diana Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Pretty sure I'm making the correct id here☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I can't find anything else that makes sense other than Boletinellus ananas (Pinepple Bolete). But, the powdery white cap surfaces do not fit this species. Maybe these mushrooms may have been infected by a Hypomyces...? But, once a bolete has been parasitized by a Hypomyces, the pores/tubes should also become covered. Some other Florida species of Boletinellus?

diana Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 The small ones still in button stage do look powdery in the photo. That is just an illusion. Just tiny scales. I do find many boletes that have Hypomyces infection, or so I believe. Pores are covered with white mold and progresses to change the texture and/or color of the flesh. When a bolete has been infected it is pretty obvious and I toss. It is real prevalent here, perhaps due to humidity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Okay, if the small ones have the brownish scales on the cap, then these are most likely B. ananas. Did you use flash for the photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Don't remember if flash was used, my phone is set to auto for pictures. This was an indoor shot, kitchen which is dark but usually have light on. I really should take pictures outside but the mosquitos are so bad..........
