Found some gyms... Help me ID them?
    #21936929 - 07/13/15 11:38 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Habitat: East Tennessee, in the woods on rotting logs, right after a couple days of steady rain

Gills:
Reddish brown, attached

Stem:
Fibrous yet spongey, reddish brown but lighter near the top, no sign of any
"Skirt" but I found them a bit late after a second rain...

Cap:
2 inches in the largest specimen, same color as the stem.

Spore print color:
Taking prints as we speak.

Bruising:
Bluish grey

Other information:
Smells nutty and sweet, I tasted a bit and its a very mellow flavor. Not bitter... Maybe due to picking them after it rained again?

Those aren't Gyms. They look like a Cortinarius species.

No. You should be fine. I think some cortinarius sp. Maybe webcap contain orelanine but that's going by memory and only a few sp have it.

I've learned the hard way to never assume they are a particular sp. And ALWAYS have them identified before tasting and ingesting.

Honestly enough last month a friend and I found what we thought were for sure gymnopilus liquiritae. They were ID's by some as that or as a close resemblance. Without thinking any more about it my gf and friend ate it and went through a pretty rough case of general mushroom poisoning. My f2f got dehydrated and had to go to the ER. It wasn't fun. Gymnopilus is a tricky species so be careful and always get them ID's by a TI like the one above. That's the short much less intense version.:bigyesnod:

Tasting mushrooms isn't particularly dangerous. You'd need to consume a decent amount to suffer adverse effects. I've tasted many deadly mushrooms with no problems. I just spit them out and don't worry about rinsing.
