Help with Unknown King Oyster Type Mushroom
    #23700376 - 10/02/16 01:59 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Habitat: Northeast Ontario, in deciduous wood (oak, maple, hickory), on the ground soil with some pieces of dead wood around. Just above sea level.

Gills: None

Stem: About 80mm high, 40-45mm diameter, buff to brownish, slightly spongy but dense, thick and solid.

Cap: About 110mm diameter, tan-brown color, texture smooth and soft, leathery, slightly convex.

Spore print color: No noticeable print on white paper after 1 hour, only slight moist stain.

Bruising: Very slight gray brown bruising but I could be mistaken.

Other information: Almost no scent, faint mushroom smell, when sqeezed, water like liquid coming out, scentless.

We are at a loss in trying to identify this; it is close to a king oyster, but has no gills and isn't the same color. I went through my entire "Mushroom and Other Fungi of North America" and isn't there, and various online searches leave me with no clue. I really want to ID this one, it's so unique and doesn't seem to be something you normally find here in Kingston Ontario area.

Maybe Albatrellus cristatus.

That is quite entertaining to say.

Pretty neat ID request.

I looked it up and while it has some of the same characteristics, there were a few growing around and all single mushroom formation, not clumped together like the Albatrellus cristatus often does. The caps were all very small like on my photos, the smaller not as mature mushrooms had the same shape.

It's a real mystery I tell you!
