A few photos from today's hunt
    #22188182 - 09/04/15 01:40 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)


All mushrooms were found in or at the edges of woods containing mostly beeches and oaks, but some birches, chestnuts and willows as well. Altitude 100 to 200 m. Day temperature around 25 °C, during night 15 °C. There were a few rainy days during the last few weeks, with the last one being yesterday.

I didn't collect any specimens except a few russulas, so I don't have any info about spore prints. However, I'm hoping that some of the more experienced hunters could help ID some of the mushrooms on the photos below:


1) A purple Russula. I usually pick purple and green varieties.

 
2), 3) Trametes versicolor?

     
4), 5), 6), 7) Amanita, but I have no idea which one. The light and faintly colored cap confuses me.


8) A Ramaria species. Usually when I find one, there are also many more nearby, but this time I've only found this one.


9) Marasmius bulliardii?


10) Phellinus?

 
11), 12) From far away it looked almost like a Macrolepiota.

 
13), 14) Found growing on a old stump. The gills are white.

 
15), 16) I found many of these, often in small groups. They can also be seen near the apparently very delicious stump on the picture to the right (lower left corner).

 
17), 18) Xerocomus? and a Russula, best friends.

   
19), 20), 21) This one was found on the edge of a small coniferous forest.

 
22), 23) These two were the first mushrooms I found today.

     
24), 25), 26), 27) I also found these interesting purple pins on a stump and met a few interesting fellas.

Summer is pretty dry here as well. Occasional downpours help a bit, but longer periods of rain usually don't begin before October.

I plan to go to another forest tomorrow. I'm thinking about picking Trametes versicolor. Until recently, I mostly ignored this type of mushrooms, but after reading about its medicinal properties, it seems like a shame not to use this gift of nature.  :mushroomgrow:

yea man, i basically collect all medicinal mushrooms, dehydrate them, and label them in jars.  Though i dont use them on a regular basis, who knows maybe one day a sickness will come around and some good ole mushroom tea will contain the cure. 

I am also a very STRONG believer in the fact that Nature is in PERFECT balance with everything.  Meaning, nature will not create 1 thing without haveing the correct counter balance avaliable for it, thus to prevent it becoming too strong, or dominant.  So therefor i look at bacteria and virsus the same way.  If a virus exists, then according to the law of nature, so must a natural cure, we just havent found it.

of course alot of people disagree with me.

:thumbup: Better to be safe than sorry. I managed to collect quite a nice amount of T. versicolor; they will be a nice addition to my cultivated oyster mushrooms, which are also known for their medicinal properties. Adding shiitake in the mix, can make an even better medicinal mixture. Who knows, maybe a strong mushroom hunting and cultivating tradition is also one of the reasons for long life expectancy of the Japanese people.

Even if a cure for some disease is hard to find, there is always natural genetic diversity and mutations which allow some specimens of a species to survive, even if the vast majority is negatively effected. Nature has its ways.

Oh, I almost forgot, today I found this lovely bolete:



I foresee a tasty future for him, which involves scrambled eggs, some onions, herbs and a bit of salt.

11 and 12 are Amanita fulva/amerifulva or something else in sect. vaginatae, and 19, 20, and 21 too but don't know which species for that one.

Your Amanita sp. in 4, 5, 6, and 7 appear to be Amanita rubescens var. alba, it is rather pale.

13, and 14 are Hymenopellis sp.

Interesting, I usually stay away from amanitas when I recognize them, but it is nice to know there are edible species here as well. During the last two days I found two large specimens of Amanita fulva, on separate locations. As for the Amanita rubescens, loads of them can be found at the moment.

The only amanita species, I would dare to consume is A. caesarea. Literature states that they can sometimes be found in my region, but I've had no luck so far.
