Mycophagus Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 A friend sent me some relatively poor images of some mushrooms at his house - looks like boletes near pines, if my guess is correct. Chesnuts perhaps? It's been very wet and cool here in Iowa recently, for what its worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McDermott Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 'Chestnut bolete' grows near hardwoods, usually oak. Would need pic of stem and pores for proper i.d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Not enough info shown in the pictures to be able to make any determination other than it is a mushroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycophagus Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 kinda figured. maybe more info tomorrow here is the underside at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McDermott Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 So, Chestnut bolete pores fo from whitish to pale yellow when older. It looks like the pore surface in the picture is more pink. This may be a type of tylopilus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob80 Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Suillus americanus is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Suillus americanus sounds good to me. From above these look like this species. But, the photo showing the underside appears to show pink pores. Is this correct? It's okay to harvest a couple in order to get a good look at the undersides. If the pores really are pink, then you may want to consider genus Chalciporus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycophagus Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 my buddy flaked, so I never got a chance to look at the shrooms. Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamp connection Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 The blue one is Lycopodium azureshoensis, often found in association with Suillus americanus. It has a foul odor and taste, with rubbery texture. Not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Not familiar with Lycopodium. I googles this name and got a Wikipedia result saying it's a genus of moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
