Help ID several species found on hike please
#22238967 - 09/14/15 10:21 PM (8 years, 4 months ago) |

I took my kid on a hike through the woods around my property a few days ago and ran across several species of wild mushrooms. I went back today and got pics of the undersides of all but one that I couldn't find again.
On another note, could any one tell me where I could find a list of edibles in my area with ID help preferably. I'm really new with this and I seem to be having a hard time with the small differences some of them have. I found the list of actives in my area, but even google searches just came up with a bunch of peoples top ten favs lists.
Anyway, here's the ones I've ran across lately. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
#1

Habitat: Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.
Top of creek bank on roots. Southern piedmont NC, USA
Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
N/A
Stem: Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
3-4", light brown,
Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
1 1/2-2", brown, soft, convex
Spore print color: Very important!
N/A
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
None noticed
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.
I hadn't read the info needed my first time out and couldn't find these again today.
#2

#5 Turkey tail I think

#6 Reishi is the only thing I could find that looks close, but I'm probably wrong.

Cool and weird to me, 2 purple spots and 2 brown spots opposite each other,it didn't give a normal round print just dots in like quadrants, it was 2 days after the rain tho and it's been dry around here. pic included tho its kinda blurry, you can still make out the colors
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.

Your photos aren't that clear.
#1 looks like a Armillaria species. #6 looks like a Ganoderma.

Ok thanks, most of them probably aren't going anywhere, I'll try to get some better pics. The first ones I couldn't find any more of tho, and the last ones I'll have to wait for the next rain probably, I have the dried specimans of it tho, only found 2 but cut both from the stem and made prints.

Ok guys, I've been doing some research and heres what I think. Maybe some of you more experienced folk can give me your opinions on what I've found.
1. Armillaria 2. Cantharellus Subalbidus 3. Phellinus Rimosis 4. Same as #3 5. Stereum Ostrea 6. Ganoderma Lucidum 7. Psilocybe Semilanceata

Thanks relic, but just out of curiosity, why do you think I'm wrong on #7? It has a purple-brown spore print. The pic of the print is really zoomed in and blurry, but the colors are genuine.

#3 and #5 are polypores ,well I'm pretty sure they are...they had a porous sponge like mass in place of gills no? Trametes vesicolor ? Hapalopilus nidulans? Polyporus alveolaris? Its hard to.say from the pictures...
Its very hard to tell from you pictures, most would be looking for a very clear picture of the cap, gills, and stem, and spore print.
(Though you may want to look into the coprophilic species, well I thought I saw a coprophilic species, which would be your best bet at an active.)

Actually I'm fairly sure #7 is Deconica coprophila.
What do you think?

# 6 is NOT Ganoderma lucidum. Rather it is Ganoderma curtisii.

From the pics I've found, the Coprophila has more of a convex, or rounded cap like these.

#7 on my list has more of a conical shape and lighter color. The pics of just the caps were after I printed them and they were dry.

I really appreciate everyones help. I am really new at this and I am trying to understand all these minute differences so I can run wild local specials in my restaraunt. I've also been researching other wild edible plants in my area. If anyone could point me toward a good field guide, that would be awesome. I'm in the southern piedmont NC region.

Thoughts on number 7:
What color was the spore print?
I have actually seen psilocybe coprophilia that had a lighter color...
 psilocybe coprophilia
http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Protostropharia_semiglobata.html Stropharia semiglobata
There's also a coprophilic conocybe that looks similar, but I cant think of the Latin name...
Let me know if you figure it out...

stem is wrong, habitat wrong, cap shape wrong, color wrong, p sure it's the wrong place in the world for them to be fruiting right now.
keep lookin and keep posting fungi pics. have fun!

if you're in southern NC and looking for actives look in cow fields, especially during very warm and humid/moist conditions...cube season might be fading there now/soon with the cool down and dryer weather.
i've found them in the past just over the border, about 20 miles into SC, in a previous life but not in the couple of times i've looked in NC.

Spore print was purple and brown, although it didn't drop very well, which I heard libs don't drop spores well at room temperature anyway. It was like 2 purple spots and 2 brown spots. It was growing on straight cow poo outside, which is what everything says they grow on, and it was 2 days after a rain during a cool spell right before fall. I mean, I'm not trying to argue with experience, but conditions sound pretty normal for libs to me avcording to my research.

I'm not only looking for actives, those are for when me and the wife get lucky with a day off together, I'm looking mostly for edibles, but I need to learn more about specific identification methods.
