ID for this giant mushroom
    #23437427 - 07/13/16 09:26 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Habitat:
Where does it grow? mixed hardwood and hemlock woods

What does it grow on? Tree stump. I believe it was hemlock but the stump was pretty far gone to be sure

Gills: Creamy colored, attached

Stem: Short, thick and velvety brown

Cap: 6 1/2" creamy yellow to brown, slightly shaggy toward center

Spore print color: N/A yet

Bruising: Gills bruise brown

It smells good. Kind of hard to describe. A little sweet and smokey.

Any help with the ID would be appreciated. I've been foraging mushrooms for years and this is the first time coming across this one. At first I was thinking Tricholoma species but I haven't been able to nail it down.
Thanks!

Interesting. A gilled boletalus. That explains why I was having trouble tracking it down. Too bad it isn't edible.

Looks like it was re-classified in 1992 after being found to be saprobic.

TYVM!

The Audobon's field guide (What I have been using)is wayyy outdated...The only way one can keep up with these changes is VIA the internet IME.:shrug:

I like mushroom observer as well. Have you checked out the "Morphing Mushroom Identifier" at MycoKeys? Sometimes it seems like it can be too specific with the color choices but I've found it pretty useful. I don't know if it's bad form to post the link but a search will find it easily.

I'm familiar with many of the edible species in my area. Especially the ones with few look-alikes, but sometimes I come on something that stumps me.

Just got back from a quick forage with these beauties :smile: It's the first flush of them with many pins just visible. Found a good amount of lobster shrooms yesterday.
