AbleAndReckless Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thought these might be chanterelles at first but was told they're probably Ringless Honey Mushrooms, as evidenced by the brown coloration in the middle and tendency to grow in clumps. All seemingly growing out of the ground, attached two pictures of the area they were growing for reference. No distinctive smell, doesn't change color when damaged. Waiting for a spore print that I'll check in the morning. If they are Ringless Honey, I've heard mixed reviews about edibility. Anyone?

Matt McDermott Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Not chantrelle. Look like Armillaria tabescens, but others will respond with more experience with this mushroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I agree, Armillaria Tabescens. What I have been finding lately. I have tried them after parboiling as Dave suggests and eh. The ringless are the only ones I seem to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Those look like Armillaria tabescens to me. A key feature --in addition to the clustered growth habit, brownish color, lack of ring, stem with fibrous "skin" and white pithy interior, and white spore print-- is the presence of scales on the cap surface. These scales are actually bunches of tiny hairs that get fused together. Diana, young material with unexpanded caps are best. After parboiling, long slow saute is recommended in order to reduce the sliminess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
