ID Request Melbourne subs w/ reddish spots?
    #23379294 - 06/25/16 01:06 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Habitat:
Amongst damp tanbark in a reserve in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

Gills:
Tan/light brown.

Stem:
White, thin (young) to thick (mature).

Cap:
Caramel brown. Convex-umbonate.

Spore print color:
Purple-dark brown/black.

Bruising:
Slight blue brusing on some, questionable/not as obvious on others.

First major haul for the year and I'm 99% sure these as subs, but wouldn't mind confirmation. However I'm mainly posting this as a few of them had reddish-brown spots on them, which have become more obvious during the drying process and now a lot of them are showing these spots. Are these possibly signs of bacteria/contamination or is it nothing? Also blue bruising isn't super obvious on some and there may have been a couple of maggots among them, are these issues? Thanks!

And sorry about the quality of the photos. It was night time and I didn't take many at first as I was sure about the ID, but then the red spots had me concerned.

The spots could be spores dropped from some of the others. Your first pic shows a cap under other caps.

Ah that makes sense as the ones that were covered by other caps had red/black patches.

What about the maggots - could they be a health concern or would the drying process kill them all off and rid the mushrooms of anything nasty?

Pick the maggots you can see off, and make a tea with the shrooms rather than eating them dry. Should kill off nasties.

It's a bit gross but from drying in the past I've found dead maggots/insects on the paper i dry on lol, I'm guessing they crawl out when the water runs out.

Maggots will bug off when the mushrooms dry.
