A couple of unknown mushrooms
    #15067835 -

I found this guy in the forest (well, not really a forest, it's more of a small patch of woody deciduous area maybe 3-4 km squared in totality. It was very moist that day and there were literally dozens of mushrooms everywhere!

On of them caught my attention because of blue bruising. (but it doesn't look like any of the active species to me)

Cap: about 5cm in diameter. Extremely spongy (Even more as it ages). No gills, sponge-like structure. White to brown as it ages. Convex.

Stem: White with brown spots all over. Hairy. Found one bruised blue near the base.

No spore print.

Pictures



I got all excited when I found this one thinking it was a Psilocybe but I highly doubt it now. I think it's a Coprinus (based on the cap turning into a black slime). Am I right?

Habitat: Cow pasture, around dung. Only found 4 of them in the whole field, all grouped together.

Cap: about 2 cm in diameter. Convex. Ochre-rusty in the middle to gray at the end. Dark-brown gills, semi-attached. 24 hours after I put them on a piece of paper for a spore print, one of them turned to a black slime with white larvae seemingly eating the cap.

Stem: Very rigid. Dark-brown-rusty colour all over. About 8-10 cm high.

Spore print color:
Velvet black

Pictures:


Here's a interesting species I found just growing on the ground beside a tree in the same woody deciduous area.

Must have weighed half a pound.

Extreme Southern Quebec, in the Monteregie. Why do you ask?

Agreeing with the prior ID--

Leccinum--often called "scaber stalks" and some species of these are quite tasty, just saute in butter.

The last one is Grifola frondosa, hen of the woods; this one is actually pretty small. They get up to 30+ lbs.
And, they're very good to eat--again, just toss in butter; or, google up some recipes; also, you'll read of the immune-system boosting properties.

Read, with rigorous criticality, hilarity, and with a large soul.

I was actually looking for shaggy mane on that day because I have seen a few last year around the area but was out of luck. Interesting to know that both are edible :smile: Thanks for the info. Will surely consult for more information.

Yea. It's one of the species I am looking for. Also, Liberty caps and Panaeoulous cinctulus. I have searched this cow pasture quite thoroughly a few times but haven't been lucky thus far. Maybe I should extend my search to other cow pastures in the area. I know liberty cap season is pretty much beggining and peaks around october-november and as far as quebecensis goes,

Quote from wikipedia:
Solitary to gregarious, rarely cespitose, on rotting wood, particularly in the outwashes of streams in the decayed-wood substratum of alder, birch, fir and spruce in the late summer and fall. Reported from Quebec, Canada specifically in the Jacques-Cartier River Valley, fruiting at a temperature of 6°C to 15°C from summer to late October. Recently found in the United States (Michigan).

I might not be in the right area:shrug: Interesting how it doesn't mention that it grows more specifically on manure but on rotting wood. It has yet to drop below 15C here enough so I may have to wait a couple more weeks.

Agree on first and last ID's, but I don't think the second is a pan pap.  It looks to me like a couple caps in the third picture of #2 are deliquescing.  Not sure what they are, but if they really are deliquescing they wouldn't be pan paps.

Yes, one of the cap has turned into a black slime. Do you have any suggestions to which species it belongs to? I know Coprinus mushrooms caps turn to a black slime as well but that doesn't mean anything I guess.

I'm not too sure, but it has to be some form of coprinoid and not a pan pap.  Alan or somebody will probably have a better idea, I'm not good at getting non-local coprinoids down even to genus level.

I believe the black slime is just a rotting pap. If you zoom in you can see little white lines (or squiggles) which look like maggots. Worms can turn even a large Pluteus to mush in 24 hours. Gross!

If you're talking about mine Alan (I hope so!), I took some more photos. The caps were about 3 inches, so that's a pretty big pile. :lol: I like insects and spiders but even I thought it was pretty sick. The last pic I left full resolution, so you can take it all in. I don't mean to threadjack, but the ID is already done anyway.

Before:
