Bright yellow, flat mushroom and others on Colorado Trail
    #13241777 - 09/24/10 05:43 PM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Hiked the Colorado trail this year -- the mushrooms are fabulous up there!  I knew pretty much nothing about wild 'shrooms then, but took pictures of everything I could find.  They just looked so darned tasty.... Now I'm going back through and identifying some of them.  I really wish I'd known that king boletes, those beautiful loaf-of-bread fungi scattered all over alpine meadows, were edible!  There must have been a truckload, just growing beside the trail, over Indian Knife ridge near Durango.  Ah well, next time, right?

Thing is, I didn't know enough at the time to photograph the undersides of many of the mushrooms, so I know identification will be tough.  Still, anybody willing to glance these over and let me know what they think?

 
Growing in grass, near trees, about 8000 feet.


Growing in moist pine duff, widespread.


At base of stump, 9000 feet.


At base of stump, 8000 feet.


Very widespread in moist pine forests, on ground, sometimes dinner-plate sized.  Pleasant mushroom-y scent.


On fallen log.

Very guessy guesses:
1 Clitocybe geotropa
2 Buchwaldoboletus or something
3 Pholiota squarrosa
4 Leucopaxillus giganteus
5 Russula sp.
6 Flammulina velutipes

Oh darn, yes!  You're right, that's gotta be a Pholiota.  I wondered if it could be a parasol cluster of some kind, but now that you point it out, it's certainly p. squarrosa. 

Well, darn.  Those mushrooms smelled like a pizza, if I recall correctly.  So very tempting....

The big cluster of flat ones around the middle... any chance those could be oysters?  Or can oysters be easily confused with anything?

Cheers!

L. giganteus was a vague guess, but I don't think Oysters.  :shrug:

Nice, I was down near Silverton for a bit this summer, up in the San Juans.  There's some great mushrooms up there.

The only ID's I'd change Joie are 2 being Suillus tomentosus, 4 being Hypholoma capnoides and 5 being a Tricholoma sp.

Half my IDs were, um, right.  Do you mean 3 for the Hypholoma:confused:

Nope, 3 is Pholiota squarrosa, and I'm guessing 4 is Hypholoma capnoides.

I'm guessing it was growing on aspen (Populus tremuloides), as it's the only substantial hardwood on the Colorado Trail.
