i can certainly see where you're coming from. those are meatier than i see usually.
it is the reason i bought a real microscope. with a lot of supporting rationales, of course
i have a collection on my table now i need to scope to get closer to id on. they're orange-ishy
to galerina, or not to galerina...
in my opinion, its worth a hundred twenty to never have to worry or depend on someone else's opinion when its YOUR liver n kidneys at stake (and possibly your friends' too.)
if you're serious about the hobby OP, i suggest you consider obtaining one. and if you're able, go get a specimen of the second batch (which i agree do not look so charactaristicly gymy) maybe have someone local look at it for you. it can't hurt to have a specimen at hand if needed.

The Lightning said: Ok. I'm going to list the distinguishing features between Galerina and Gymnopilus that I see in the original collection.
Here's what I see for the original collection (not the Galerina photos that we do agree on):
1. Two of the stipes show limited venticose swelling. 2. The pileii are meaty. 3. There appears to be slight bluing on at the base of the stipe of at least one specimen. On the other hand, there are much darker, black hues, which is very worthy of questioning. OP confirmed green-blue areas when a magnifying glass was used. 4a. Despite some species descriptions of G. junonius mentioning only a solid stipe, one MushroomObserver observation clearly shows the stipe can be hollow: http://mushroomobserver.org/25544?q=2f1AD 4b. Gymnopilus luteus (which is worth comparing to), is a very close relative of G. junonius and has been observed STUFFED (and others solid), and stipes that are stuffed can become hollow. See http://mushroomobserver.org/107835?q=2f1AD
Seriously Light, your going through a bout of confirmation bias right now.....
You made a mistake. Give it up, admit it.
Some people really need to slow their roll....

somuchlove, can you recall if the first collection was very bitter tasting? Were the other mushrooms not very bitter?
More importantly, how are you doing?
All of the mushrooms in this thread are Galerina marginata.

The Lightning said: I am confident that the mushrooms in the OP are a Gymnopilus species and that species is currently known as Gymnopilus junonius (=Gymnopilus spectabilis). Some of you need to slow your role with identifying.
I am sorry, but I have to remove your TI tag.
We can't have TI's that mistake Galerina marginata for Gymnopilus.
I really appreciate your outstanding contributions to mycology and I sincerely hope you continue to post a lot. Please don't disappear.
