Illinois Mushroom ID Request (I think it's a Gym)
    #12445129 - 04/23/10 05:06 PM (13 years, 11 months ago)

Habitat:
Where does it grow? It was in the forest preserve near my house and this was a day after it was raining (though it's raining today too)

What does it grow on? When I picked it, I found it attached to wood that had moss growing on it. It was either a branch or a stump that it grew on.

Gills:
I don't know what attached means, but these gills aren't straight lines or anything. they look more like a web of small circles that encompasses the whole of the underside of the mushroom

Stem:
In comparison to the cap, it is like 1/100 the size. It is small and fat, and it is mostly black

Cap:
It looks like it has layers on it. I would say it's more light in color and it's more yellow/gold. It is not as circular as most mushrooms. It's like 90% of a circle then it stops where the stem is. The sides of the cap are VERY wavy.

Spore print color:
Not sure if I can make one with this.
Bruising:
none.


Other information:
It smells like a cucumber. THe cap is quite soft to the touch and is smooth, though the underside is much smoother feeling

Just out of curiosity: what made you think that it was a Gym?

I was being a smartass. I know VERY little about mushroom strains and all that. This was my second mushroom ID request and I've only learned of a few types of mushrooms.

I just thought it was a gym :shrug:

There's a reason I posted it here instead of eatin' the bad boy...

I hear they're a decent edible if you can find them when they're young and soft.

I've never been inclined to eat one, though.

at the top of the page of mushroom hunting and identification you will see a notebook and pen that say "post" click that to start a new post.
