 2 for DI purposes These I'm not sure, they look mostly like Russula something, but not to sure. They we found on hillside (decently steep) in a young pine forest, with lots of pine needles covering the ground. The tops are brown to white, and almost velvety to touch. No ring, smells mushroomy. here are some pictures (1st pic are the lot of them, 2-3 is big one that top left in 1st pic, then 4-5 is top middle smaller one and 6-7 is top left small one.

Dziuggy Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 These seems to be lactarius piperatus? maybe? (post 3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Okay, I see all the photos now. Last photo, white Lactarius. This one has gills that are more widely-spaced than I'm used to seeing with L. piperatus here in Pennsylvania. Around here, I'd consider the L. subvellereus types for ones with this gill spacing. L. piperatus, and the very similar L. glaucescens, have very tightly-spaced gills... at least the ones here in eastern NA do. Mycorrhizal mushroom types from CA are mainly a mystery to me, especially the boletes. But the dark-capped one in the second photo down in the initial post looks like a species of Xerocomellus... maybe X. zelleri, X. truncatus, or X. dryophilus, The whitish ones suspected of being Russulas... if the stem snaps apart like a piece of chalk, then Russula is likely. Other possibilities that come to my mind are Tricholoma and Lyophyllum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also most Russulas I've seen tend to be different general shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 The gills on the younger ones appear to be tapered near the points of attachment. But the mature one seen in the group photo shows adnate attachment. I think Tricholomas would retain the recessed attachment (sinuate/emarginate) into maturity. Also, the dark gray staining is a feature seen on several Lyophyllum species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
