diana Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Just concentrating on one variety. Thought this would be easy to id but I'm hitting a brick wall. Bright lemon yellow pores that stain blue. Cap flesh instantly stains a pale red that fades to gray. Stipe almost bulbous and textured (scabers?}, stains blue. First picture inside light. 2nd picture outside light. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Check Boletus patrioticus. It's a southern NA species. I *think* the reddish and bluish staining point toward this species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 That would make sense. But.... it's said not to occur in Florida. i went on Mushroom Obs. and found you but no instance of this in Fl. Ga, tx, al, va, all around the south just not here. Oh did see a report of New Jersey, huh? Anything else similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I think that a species known from GA, TX, LA is likely to occur in FL. Diana, someone like you who collects lots of different types of mushrooms is not unlikely to find a few first-reports of regional species. What are you asking about NJ?

diana Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I know it seems weird to be all over the south but not in Fl. 4 hours ago, Dave W said: What are you asking about NJ? Just that patroiticus is said to occur there. Since when is NJ the south 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Many different types of mycorrhizal mushrooms have ranges that extend from the deep south up along the Atlantic coast, in some cases all the way up to CT... or even Cape Cod.
