Unknown, almond-scented mushroom from last fall
    #18194479 - 04/30/13 09:46 PM (10 years, 10 months ago)

Stumbled across these photos of an interesting mushroom I found last fall.  Its strong almond smell was very interesting, and I'd like to know what it is.  I'm guessing that it's a Pholiota, but I'm not too sure beyond that.

Portland, OR. November 2012 Found on a log in mixed woodlands.
Cap: ~6 cm in diameter; very viscid; slightly shaggy on margin; EXTREMELY strong smell of almond extract/benzaldehyde.
Stalk: ~5 long, 1 cm in diameter; scaly.
Gills: Adnate, fairly close; slightly darker than cap; spore print dark rusty-brown.

Pholiota sp. maybe something like Pholiota oregonensis

When you say almond smell, do you mean benzaldehyde or cyanide?

It's interesting that almonds and cherries have essentially the same aroma.

Yeah, a benzaldehyde smell, and and a very strong one at that.  I stored it in a tupperware till I got home, and when I opened it and took a whiff it was like sniffing a bottle of synthetic almond flavoring.

Freshly cut cherrywood has that smell as well. What was the substrate?

A very old, mossy, decomposed log.  I couldn't even tell you if it was hardwood or softwood.
