DaveChap Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Three days ago it rained and then warmed up to 58-60F. Then I found these mushrooms that look similar to yellowfoot chanterelles- I’ve cooked a lot of them before in restaurants. These were growing near pine and oak trees, but about eight feet away and grew in a straight row almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I don't know what these are, but they do not look like Yellowfoot Chanterelles, Craterellus tubaeformis. They appear to have true gills, not the false gills of Chanterelles. They also do not seem to have funnel-shaped caps opening into a hollow stem. I harvest many of the western version of C. tubaeformis every late fall and winter, and these mushrooms just don't have the right appearance.

Dave W Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Not a species of either Cantharellus or Craterellus (Chanterelles). My first guess would be genus Tricholomopsis, maybe something like T. rutilans or T. flammula. If correct, the spore print will be white. But, there are other possibilities for the ID, and spore print color would be one additional piece of useful information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveChap Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Ok thanks. It’s getting too cold now, so I’ll learn spore print so I can take sone this spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I think this could be a Gymnopilus sp. Bye bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Yes, genus Gymnopilus is a reasonable suggestion. Knowing spore print color would immediately eliminate one of Tricholomopsis/Gymnopilus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
