My finds from the last month.


Recommended Posts

I've been a little busy lately and haven't posted much, but I have been making a few finds. There seems to have been a fairly large flush of pluteus in my area.

This is a laetiporus sulphereus that was growing inside of a hollow log. It was a little old and dirty, so I left it to do it's thing.

I also found a couple of amanitas.

I also found some agaricus in the grassy areas.

This is an unknown russula or lactarius.

And the ever present red russula.

And finally my harbinger of summer. Three types of chanterelles that popped up in the last week.

Nice to see the chanties working their way northward.

The mushroom with the concentric zones of color (brown, tan, buff) is very likely a Lactarius. I think the shallow pits on the lower part of the stalk are an example of a "scrobiculate" stem surface, something seen on some Lactarius species.

I got inspired by your Chant finds, and decided to hit one of my best spots from last year . We have had abundant rain, but cool temps and the woods were

still rather void of fungi . No Chants here yet .. These are from last year .

Wow Adawg, that was a nice haul! We are expected to get rain all this week. This will be just in time to hopefully kick off another fruiting of chants along with some other mushroom growth. This has been the earliest chanterelle harvest that I can remember for me personally. I'm hoping that everyone will find lots of nice mushrooms this year and post lots of photos of their finds.

I decided to get out yesterday morning for a little while and kayak to one of my chanty spots. Wasn't a dry run by the chantys were a little dry. Missed them by a couple days. Managed to salvage a few. We still have plenty time for more fruitings though. No complaints here

A few other beauties I found...... Found a few look a likes in my guides similar to the filled mushrooms but nothing strong to propose a ID

Haven't got around to looking up the petite bolets yet. Pretty small and awesome if ya ask me

Played a little joke on my roommate and plugged the gilled mushrooms in his bonsai plants ?

Hopefully they're not parasitic and damage his plant?

Just thought of that as I was typing

Looks like enough to accompany a meal. I've only harvested a couple of pounds or so from the first fruiting but l'm expecting a lot more next week. I usually will leave about a third to a half of the chants I find unpicked because they are too small or old and because some are growing on bare ground. The ones growing on bare ground are usually very dirty and hard to clean.

Some interesting stuff there, CajunShroomer. I agree with John about the cluster being Armillaria tabescens, although these look somewhat different than what I find up here in PA. Gills are kinda widely spaced and wrinkled. This species seems to vary in appearance. I also considered Lentinellus cochleatus, but this species always has serrate gill edges, unlike the even ones seen here.

The little boletes have me a bit perplexed. Overall, they look like Aureoboletus auriporus. But the pore surface of this species should be brilliant yellow. Maybe Boletus campestris...? Or one of the campestris look-alikes (rubellus, fraternus, subfraternus, harrisonii)? These types usually bruise blue --sometimes faintly-- on the pores or cut flesh.

Yes Dave ,Armillaria tabescens was my first guess but the photos in my guides weren't precise enough for positive ID. If I'm not mistaken, these are aka ringless honeys?

As far as the boletes, I haven't found anything on tiny boletes. But my resources are very limited at this point. With the exception of the Internet.

I would actually say that the pore surface was a brilliant yellow. As discussed in a different thread ,

I'm thinking my camera phone had trouble picking that up. Apologies for the blur as well. I was having trouble focusing while trying to get a close up. Oh, and I didn't want to disturb them too much so I could not tell you if they stained blue

I just wish there was something to photo in W/C Ohio good bad or ugly, we have had heat and some rain but nary a Lactarius nor a Russula even, odd.
