hello shroomery!!

I'm located roughly 10 minutes south of Boston, MA. And I hike roughly 10 miles or so a day. In my travels I have often seen gymnopilus junonius in large numbers, even in my yard. I often see those small gray/black guys that seem to always grow in fields.. anyways..

I found this guy today while hiking and wasn't 100% on the identification. If you all could help that would be grand.



I found this spor print of gym





looks very similar to me, my print however got a lil distorted due to the moisture...

Different species of mushrooms sometimes have the same coloured spores and you cannot use the spore colour alone to identify a mushroom. You need to compare other macroscopic features as well. Most id's are made by comparing macroscopic features, the spore colour can help in some harder to id species.


From what I can see your mushroom is not Gymnopilus. Have you a picture of it in habitat or before it was cut up? Providing good pictures of the mushroom itself will help.

No, in my haste I forget to take a picture pre-cut. However this was found growing out of a pine tree stump. It had been raining for two days so I've been keeping an eye out.

Are gymnopilus shrooms developing at this time of year? or is it more so towards the end of this month? With all the rainfall lately tomorrow would be prime picking if its a possibility to find some.

They are down here in Australia. Not sure what's happening in your location as I'm not from there.


Just noticed you are new. Welcome to the shroomery!:mushroomgrow:

Every year is good for pluteus,it's all I mostly find when I go out!

They will grow even when it hasn't rained in a week or so!
