What are these?
    #22492782 - 11/07/15 08:07 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

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.


They were growing at the base of a tree in the yard.

Gills:
Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.

Not sure

Stem:
Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.

Cap:
Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.

Orangish?

Spore print color:
Very important!

Bruising:
Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.

Other information:
Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.


Sorry guys..I don't have much information to follow the guidelines above. My fiance was at her grandmothers house and saw these outside and decided to snap some pictures. I have not seen them in person and have no idea of any details...These shouldn't be too hard to identify though. I was thinking something like hen or chicken of the woods..I'm just not sure. I've been out of the scene for a while now...Any help is appreciated. I'd like to be able to tell her what they are.

I would say those are an Omphalotus.

Hmm...its a possibility but i'm not sure if I agree..I looked up a few pictures and the Omphalotus look darker and maybe a different shape...I wish she had gotten a picture of the gills.

Considering that you aren't sure of which two easy to distinguish from one another polypores you think these obviously gilled muhsrooms are I would say that is relevant.

I don't mean to be terribly rude but you haven't a clue what you're talking about and are, after all, asking us to identify them for you.

The tone of my above reply was a bit much, and I apologize.

LOL. No worries. But you are exactly right. I know nothing about mushroom identification. The only experience I really have is from the cubensis and cyanescens i've grown...Well, other than, going out in the woods and parks and looking around. That's why I said I wasn't sure if I agreed with you, not that you were wrong. They just don't look like the pictures that came up for Omphalotus. I see the trusted identifier tag you have.

And I apologize, by gills, I don't necessarily mean gills, I just meant the bottom of the mushrooms. I don't know whether they had gills or not...I googled Omphalotus and it brought up a picture of a mushroom with gills...I'm just saying, the picture that came up didn't look like the pictures she took...I showed her and she didn't think that was them either...Doesn't mean either one of us are correct though because neither one of us have any experience in identifying them.

When I googled Omphalotus it also said something about the jack-o-lantern mushrooms. Are they in the same family or what? I'm pretty sure they didn't glow...Again, I am very inexperienced and didn't mean to insinuate that you don't know what you're talking about. You're opinion is well appreciated.

So you're pretty sure they are Omphalotus? Do you know what sub genus (not sure if genus is the right word) is?

What I meant is that the mushrooms in your picture are gilled mushrooms. The chicken and hen of the woods are not; they are polypores.

Yes, the genus Omphalotus are the jack o lanterns. The bioluminescence is not terribly impressive. The word you want is species, and as to which it would depend in part on where you are geographically.

Ah, didn't think to list that, sorry. I'm in mid-western NC.

Omphalotus illudens seems a good bet.
