Big Laughing Jims? - Maine - ID Request
    #23547148 - 08/16/16 02:59 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

We found these today in downeast Coastal Maine, it's been hot and dry but a little spate of rain lately. Elevation around 300 feet, in a black spruce forest, with all of these growing in singles (not clusters) by the side of a footpath in beds of moss. All about five to six inches high. (What's interesting to me, not knowing much about mushrooms, is that a side view shows gills, but there's a spongy covering over the bottom of the cap.) Not much of a smell. The gills blue up rapidly and easily when touched. Could they be? Any special things I should look for?





PS, I have never done a spore print but I am trying to get one now. I'm not sure how long it takes. Will research.

Nope, those are Boletes. Gymnopilus are gilled mushrooms.

Ah, thanks so much. Back to the drawing board in "mental picture of a Big Jim which I have probably never seen." Bummer, totally. King Bolete? Edible, like these?
