FrankA Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 I found this in a group under my oak trees growing on the grouund. It does not discolor when torn. It does not cause irritation of my skin or lips when rubbed on there. Have not tried eating it but it does not taste bitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Need to see a more clear photo of a harvested specimen... pore surface, sectioned mushrooms showing interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankA Posted September 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Thanks. I will if they grow again but my neighbor ran over it with a lawnmower, so no more specimen for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondayvous Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Unless you know that your neighbor never puts any chemicals on their lawn, you might want to think twice about eating ANY srooms growing in a cultivated (lawn, garden etc...) setting.

FrankA Posted November 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Here are more pics after it grew again under an oak tree. This in my yard and no one sprays the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 It is a type of Suillus imo. Not sure what associates with oak trees as I have no oak trees in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Light brown tubes and pores suggest genus Tylopilus. T. tabacinus looks like a possibility. Some Tylopilus species are bitter tasting. Another species that may merit consideration is Boletus durhamensis. According to the Bolete Filter (online source), B. durhamensis has been found only in NC and VA. In a few of the photos, the layer of tubes appears to be separable from the rest of the cap flesh. This would point away from genus Suillus. The only species of Suillus that associates with oak (that I know) is S. subaureus. The mushrooms seen here do not look like S. subaureus. Do the mushrooms seen here have reticulate stalks (threadlike netting on the stalk surface)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 The next to last photo above shows netting on the upper part of the stalk when you zoom in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I see the reticulations on the upper surface of the stalk. I think this is Tylopilus tabacinus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
