Large Unknown found in wood chips in Northeast
    #22312548 - 09/30/15 06:00 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Habitat:

Wood chips at Marriott hotel.

Gills:
attached, close.

Stem:
Length 6", diameter 3/4 - 1", color, texture is solid, see photo.
Cap:

Diameter ~ 3" with in-rolled edge, color, texture, shape: - see photo

Spore print color:  Pending.


Scent of the mushroom:  Same as cubensis.  ("Shroomy" smell).  No bruising when handled or cut.  I'm leaning towards "Lead Poisoner" (Entoloma sinnuatum).





Thanks for any assistance.

Edible?  WOW!  That would be awesome!  Chicken of the Woods, and now these.  There were a shit-ton more just beginning to pop their caps above the mulch scattered around a large region of border gardens to the Marriott parking lot!

Going very nearby there is an every-day thing for me!  WooooHooo!  It's raining cats and dogs here so there should eventually be a bumper crop.  I saw lots of white mycelium scattered over a region more than 100 feet long.

snag some stem butts and plant them in more woodchip/woodlover areas near you and/or in your garden(s).  it's a good garden companion with the added bonus of being delicious.

Lol!  That's why they call me Nature Boy!  I'm always looking at nature and natural phenomena. Bees, birds, bats, trees, flowers, shrooms.  Stars, moon, sun, meteor showers, eclipses...I'm enthralled and my life is enriched by being in harmony with the natural environment.

Check it out!  Every bit of 6" cap.  And lord are they SOLID and meaty!!!  I brought only two home and left a BUNCH.  Can go back any day I want for more.  Going on-line now to figure out how to prepare them.  I'm spore printing the cap of one, and I'll do a tissue sample to agar from the stem after dinner.  The other one goes in the tummy!  Not one creepy-crawley on either of them!





Chicken Marsala, broccoli, and King Stropharia over rice with white wine.  Mmmmmm!!!!!!!!  That's how you spell D-I-N-N-E-R!!

More Marriott Mulch Mushroom Madness [Re: Nature Boy]
    #22320038 - 10/01/15 04:58 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Sorry about the double-post, but I just had to show off the mushrooms that appeared after only one additional day at the Marriott.  It occurred to me that other folks who live in New York ought to visit their local Marriott, park in the parking lot nearest their mulched gardens, and see if there are any King Stropharia there.  I bet they buy their mulch in BULK and this is not an isolated phenomena!!

Anyway, here's today's swag!





Gonna cook a couple up for my wife right now!  P.S.  I cut off the bulbs on all of them and put them in OUR flower garden which has a similar appearing mulch (black, shredded).  Hopefully I'll have my own to harvest from the yard next year.

N.B.

nice finds and additions to dinner.  check those planted stem butts for growth in the coming weeks. 

also: depending on how soon freezing wx hits up there, it might be to your benefit to grab an old flower pot, add some mulch, and put a couple fresh stem butts in it. 

by doing so, you can pull it indoors if there is soon to be a hard/prolonged freeze and assure yourself of having a good supply of spawn that you can spread to your own flower beds in the spring. 

IDK for sure, but it makes sense to me that an established colony of mycelium stands a better chance to live through the winter than a stem butt that is just starting to colonize substrate.  thus the flower pot that you can bring indoors is a hedge against your new outside colonies failing due to poor conditions as they're trying to establish themselves in your flower beds.

You're dinner looks delicious!
The textures of Stropharia rugosoannulata has always seemed kind of weird to me. It feels like biting into a rubber band or something, very rubbery or elastic.

Nice find! Threads like this are why I love this site.
I guess I should go check on my patch, in the mulch by the dollar store.

tried cooking in different ways, i assume?  the ones we've harvested have been just about perfect.  it's the Armillaria, stipes especially, that have been tough, rubbery, and even quite woody at times.

when i've harvested large wine cap specimens in the button stage, or just when the veil is breaking, they've been quite tender to me.  my wife is veerrrry picky about textures of food and even she loves em.  but then again it's the soft, mushy texture that she hates so the rubbery texture--if it is so--isn't something that turns her off.

ETA: what is your favorite edible?  i'd say chanterelles and young chickens (especially cincinnatus) are my favorites...yes, even more so than morels.

Definitely Hericium then Morchella, Boletus edulis and matsutake- which I can never find. I don't mind the rubbery texture so much, it's the rubbery snap that I don't care for, that and they are sorta tasteless IMO.

i've only had Hericium once; it was too far past prime and i threw it away once i tried one bite that i knew wasn't going to be good before i even tasted it.

i've had many of the lesser edible varieties but the choicest have eluded me.  one day.

morels were great of course, but i didn't see what the HUGE deal was about.

I'm with you relic...chanterelles and young chickens are my favorite....I also like the hens and even roosters if you get them early...I think they have my favorite flavors of all...lol..I'm hungry now, all I've had for lunch is bananas.:tongue:

oh man, we found two growths of hens two weekends ago and one of them had an aroma when fresh that was the best i've ever smelled from a fungus.  a mix of almonds, butter, and a light background of something like italian spices...just heavenly.

sadly, the aroma didn't last; two hours later it was nearly gone and by the time i cooked it the aroma had vanished entirely.  the taste, however, was outstanding from that specimen.

located a brand new growth of L. cincinnatus last night in the woods behind my house...only about 3 cm across and just two 'shelves' so far, but i bet it'll be perfect some time this weekend and i can't wait!

lol, i'm starving too and this isn't helping so i'll quit.  forgot my lunch that i packed last night, ugh.

hey, OP, sorry for hijacking your thread.

You kidding?  I don't mind one bit.  I learn something from every post you guys make.  :bow2:

How else am I going to know what to look out for if you fellas don't point me to your favorites!
