Armillaria species?
    #19042935 - 10/27/13 09:46 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hey mycophiles,

Can someone offer a guess as to what these might be?  They look Armillaria-ish to my noob eyes.  I know I should provide a correct ID request but I didn't bring home any samples so I'd really just be describing the photos and you don't need me to do that for you.  If they look like they might be edible, that would be incentive enough for me to get some samples tomorrow and return with spore print photos, measurements, etc.

Thanks,

Yes.  Compare with Armillaria mellea.

I have a hard time with how to describe what a mushrooms cap and stem looks like. Would you say the pictures here show the cap as wooly or scaly or something else entirely?

Scaly would be the proper term to my understanding.  The young annulus
(and stems) I would consider wooly.

Thanks a bunch! I guess it could be subjective to the noob. I thought scaly but then when I think of scales I think of snakes and lizards. So then I thought maybe wooly. Anyway mucho help here, I appreciate it.:thumbup:

Cool, thanks.  Using this Tom Volk key I guess either A. solidipes or sinapina.  I'll get a spore print tomorrow.

It was growing at the trunk of (what I would guess) was a conifer and I'm in the PNW btw.

I'm a bit confused by the Armillaria genus.  Are all PNW Armillaria edible?  A white spore print will indicate non-Galerina-ness, right?  After that are there other look-a-likes to watch out for?

They are edible to most people. They have to be well cooked or they have been known to cause some gastric upset. They are of very good flavor and texture. Personally at times that I have consumed them I don't get sick but my stomach feels a bit heavy. But this year it did not affect me like that.
and they were gooooood
Yes white spore print. Everyone is confused with the genus don't feel special.

Those are beyond doubt the prettiest honeys I've ever seen in my entire life.

If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

Armillaria solidipes is certainly a good possibility as well.  But they are usually a darker brown in my experience. 

Your mushrooms are certainly a species of Armillaria.  All Armillaria are edible to my knowledge, but some people are intolerant to them.  Eat a small amount first, as you should with any new mushroom.

Thanks for the help with the ID everyone and the appreciation for the photos: they're a very photogenic mushroom.

@Lhun: I found some darker ones that appear to be Armillaria too that I'm trying to ID in this other thread -- maybe those ones are A. solidipes?

I've got some more photos.  Sadly someone thought it best to tear every single one of these mushrooms from the stump and throw them on the ground before they could mature -- way to go somebody...

Anyways,

Yeah these look like Armillaria solidipes.  Too bad someone trashed 'em.
