ChickenOfTheWoodz Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I think this looks like a Strobilomyces or other Boletale. It is full of insects and slugs but was it this black prior to being eaten? Just curious. Thoughts? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Looks like an old one. Here's one from yesterday with mold on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Strobilomyces mushrooms are very dark in color. If the scales on the cap are not spread out, the mushroom will be black. The mold that has overtaken this "Old Man of the Woods" is Hypomyces chrysospermus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
