golden pholiota? (pholiota aurivella) and an ID request
    #19145038 - 11/16/13 12:04 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

When I saw these from about 50 feet away, I was hoping for gyms. No such luck.




Let me know what you guys think it is.  If it is indeed the golden pholiota, I've read that they are edible. If this is the case, have any of you tried them? What would be a good method for prepping them?

Also, I'd like to have these ID'd

The second one looks like a Lepista species to me.

Pholiota squarrosa for number one (sorry about the spelling, I'm being lazy lol)

Don't hold me to that and please don't make any decisions on consumption because of anything I have to say :smile: just throwing it out there to compare, cool finds tho :smile:

Nah I've not seen a Lepista species like that. It just seems to have the characteristics of one.

They are Pholiota aurivella.  That being said, the only thing I know about their edibility is that its contested.

Sure does!  It's so pale though I don't think its L. nuda.  Even washed out ones tend to show some signs of purple.  I wonder if its something cool like Lepista irina?

Thanks Lhun! That was my instinctive first thought after referring to my field guides. One book says that it is a good edible- but use caution. The other book says that they should be avoided. Some people have had gastric upset after consumption. That same book says that the texture and taste resemble marshmallows with out sugar. 

Pass. Lol

The second one might be Clitocybe brunneocephala.

Thanks Alan! I'll look those up as well.

I think that might be it. I REALLY need a microscope. I am going to order one.

Any good suggestions? I want to be able to use it for anything needed for IDing and I'd like to be able to take pictures of spores to post for IDing. If I'm going to make the purchase, id rather spend more and get something good than a cheap piece of junk that will have to be replaced soon.

Since you are new to microscopy you should get the cheap scopes, and if you end up liking them in a few years you can get something nice.

An Amscope B-100ms does everything you need for $200, also you need some immersion oil type A and a reticle and camera.

How does this look for the reticle?

Do you have a camera recommendation?

One final additional id request.

Puff ball: what type? Is it edible? I hear that the white centers mean edible.


Hydnum repandum? *Dentinum repandum*

Looks good, but if you are going to use a camera then you need a stage micrometer, not a reticle.

I suggest a Canon 60d with an adapter from microscopenet.com and the wired remote shutter release.  Not the cheapest microscope camera but you deserve some badass gear for putting up with your hilarious wife.

The puffball looks like a Handkea.

Your Hydnum looks like H. umbilicatum.

Which stage micrometer do you recommend?
They are ludicrously expensive for what you are getting...

May you be filled with loving kindness.
May you be well.

Would this stage micrometer do the trick?

Thanks for the advice, Alan! I'll look into the camera today too.

Actually, this is were a microscope won't help too much, smell and general location (State? Country?) would help more.  I find C. brunneocephala here, its usually more brown on the cap ime.
