Howard Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 what habitat? hardwood or conifer? was the stem hollow? Could be Gyroporus castaneus??? https://www.mushroomexpert.com/gyroporus_castaneus.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'd bet this is one of the species generally lumped into the Gyroporus castaneus concept. (Recent research has produced a few new species names.) If correct, then the stalk should snap apart like a piece of chalk. The extreior layer of the G. castaneus stalk is brittle and, when young, the interior is stuffed with a soft cottony pith. Mature G. castaneus has stalk with (partially) hollow interior. Is "western NC" North Carolina? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 No worries. I was just wondering if the location may have been somewhere in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
