Lots of identifications in norcal
    #21722959 - 05/25/15 10:38 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Just a heads-up: I should have brought a notepad and a tape measurer.  I'm not very good at estimating, but I have a tape measurer, now, and I'm going to do my best.

(ALL) Altitude: ~6,200 feet.  California.  Rained all week, lightly cloudy and very light sprinkles today.  Forest-swamp area near a meadow where horses walk (however, only one was found in dung).  Also, coyotes, bears, and a few deer live here.  60-farenheit in the shade, 69-f in the sun.  My sincerest apologies, but I was unable to get spore print colors.  I took black-and-white paper and put them in a paper bag, but I didn't see anything on the plate when I opened the bag a few minutes later.  I will try to get better info in the future.

(1) SiblingA

Habitat:

Fairly dry forest soil, in the medium-shaded mulch under a log.  Dead pine log nearby, dead tall grass all around.  Medium-dense pine needles. 

Gills:
Yellow-orange gills, attachment unclear, gills. 

Stem: ~4 cm height, ~3 cm diameter, yellow-white, thin vert lines, medium density, thick.

Cap: ~10 cm diameter, red-yellow with crimson spots, fluffy, flat, several had dimples/folds, up-turned edge.

Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Dark red and black.


(2) SiblingB

Habitat:

Fairly dry forest soil, in sunny mulch.  Dead pine log nearby, dead tall grass all around.  Medium-dense pine needles. 

Gills:
Yellow-white gills, attachment unclear, gills. 

Stem: ~4 cm height, ~3 cm diameter, yellow-white, bark-like lines, medium density, thick.

Cap: ~8 cm diameter, orange-white pattern, fluffy, convex dome-shape,  edge turns into gills.

Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Red.


(3) Ripply.

This is pretty unique.  I feel like you might be able to get it from the picture alone.






(4) Raiden

Habitat:

Dry soil, in medium mulch.  Possibly growing out of a pine stump.  Living grass growing into the roots.  Medium-dense pine needles. 

Gills:
Orange-white gills, attachment unclear, gills. 

Stem: ~5.5 cm height, ~1 cm diameter, light brown (mild transparency), little bumps, partially hollow (maybe 2 mm), thin.

Cap: ~6 cm diameter, brown with low variance, fluffy, convex and curls up at the edge, striping and tears, medium-sharply up-turned edge.

Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Unknown.


(5) Lady Purple

Habitat:
Mild-damp swampy area, in low, bent grass.  Not far from fresh rainwater, in an area shaded by pine and aspen.  Light mulch. All by itself, right by/on the walking path.

Gills:
White gills, likely unattached, seemingly darker on the inside. 

Stem: ~6 cm height, ~1.5 cm diameter, noticeably purple, smooth, hollow appearance, thin and delicate.

Cap: ~5.5 cm diameter, purple-brown center white periphery, fleshy, convex with curled-up edges, ring-shaped dimple at the apex, rippled lines all around.

Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Possibly light blue (edges), unknown (center).


(6) Hippy Meg

Habitat:
Medium-damp swampy area, in low, standing grass.  Not far from fresh rainwater, in sunlight on its own.  Very light mulch (just dead grass).  Nowhere near the path.

Gills:
Orange-white gills, unsure of attachment.  Unfortunately, I was hustled off and didn't get a clear look.  Possibly even had pores. 

Stem: ~7 cm height, ~1.5 cm diameter, brown with small white spots like sugar, smooth, hollow appearance (maybe 1.5 mm), thin and fleshy.

Cap: ~3 cm diameter, orange-brown with sun spots, fluffy, convex with a flat top, no dimples, sharp edges.

Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Unknown.


(7) Lovers

Habitat:
Medium-damp forest area, in medium-dense pine mulch.  Growing right by a petrified pine cone.  Very light grass.  Found in light shade.  Nowhere near the path.

Gills:
Light white-purple gills, likely attached.

Stem: ~6 cm height, ~2 cm diameter, white with striped lines, smooth, fleshy, hollow appearance (like celery but lighter and finer), thin and fragile.

Cap: ~7.5 cm diameter, dark brown and light brown, fluffy (portabello-like), convex, noticeable pizza-shaped slit, round edges.

Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Unknown.


(7) Loner

Habitat:
Right under a freshly-fallen pine tree.  Damp soil.  Low-to-no mulch. Possibly even growing into the tree.  (I found this one early and was afraid to pull it out because it was the only one.).

Gills:
Unfortunately I didn't look; rather, I just snapped a picture.  The flash from the camera really makes me wonder about the colors.  I realize now that the attachment is important, also.  In the future, I will look much more carefully. 

Stem: ~5 cm height, ~3 cm diameter, white and yellow with thick-striped lines, griddy, popcorn texture, dense appearance, pretty solid.

Cap: ~16 cm diameter, orange, fluffy and fleshy, flat, lots of cracks, round edges.

Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Unknown.

(8) Gold

Habitat:
Moist forest area, medium-deep mulch (bark), near a nice plant and a ant nest.  Growing all around a bunch of fallen pines and aspens.  Found in cool shade with a few rays of light.  Virgin ground.

Gills:
White and deep.  Are these attached (you can kind of see)?


Stem: ~6 cm height, ~1.5 cm diameter, white, smooth, fleshy, hollow appearance, sparkly (maybe it's moisture), thin and fragile.

Cap: ~2.75 cm diameter, shiny brown-white, fluffy and smooth, convex with flat edges, noticeable groove-lines, sharp edges.


Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Unknown.


(9) Dung-Born

Habitat:
Shady path.  No mulch.  Growing out the side of horse dung.  The path is pretty muddy, here, but I don't see any iron.  Looks like baby ferns or something growing around.  About 50-50 shade for sunlight. 

Gills:
Black and yellow (possibly it's getting old).  Possibly the black is a pore?


Stem: ~7.5 cm height, ~1.5 cm diameter, white, bark-like, almost fuzzy, hollow appearance, looks pinched/bent, thin and fragile.

Cap: ~4.5 cm diameter, shiny light brown-yellow-white, fluffy and very smooth/shiny, convex with curved-in, noticeable dents.


Spore print color:
n/a.

Bruising:
Unknown.

1 + 2 possibly Hebeloma sp.
3 is a Morchella sp.
4 Mycena sp.
5 Mycena sp., probably M. pura
6 looks like a Conocybe sp.
7a could be Entoloma sp.
7b looks like an Agrocybe sp.
8 is a Mycena sp.
9 Panaeolus sp.?? :shrug: Sure it grew directly from dung and not possibly wood buried underneath it?

Try to always take good shots of the gills and the entire stem, including the base. Don't shy away from digging it out. :smile:

Little more info? [Re: Anglerfish]
    #21723914 - 05/26/15 07:55 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hey, friend.  Thank you so much for the info.

I'm sorry to bother you about this, but can you also indicate psychoactive, edible, poisonous?  I'm especially interested to see what's poisonous and what's edible, but it would be hell of cool to find psychoactive ones. For example, I'm sure I found at least ten fly agaric right near my place.  I don't even know what to do with them except be like: "Yay!  I found some!"  ^^

Hebeloma sp. - possibly toxic.
Morchella sp. - edible indeed, a great delicacy.
Mycena sp. - inedible
Mycena sp., probably M. pura - apparently toxic
looks like a Conocybe sp. - possibly toxic
could be Entoloma sp. - possibly toxic, inedible in any case
looks like an Agrocybe sp. - perhaps edible, probably not worth it
Mycena sp. - inedible
Panaeolus sp.?? :shrug: Sure it grew directly from dung and not possibly wood buried underneath it? - n/a, uncertain of species

None of your finds are psychoactive.

Wow, I can't believe Ripply is edible.  It's the coolest and most dangerous looking one to the untrained eye.  I was hoping it was edible because it also looks really yummy, like well-made gluten.

Morchella sp. have a very unique taste and aroma. Even though the one you got wouldn't do much
in a meal, you could still dry it then smoulder it into a cream sauce for extra flavor.

Check again in the spot you found it for more. You might get lucky! :thumbup:
