wild edibles ID request
    #18970860 - 10/13/13 01:42 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Greetings,

I'm went hunting for wild edibles this week in western Oregon and found a few mushrooms I believe are edible (per the online guide I was using). I'm a novice though and find this site has been a life saver in the past, so maybe I can get your more experienced opinion on these?

1.
(1)

(1) This first group we believe to be red cracked boletes. The younger one's had a lighter color in general compared to the older ones, but otherwise the traits below were consistent for the batch.

Habitat: Found growing from the ground under ferns and amongst the grass in shady areas; Found in mixed woods with conifers and deciduous trees.

Gills: under the cap only; yellow (young) to green (older)in color, and pores/tubes instead of gills/flaps.

Stem: off-White with lots of red color (younger ones more of a yellow/orange to white; hardy, solid and meaty. average size 3" diameter.

Cap: redish-brown to brown, smooth on top and some were cracked, with pores underneath instead of gills

Spore print color: yellowish-brown

Bruising: No color change was observed.

Location: Western Oregon, United States
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

2.

(2) We think these one's might be fairy ring mushrooms.

Habitat: Found growing from the grass in shady areas on/along a logging road. 

Gills: under the cap only; creamy brown in color; many gills closely spaced apart

Stem: off-White to brown in color; 2-3mm in diameters; hardy stems that are surprisingly bendable before they break. Stems seem to be solid except when you cut or break them you can see a small hollow core. Fir or shag towards the base.

Cap: light brown to darker brown; some shaggyness on top like the stems; gills underneath the cap. There is a small hump or slight point in the center of some caps.

Spore print color: dark brown

Bruising: little to no color change was observed.

Location: Western Oregon, United States

Thank so much for reading my post and for any help in IDing these!

It looks like a Boletus, and a Cortinarius.

#1 actually looks like 2 boletales; a bolete which might be B. chrysenteron but could easily be something other and what looks like a Suillus.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

You're right. #1 is two different species. The Suillius being the one that has a slimy cap and slimy annulus. The Bolete having pink on the stem top and base.

Meh, not seing any red staining on the cracks or margin of the cap and I wonder if I might be seeing faint, scruffy apical reticulation in the stipe.

B. zelleri or something similar looks better than B. chrysenteron.

So whether the mushrooms in pics 1 and (1) are b. zelleri, b. chrysenteron or Suillus, the sources I read say they are generally safe to eat though they should be cooked and tested in small amounts to begin. I ask for confirmation on this as my gf wants to cook a dish them them.

It sounds like the shrooms in pic 2 are not likely edible from I read about Cortinarius.

Thank you for your input!

Cut them open quick. Save what you can from the bugs. Bugs love the xerocomus boletes.
