Kimon Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Mushrooms! Well hi everyone (again). The last 4 posts or something have been mine, and i ve been wondering if i post a bit too much... If this is the case, please tell me so (especially u, Dave. I dont want to be tiring). Anyway i went hiking today and i stumbled upon some mushrooms. The first 3 photos are 2 mushrooms of the same kind. Altitude 800m, pine forest (again). Cap size 11cm, funnel shaped. Yellowish color, gills decurrent. Stem rather sturdy (hope this is the right word). I can only think its some type of cantharellus. My father knew this type but he only knew the local name and that it is very tasty. The next two photos are Suillus collinitus probably. Cap size about 7cm, sticky dark brown, with yellowish pores. Found on the ground. I used to find literally dozens of them in late November. Today i found only one. Now the next mushrooms are a mystery to me. Found them at the same forest with all the previous ones, growing on the ground. They were partially covered with vegetation and dirt, cap size 11cm, rather flat surface with dark brown color. The gills can be seen in the last photo clearly (they are a bit sparse-not dense at all). The stalk rather short (3-4 cm) and thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Actually, since there are no mushrooms for me to find in my area at this time, it's a good time to discuss IDs with me. The discussions help to alleviate my winter mushroom addiction withdrawal :-) Seeing the Greek mushrooms is also interesting to me. Of course, like I said before, some Euro types are ones which will be unfamiliar to me. Even if they were not, it's difficult to arrive at a confident ID from a few photos. But I can at least provide you with a few names to check, or ideas to research. Your photos are very good, Kimon. A variety of features may be seen. 1. Pleurotus, I think. Looks like the European Pleurotus species that tends to grow on the ground which we previously discussed as a possibility for... http://www.wildmushroomhunting.org/index.php/topic/853-need-help-for-id/ 2. Maybe the same as 1. Clitocybe or Leucopaxillus are other possibilities. 3. Looks like the mushrooms seen in 1 and 2. 4,5. I can confidently propose a genus for this one, Suillus. Looks like one of the ringless Suillus, which leads to several species possibilities. I'm guessing you found this one near pine. 6,7,8,9. Looks like a species of Tricholoma. I know several brown Tricholoma species that have whitish gills which develop brown stains. Here's one example. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/tricholoma_pessundatum.html The brown edges on the gills seems like a distinctive trait. Note the way the gills are notched near the points of attachment to the stalk, a typical Trich trait. Trichs often smell mealy. Some of the brown Trichs are sickeners. Other possibilities for the species... http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~6858~gid~~source~gallerydefault.asp http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~6859~gid~~source~gallerydefault.asp http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~6878~gid~~source~gallerydefault.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
