Amanita muscaria ID Request - Mornington Peninsula
    #21709281 - 05/22/15 06:33 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hello,

I think what I have here is Amanita muscaria. If a couple of people could confirm it that would be terrific! :laugh:

#1



Habitat:
The mushrooms are growing in grass beneath pine trees and Silver Birch.

Gills:
I didn't get a particularly detailed look at them because I was in a hurry, but the gills appeared to be a creamy white in colour, evenly spaced and free.


Stem:
The stem is 3-5cm wide, 10-15cm tall and white in colour. The specimen I pulled out of the ground had the characteristic bulbous volva and remnents of the universal veil at a few points of the stem.


Cap:
The younger specimens are convex and the older are totally flat or slightly concave. They are a slightly shiny red with white spots.


I don't have a spore print for this mushroom but from what I have read, we should be able to make an ID for A. muscaria without it. Is this okay? Let me know if it's necessary.









#2
Also, I noticed a bunch of these growing in tanbark at the base of an Elm tree. Does anybody know what they are?

Habitat: Tanbark. They were growing right up next to the tree trunk.

Stem: <1cm wide and hollow. Opaque-ish white, fibrous and a bit stringy in composition. Approximately 5-10cm tall.




Gills: Evenly spaced, dark brownish black.



Cap: Convex shape with tiny ridges radiating away from the centre. Creamy white with a darkening centre.



Spore print: Very black and solid colour.




Thanks! :laugh:

Yes, Amanita muscaria.

Your other mushroom is Coprinellus micaceus.

That's very interesting.

I have seen them around a few times. These ones are growing only a few kilometres from Melbourne CBD!


Thanks for the ID everyone. :laugh:
