DaggaBoom Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hi, Found these mushrooms in my grandmothers garden (Pretoria, South Africa) and wanted to identify them. They were on the grass relatively close to a broad leafed tree. My guess was Phlebopus sudanicus, but would someone be able to confirm this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I have no first-hand experience with this species --let alone, the genus Phlebopus. The field guide North American Boletes does not include a single entry for this genus. But, based upon the information I see online, your ID appears to be on target, DaggaBoom... correct at least to genus. (Not sure about the possibility of look-alike Phlebopus species like P. marginatus.) Thanks for sharing. An impressive mushroom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Just saw this on Mushroom Observer http://mushroomobserver.org/308758?q=EHr6 . Looks like the genus for species sudanicus has been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
