halcyon1234 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I found some more small mushrooms growing on a log, this time near my house. I didn't take a picture of the log, but I could do so if anyone needs it to help with identifying the mushrooms. So, what could these mushrooms be? They're flat and thin.

Dave W Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Indoor lighting appears to be giving these a more yellow appearance than should be the case. I think these are Panellus stipticus. Inedible due to terrible taste. But, young fruit bodies of P. stipticus are reportedly bioluminescent; ie. glow in the dark. I haven't seen this with this species.

I actually chewed on one of the uncooked mushrooms, and it did taste pretty bitter, but didn't upset my stomach or anything. Then I just threw the rest away. As for the bioluminescence, I didn't see any of that either, but I don't know how young these were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
