Pleurotus sp?
    #6733918 - 04/01/07 02:47 AM (17 years, 1 day ago)

This is the second season I've found these fruiting directly from the soil around a potted Ponytail palm!
The first image is of a mature specimen from last year, the second was taken today.

Cap:20-50mm, wineglass shaped when mature. Dark golden brown when young, maturing to a lighter yellow brown.
Gills:Attachment decurrent. Light greyish white to light buff.
Stem:10-20mm long by 10-25mm wide. Surface silky, light greyish white.
Spores:Light pinkish white.
Possibly a Pleurotus sp? I also suspected Omphalotus sp but have not been able to detect any bioluminescence!
Any ideas?

Probably in the genus Hohenbuehelia, they look like Hohenbuehelia petaloides. I usually find them on wood chips, sometimes on logs.

Yeah I think Hohenbuehelia petaloides is the most likely suspect. I find them growing in my area as well, quite often growing near pleurotus fruiting logs. I often use them as an indicator species for oysters, and will occasionally take some if my oyster find is small. They're a lot tougher than oysters, but they don't taste bad, just chewier. I doubt if they're Omphalotus , since Omphalotus usually have a longer stem and distinct cap, whereas these fellas here don't.
These ones are likely fruiting from buried wood matter.

Definitely Hohenbuehelia, I have been finding them here in northern california lately. I think waxingreen cultivated from tissue sample, a specimen he found growing wild. They're edible, and very attractive.

Here is a photo from last week:


I suspect you used the flash in your photos? I have one photo of these same mushrooms with the colouration similar to yours, and i used flash on that one.
