Id mushrooms found while hiking in shenandoah national park
    #22000576 - 07/26/15 04:16 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Found these while walking a trail in Virginia, sorry I never took a picture of where they were growing, but the reason I picked them is because they looked very familiar to shrooms I've eaten in the past, so I thought I would try and ask anyone on here if they could possibly try and tell me if they are any sort of magic mushroom or if I should stay away from them.

Spot found: they were scattered along this hillside, very shady and this area has seen a lot of rain as of late. Coming out of the ground not growing from a tree stump.

Smell: they have an earthy kind of old smell to them

Color: as you can see in the pictures they have a brownish tiny to them

And I should note they are kinda dry, they were not fresh when I found them. I'm really new to this and kind of just picked these up on the fly so any words of wisdom would be awesome!

Nice! Those look active but don't eat or take my word until a TI chimes in!

Dude no way! I was pretty skeptical when picking them but of the vast amount of shrooms I saw that day, these stood out the most! Yea so I'm hoping someone will chime in now!

I want to see what these things are and if they're active or inactive. After looking again I see a velvety layer that's blue and not the actual mushroom so :shrug:

Yea I know what you mean but I thought a greenish blue tint was a good sign?

I would say that these are Gymnopus sp and are not active and that the blue green you see is a result of some sort of mold (or coloration only) and not blue bruising and oxidation. That said, I have never seen such long stiped Gymnopus before however I'm fairly certain that's exactly what they are, sorry to burst your bubble. Someone will likely be along shortly that can identify them more exactly.

Man I was really hoping these would be active, oh well. So who would be able to safely identify them? Are there moderators in here who weed through all the posts?

Interesting nontheless, I'm guessing you didn't get a spore print from any of these? Growing in grass or dirt or...?

Either way man it's a cool find but now that I see it better I can tell they aren't active. Keep looking though! There are actives that grow in your area.

Moldy. :thumbdown:

If you look towards the apex of the stems, you can clearly see the fuzzy mold very clearly (check out the largest mushroom at the top of photo #5). Do not eat any of these.
