sdubuisson Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hi everyone! Founs these guys around some oaks on the ground. Think they might be R. Brevipes, its a shame none were infected with lobster fungus! Cap: white/yellowish maturing to light orange and brown. Darker rings like a tree stump getting more frequent towards center. Indented center of cap, aysymmetrical. Pore Surface: white gills running to stem, easily detached. No veil seen. Stem: thick/short white stem with a crunchy and tough texture. Bruising: none Taste: somewhat bitter? I didnt do much beside lick it lol Smell: earthy, metallic, fishy (had a bad spot on the cap) Size: palm sized and larger Spore print: light orange, my cat erased half in the picture with a swipe of his tail Ill put the spores under a scope tomorrow at work and add that too. I have some better pictures on my camera if these arent enough! Thanks! Samantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunShroomer3578 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I think you have yourself some sort of Lactarius. If I’m not mistaken, I seen white latex in second photo. Also note the rings on cap. Most Lactarius have that feature ( I believe) Not sure the species but I would bet 3 bucks it is probably spicy lol. Small amount nibbled then spat out is key in identifying some mushrooms. I’m no expert so the experts should be chiming in soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mushroom Whisperer Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Definitely not Russula. I agree with Lactarius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Looks to be possibly the same species as https://wildmushroomhunting.org/index.php?/topic/4224-found-a-handful-of-new-species/. I'll link this discussion to the other, as well. sometime later tonight I'll have a chance to check my Milk Mushrooms of North America book. I'd like to check the spore print color for Lactarius yazooensis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycophagus Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Top of the cap and spore print look very similar to what I found, that Dave W linked to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 The spore print of Lactarius yazooensis is reported as yellow. That's not way different than the color seen here. And the print seen here looks to be very thick. A thick spore print can look darker than normal. Here's another idea... Lactarius psammicola.
