A walk in the valley. PNW Willamette valley.
    #19011299 - 10/21/13 11:11 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I need to find a cheap DSLR one of these days. These are all from todays hunt. I did not collect any specimen just pictures.

I was thinking they where Stropharia ambigua. I have never eaten them. Have you tried them?

I was in a hurry hiking with friends, I didn't get a chance to stay around and adjust for lighting. I am stuck just using an Iphone4 for pics at the moment. It tends to overexpose.

That would be my guess as well.

I have not.  Perhaps someone else has more information there.  Most guides list it as inedible.  But there are some internet reports that it is of good edibility.  :shrug:

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.

I was just wondering Mushrooms Demystified says "Edible? according to one authority it tastes " like dead leaves"...

I may try and bring home a specimen of the Macrolepiota next time I see it. I think those are Macrolepiota procera, not %100.

Macrolepiota species of some sort for sure.  Consider Macrolepiota rachodes too when you bring one home for ID.  A good look at the stipe should narrow it down pretty quick.

Chlorophyllum rhacodes 100% based on the habitat, and the stipe looks smooth.

The stipe is definitely smooth. I will keep that observation in my field notes.

I had another pick of it from the underside, but I ran out of upload space for now.

Those look like C. oliverii to me.

C. rachodes have more of a broken outer sack that makes up the dark concentric patters on the cap.

C. oliverii has this furry appearance you see here.

Like this

This is very confusing. Our European Chlorophyllum rhacodes look exactly like the ones in the OP, in all the field guides, and are always described as very shaggy. You could very well be right, those you posted could be the real C. rhacodes. They shouldn't have the same name tough, they are very different, and it can be quite confusing.

The rhacodes I find down here also often look very much like the ones pictured. 

Shag city baby.  :crazy2:

I would have called it Chlorophyllum olivieri based on the overall grey coloring, even behind the scales.

I don't think so, I have never observed Stropharia ambigua in Mexico.

Curecat fried some up in butter until they were golden brown and fed me some.  They looked delicious and tasted like dirt, worst flavor of any mushroom I have ever tried.  Someone on facebook posted yesterday that he loves eating them and they have a great earthy flavor.    I will try to keep a more open mind next time I try them.

Chanterelles taste like dead leaves to me but I still like them.

Macrolepiota procera is only in Europe, there are several delicious undescribed species in North America.

The last pic might be Cyptotrama.

Pic one I was leaning towards Inocybe species. At first glance the last pic looked like Mycena oregonense, but that was just a glance over. I will read over Cyptotrama and compare.

I've always thought chanterelles tasted similar Top Ramen Noodles. Or is it ramen tastes like chants?

Pic 1 is an Armillaria.  It is pic 5 that might be Cyptotrama. 

It looks like it is finely hairy/scaly, which is why I did not try to call it Chryomphalina.

Shoulda' had a V8, damn.

I am always hesitant on Armillaria. I have not sat down to get to know it well enough. It's yet another fungus I have not tried to eat.

To tell you the truth, I hate the taste and texture of most mushrooms. Just finding out their taxa is more fulfilling to me.
