Summer oysters? Species 1!


Habitat: Deciduous mixed, growing on a large stump Gills:Closely spaced, white, fine Stem: Offcenter white, Solid Cap:Shelf-like, uneven Spore print color: almost lavender\white Bruising: none noticed Smells kinda like seafood This one was found in a pretty skeevy area with a bunch of condoms around it. TONS of Armillaria Tubescens. I'm not sure I should eat it.. haha.
Species 2! Lactarius hygrophoroides? Supposedly a tasty Lactarius, if so.


Habitat: Deciduous mixed, growing on the ground near water Gills:Widely spaced, creamy nearly yellow, some wrinkles inbetween gills and some tiny forks in the gills near the cap margins Stem: Central, solid, light Pumpkin on the outside, white inside Cap: Sunken and darker towards the center, an orangey, pumpkin color. Fine velvety appearance. Spore print color: TBD Bruising: Brown on the gills, sticky lactating when bruised Not sure how to describe the smell..
Species 3! Some kind of Gym?
 Habitat: Deciduous mixed forest, Growing on decaying wood, near water Gills:medium spacing, brown\rusted in spots, pale brown nearly grey Stem: Rusty web remnants on a pale stalk, somewhat fragile Cap: Mottled, brown, pale yellow, greying lilac color Spore print color: Rusty brown, visible on the stalk's ring remnants Bruising: None noticed
Wow this one is really hard to describe.. I think it was quite old when I found it, so I didn't bother to collect it.

1. Pleurotus 2. Lactarius 3. Maybe Cortinarius?

Lactarius hygrophoroides sounds good for 2

The gills in iodes look much closer together, and the stem in #3 doesn't seem fat enough? There was no slime on the cap, so I can't really use that as a factor either... Dunno.

Are you taking into consideration the age/condition of your observation?
I would suggest looking more into Cortinarius if you'd like to figure out the species, they aren't Gymnopilus in any case

Yeah I trust that it's not a gym at this point. I'll look through a few corts, maybe! I'm not too hopeful on an ID.

It is Cortinarius iodes. No other Cort has white spots like those.
