Beech tree Ireland Smelly white no stalk - what is it? UPDATE w/pics
    #18731305 - 08/20/13 08:34 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Habitat:
Woodland beech tree line of trees growing on a bank - roots of trees exposed. Mushrooms growing from the raised bank - dry soil.

Gills:
No gills to be seen.

Stem:
No stem.

Cap:
It looks like a white truffle growing above the ground to be honest!
Very off white colour, VERY smelly, roundish, globular growths, not perfectly round. Solid to the touch.

Spore print color:
Have no picked it yet.

Bruising:
None.

Other information:
There are 2 growing there - i've seen one only before on another beech tree raised up growing out of a high bank.
Will post a picture later to help.

It looks like a un-even round, hard, lump that has a pungent aroma!
I've cut into one of these before and the inner texture reminds me of a truffle - but truffles don't grow above the ground ever do they?

This is in Ireland. After a dry hot period followed by a lot of rain.

Any help appreciated - i can't even find a picture online that looks like this shroom!

Hi there,

Thanks for the suggestions - but it's none of those listed. I've found a few of those puffballs you mention - i really low puffballs!

I will take a pic tomorrow when i walk that route again.

I think this shroom is still developing...i did notice other shrooms that were like it but had developed more of a stalk like a cep, but it was all mushy...very stinky...and looks like it's covered in a thick coat of white mould. The texture was very squidy as if very old but i think this is how these develop when quite young.

Also there was yellowish drops coming out of these other ones.

The smell of them is really quite remarkable! The most stinky shroom i know of! Don't think it's edible...the smell is off-putting enough!

Not a stinkhorn - certainly not! I am familiar with them - and their egg state...have not had the guts to try them young yet..hahaa..

I have just moved so all my I.D books are in a box somewhere...it's really bugging me!

I did find some blushers, boletes and 'stew' fungus...will post pics in another thread. There's been a real flush of them as we've had good sun for a few weeks and a good amount of rain.

I discovered many huge ceps way past their best...i wish i had walked around the woods a week ago!

Will definately post a pic tomorrow about this anomolous stinky thing to put the matter to bed :-)

It doesn't look like it's grown yet. I found a globular yellow mess that baffled me, but I went back a few days later and it had grown to look completely different. Give it a while and see if it grows into something identifiable. If this is the fully grown fungus then wow!

Entoloma abortivum is the only thing I can think of that resembles this. :shrug:
Is the inside colour pinkish?

Maybe you're right. I didn't pick this one and haven't been back to see development. I will tomorrow as there were younger ones there.

One i found exactly like this i did take and cut open and it was a kind of pinkish white.

It really resembles a mushroom that's growing 'wrong' if you understand me.
The smell is such an intense pungent mushroom smell i wish there was such a thing as a smell-o-cam!

The only other thing that's growing around here similar to it in smell is a typical mushroom shape but it looks like it's covered, stem and cap, in a thick layer of white mould. They're very squidgy to the touch and are a bright yellow inside. So i wondered if this thing i found is a under-developed version of that?

I'll update the thread if i find anything else out about this oddity!

Could be something attacked by Hypomyces species. If you find a young specimen please post detailed pictures, and of the cross section. E. abortivum should be quite firm tough.
