Hmmm, interesting. Yes, you can try and print them. I'd like to see a good shot of the gills too, if possible.

There you go. I'll go along and print 'em and also I'll see if they turn green in a frying pan. Should I add oil or anything? haha

The lack of a ring is very odd. I'm not sure what those are :shrug: I'll be looking forward to hearing about the print.

Yeah, that's supposed to be one of the dead give-aways. I've seen some on googleimages without the rings, however.

Will report back later! Thanks, koraks.

the tapered stems make me think Omphalotus illudens, hard to tell

Possibly. I considered both omphalotus and armillaria as well, but I can't confirm or reject either option :shrug: It would have been so much easier if they had been more mature. How certain are you of your id, TheThinker?

I hope these are better. Not too great of a photo taker.

Hey guys, I really appreciate the help here. I've been looking for Gyms for a couple of months now, I know a bit too early in the season but I enjoy the hobby.

I have some more Gyms or... Gym-look-alikes I just found. Let me know what you think.

Both of those finds are Armillaria sp. :thumbup:

Gyms WILL be out if those are fruiting in your area
Keep looking and Happy Hunting man:cheers: Keep on the gym trail:headbanger:

Gyms and honey mushrooms can sometimes grow from the exact same logs at the exact same time ........check this pic.........

If you look closely you should be able to see some g.luteus pins AND the abundance of armillaria sp. fruiting from the tiny piece of wood:wow:

Here is one pic of some true and active BLG's from WI


at least in my area - BLG's are quite rare ive only found two spots that have them - - g.luteus are ALLLLLL OVER and spread like wildfire

Happy Hunting man:cheers:

Great info, wiscokid! I was so sure I found some form of gyms yesterday but it seems I've got more learning to do. Thanks.
