What is this orange mushroom?
    #15255669 - 10/21/11 06:18 AM (12 years, 5 months ago)

Found growing on deadwood over a creek in PA. Attached gills, veil, pictures should say the rest. No spore print, pictures were just taken on site.

I really don't think these are any kind of "good" Gymnopilius. I am hoping that I can get some help IDing all the orange mushrooms that like look like them so I have a better understanding of what features I am looking for.

Thank you!

Probably a Pholiota, I reckon.

you have a few different kinds, in the first pic, that one on the far right is almost certainly a enokitake, aka the velvet foot, aka the sticky cap, aka the winter fungus. A good way to distinguish this is, the stem will be very hearty, not edible, very firm, fuzzy, the cap will be sticky, it loves cold nights, grows in a tuft on dead wood, and is most certainly absolutely delicious. print will be white, but as I stated above you can usually deduce this without looking at the spores, but as a good practice starting out its always wise to be sure. Another good sign is the stem will pop right out of the cap quite easily, and the cap will smell amazingly sweet. The more mature they are the darker the stem, the more translucent the caps will become, and the stickier they will seem.




by far one of my all time favorite fruits!

*edit* I'll throw a guess at the other two, the furthest on the left as old and disfigured as they are my guess might be a cort perhaps, the on in the middle with a veil still visible, quite possibly a pholiota, what was it fruiting from? A stump maybe? near a stump?

I'm not entirely sure where you are located, and what the conditions are like, but its pretty clear that enokis are popping where you are. These are good indicator fruits, cause once you see one, you'll surely find more, and like I said they are absolutely delicious. Take good care in the observations you make when finding those, and I would highly recommend going back and searching for more. They grow on dead trees, alot of times you wont see them cause they will fruit underneith the bark as it begins to peel away from the tree, aswell as fruit way up at the tops. Once you find one fruit, make sure to check the entire tree as you can usually find 5-6 sometimes dozens of tufts of these guys. The younger they are the more incredible they taste. They really enjoy cold weather, I've found them in the middle of February in wisconsin after a day of slightly warm weather, and in the middle of summer after a day of colder temps. Enjoy!

Isn't enokitake the common name for Flammulina velutipes?

Yes, it is. And I doubt if that's what it is, but a spore print would help.

I'm thinking Pholiota looking at the gills of the mature one in the second picture. ElPrawn got it methinks.

Also all three pictures are of the same mushrooms, Snoot. If you look at the button in the first pic and then the button in two, you can see they are reflections of each other.

It's not Flammulina velutipes, I know that much.

They seem a bit large, I agree with that, but it's hard to tell from a pic without size reference or measurements.

They're all Pholiota malicola or something close.

there seems to be three different types of fungus there, not sure bout the first one, but the middle seems to me to be a pholiota, and the last one to me looks like a enoki. You should really take a few more close ups of the last one, and a spore print, I'd be willing to bet money its white, and the cap smells real sweet. Pull the stem out once, and see how it looks. Its hard to tell cause the first pic, the only pic of the bottom of that fungus is rather far away. Even the top of that cap looks to me like enoki, notice how things are sticking to it? Press your finger against that cap and tell me it doesn't stick to it. It may even feel slimy.

Riddle me this, where did you find that last one?




That last shroom screams enoki to me idk why. Perhaps its an illusion.

Jeeze, this post generated a lot of discussion. I never heard of the velvet foot..I am going to look into that for my region.

They are definitely all the same mushroom, they were all growing out of the same log/cluster. Seems like the majority think it's a pholiota, that's what I am going with.

@ snoot- that snowy mushroom picture is incredible! :thumbup:

Wait a cotton picken minute here!

Snoot, in one post you state the last one is Enoke, in the other post you state that the last one is certainly Enoke.

Which is it?

Actually, I'm more comfortable taking BobZ's ID on it.

I'm going give another vote towards pholiota. For what it's worth.

I was assuming they were different fungus, but if they are indeed all three the same then I would be wrong. It just doesnt seem that way to me based on what I see. There isnt much to go on besides seeing a photo.
