Pinecones Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 We have loads of LBMs with little umbos on the cap, but this is the first time I've ever spotted a pointy one! Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinecones Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'm taking a spore print right now, that may help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Yours also look wet while mine were dry. Also mine were taken under bright, indirect light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Likely a species of Cortinarius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't touch any LBM as a food prospect. I don't feel confident enough to differentiate them from one another. I can walk up the hillside and pick 50+ tiny mushrooms, mostly brown/tan, every one would be a different species. That's intimidating!

That's intimidating! That is a smart move. I also stay away from any little brown thingies. For example we found a boat load of young Armillaria (edible, honey mushrooms), I took some photos to ID them on here. We did not keep or eat any of the honeys because what if one deadly galerina slipped in? Not taking any chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you are not confident you did the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better safe than sorry if you're not familiar with honeys or deady gals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Yeah thats what I figured. I find a lot of Marasmius Oreades also, but always leave them behind. Too paranoid with LBM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Most Corts should not be eaten. There are at least a few deadly species. Edible qualities of most are unknown. There's only a couple or so decent edibles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
