Pluteus americanus
    #23727225 - 10/11/16 12:25 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hey y'all.......thought I'd show you some Pluteus americanus. Its only been a few years since I first discovered these in my area (Bluteus), and I feel like I'm more familiar with the mushroom.  They are somewhat variable in size, shape, tactility, depending on growing conditions. In the previous thread I thought this variablity meant multiple species, but I'm now under the impression that these were examples of morphological variation.

They are not uncommon around my area. They grow all mushroom season, spring to fall, directly after rains. They have a very distinct scent that gets more potent when they are very mature. I think decomposing sugar maple(Acer saccharum) is the most common substrate, but other deciduous species of trees are also involved. They will grow on the same log for a number of years.

The best habitats are  mixed forest transitions where conifers create all day shade, but deciduous logs can be found on the ground.

Here are some photos from yesterday.

Please resize your images, this is impossible to observer your collection with such massive images.

You can resize your images on an image upload site.

very nice.  you edited the pics to highlight that bruising, yeah?

i remember your bluteus thread.  good stuff and thanks for posting both this thread and that one.

i found some this summer that looked right and smelled right from what i could gather from your past thread but didn't blue at all.  had all the features but never bruised.  they were super soggy, though, so perhaps i didn't wait long enough.  i'll continue keeping an eye out but this one is on my must find list for next year.

plz remind me, what area of the US are you in?  the great lakes, right?

ETA: image size looks fine on my screen.  maybe there is a setting in your profile that takes care of images that are too large?  maybe i'm not remembering that correctly, but i think Alan posted about that previously.

With active Pluteus, you can make a collection and hold on to them for a bit, this will bring out the bruising.  I have seen Pluteus americanus take an hour to blue.

right on.  i set the collection on a log and came back by it about an hour-ish later to no sign of bruising.  it was hella waterlogged and i should've collected it to view later but had a full backpack of chants so i left it.

It's better to set your max image size in your Shroomery display preferences, this will cause images of any size to display correctly on your screen.

This is true, but also Do not attempt to bruise them blue, they will discolor to a yellow-brown.
Another strange thing about the bluing, is it appears to be iridescent. The more parallel you are to the stem, the more blue you can see. This is observable  at 2:17 - 2:30 of this movie.


Pluteus movie on youtube

The bluing is function of moisture, fully dehyrated mushrooms only have mild graying where it was once blue. Dry mushrooms are no longer blue or iridescent.

I did some minor lightroom editing white balance tweaks looking for max color contrasts, shadows, hightlights etc. As a result the photos might seem a bit too saturated. The video is definately undersaturated.
