GCn15 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 EB, Just curious if you eat them or not? I can pick them by the bushel but haven't in many years because I never found a way I like them. If you eat them...any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t usually find them, so haven’t studied them well, I know there are poisonous species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subrubescens can be mildly toxic as their antibiotic properties can upset stomach bacterial flora and cause some minor indigestion. They can typically be weeded out by their staining reactions from A. Ovinus and A. Confluens. They usually have a much more pronounced, fast, and deeper dark yellow to orange reaction when bruised. Another identifier is that a lot of times they have a violet tinge to them. If your Albatrellus bruises a light yellow, or green it is probably not A. Subrubescens. I used to identify with microscope though because the differences in spores are very pronounced and easy to differentiate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
