Dave W Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Mushrooms are coming on slowly, after a solid month of hot dry weather. Still finding a few nice things. Cyanoboletus pulverulentus (formerly Boletus), found in my front yard. Believe it or not, this drastic stainer is edible. Amanita wellsii, an uncommon mushroom that I find in the same spot every October. Leccinum, L. atrostipitatum, I think. The thick-fleshed Leccinums are good edible... if well cooked. The green-staining orange-latex Lactarius deterrimus, formerly called L. deliciosus (a European species). The always photogenic Amanita muscaria var. guessowii. Cortinarius cinnamomeus has bright orange gills. Mycena inclinata. Rather large ones. A nice Coprinus comatus. Found a few of these in openings surrounded by a forested area.

Evan Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 We have to go over to the neighbors' house tomorrow morning to harvest some hens that Beth saw yesterday. We also have tons of A. muscaria here. With the recent rains they are everywhere under the pines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Evan, check those patches of Amanita muscaria under the pines (and other conifers). There may be a few Boletus edulis mixed in. A few more. Psathyrella species. Lactarius mammosus, aka. L. hibbardae. Smells like coconut. Lactarius helvus, aka. L. aquifluus. Smells like maple syrup or curry. Sarcodon. Somewhat like the edible hedghog, but flesh a little denser. Most eastern NA types are inedible. Suillus luteus, a late-season conifer mushroom that's edible if you go through the trouble of removing the slimy cap cuticle and slimy partial veil.

brianf Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Cool Dave, how long have you been finding Luteus? Is PA one of the locations that this mushroom has been naturalized? I found and ate a few of the C.Pulverulentus earlier this week located here on our property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I don't find S. luteus in many different locations, and the ones where I do find it feature pines that have been planted on lawns. So I think it's a good question about whether this may be viewed as a native/naturalized species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
