Central Florida ID Request.

If anyone could help me identify these mushrooms that would be very helpful. Unfortunately I don't have images of what they were growing on, but I will make sure to take pictures before picking in the future.
Habitat: Springs surrounded by oak forests in central florida.
Gills: Yellow, attached, gills.
Stem: Solid meaty stem, whitish before picking but immediately bruised reddish brown.
Cap: About the size of a quarter. Brown.
Spore print color: Working on spore print.
Bruising: The stem bruised reddish brown but once I cut the cap off it bruised slightly green.
Other information: Was found growing at the base of a live oak tree.
http:// http:// Habitat: Both mushrooms were found in the same place.
Gills: Rusty brown, not attached.
Stem: Short and hollow.
Cap: yellow, covered in red bumps
Spore print: No pic of the spore print unfortuantely but it was rusty brown, it's color matched the gills almost exactly.
Bruising: No noticable color change.
Other information: This mushroom was found growing from the ground so I assume it was probably growing on some buried wood. http:// http://

Looks like the gilled bolete, Phylloporus rhodoxanthus. Hard to tell but the second mushroom looks different, it could be a Gymnopilus species but I'm not sure.

Went looking again today and came across these mushrooms which I believe are another gymnopilus species. Although it may be hard to tell there is actually some slight green bruising on the cap.



 Blue pins, it may be hard to see because of the low quality.

Also was wondering what this one might be.

My first instinct was that the colour and habit point to maybe one of the yellow Tricholoma or Tricholomopsis species. Spore prints supporting Gymnopilus would rule that out.

Thanks for the input. The spore print is rusty brown. What type of spore print would indicate that they are tricholoma or tricholomopsis?

White. Those spores do look like Gymnopilus.

Thanks for the help, do you have any idea of what species of gymnopilus it might be? Also does the green/blue brusing indicate that these are active?

No, someone else might be able to narrow it down but don't hold your breath.

Where is the bruising?
And the last mushroom you posted looks like a Pluteus sp..

I will try to get better quality pics of the blueing pins. I uploaded a low quality image of the blue pins but they are hard to make out, also there was slight but definite green bruising on the caps of the bigger ones, which again is hard to see. I actually was able to go back to the same spot and find some more but these have not yet displayed any signs of green or blue bruising.


Also ran into a pygmy rattlesnake not far from where I was picking these.

Nice snake. Small-medium Gymnopilus spp. are quite confusing for me but I don't much encounter them here. The last ones look like Gymnopilus penetrans but I'm not really TIing these. Good luck anyway, and hopefully someone can assist here!

Thanks, I hope these do turn out to be active because there seems to be alot growing at this location. I also have access to a much better camera now so here are the updated pics of the bruising pins. It still doesn't look as blue as in person though.


Highlighted green bruising on the cap. It still doesn't look green but I assure it was unmistakeable, it would probably show up better with the new camera but they are totally dry now and you can't tell anymore.
