Rondayvous Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hundreds of these scattered under Pine trees mixed in the pine needles. They have light caramel tops and Beige cream gills. Waiting for Spore test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Looks like Ampulloclitocybe clavipes (formerly placed in genus Clitocybe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondayvous Posted October 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 My field guide lists that mushroom as having gray-brown cap and stem ... grayish brown or with olive tones. This was more like honey caramel. Perhaps Clitocybe subditopoda? 25 minutes ago, Dave W said: Looks like Ampulloclitocybe clavipes (formerly placed in genus Clitocybe).

Dave W Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Champignons du Quebec shows photos of Clitocybe subditopoda that suggest a more slender mushroom with a smaller cap diameter and dark disc. I'm not familiar with this species (at least I've never ID anything as such). Here's the Google Translate version of the C du Q description of the cap. (0.7) 2-4 (5.5) cm dia, convex then spreading and often slightly to deeply depressed, viscid and slightly shiny in moisture, glabrous, smooth, canescent silvery towards margin at first, dull and opaque to dryness, hygrophane, aqueous gray-brown slightly tinted winey at first, turning brown or yellowing with age, becoming pale ashy, pale olive buff to greyish beige, sometimes with dark disc, margin coiled at first, then curved right, rarely raised and wavy, slightly translucent-streaked with age and moisture. Here's a link to the C du Q portrayal of C. subditopodota. https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=C&l=l&nom=Clitocybe subditopoda / Clitocybe gris-brun&tag=Clitocybe subditopoda&gro=130 The cap color of the mushroom under consideration is a bit off for A. clavipes. But, I still think this is the ID. Here's the C du Q presentation of A. clavipes. All in French and --as is seen in the translated text above-- some of the meaning gets a bit garbled in translation. But there's lot of photos to view here. One in particular appears to show a yellowish cap. https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=A&l=l&nom=Ampulloclitocybe clavipes / Clitocybe à pied renflé&tag=Ampulloclitocybe clavipes&gro=23 1 hour ago, Rondayvous said: My field guide lists that mushroom as having gray-brown cap and stem ... grayish brown or with olive tones.

Very similar to A. clavipes, but with one difference being cap color. From Google translate. pinkish brown, gray-brown, yellow-brown to pinkish tan... https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=C&l=l&nom=Clitocybe subclavipes / Clitocybe faux-clavipes&tag=Clitocybe subclavipes&gro=130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondayvous Posted October 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Between the ambiguity of ID and the potential interaction with alcohol (not that I drink) I think I'll pass on these. Too bad, there were literally hundreds of them everywhere I went yesterday. I dried a few for safekeeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Even if these are edible, they are likely to come up short of "incredible". Yes, the reports of bad interaction with alcohol are enough to keep me away from sampling any of these "Club Foot Clitocybe" mushrooms. But, I think C. subclavipes is likely the correct ID here. I had temporarily forgotten about this species. I don't recall ever having collected/IDed it. I'll keep a lookout for it in the local pine woods. Were these with white pine? Or some type of 2-3 needle pine? I may have passed this by many times thinking it to just be A. clavipes. I wonder is C. subclavipes actually belongs in genus Ampulloclitocybe?

Rondayvous Posted October 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Pretty sure white pine. Were growing in with the pine needles on the ground. They were not growing under any other kinds of trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
