Abundant Chlorophyllum rhacodes? Bonus mystery fungus.
    #23740148 - 10/15/16 02:57 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Shaggy parasol find? Several patches in close proximity. Found in MT.
I found a shaggy parasol last fall about 500 feet from this location, only one though.

Found growing in a grassy pine duff covered area near a line of windbreak pine trees.
Stipe has a bulbous base. Mature shrooms are 5" tall x 5" wide.
White and brown cap with attached scales as pictured.

Awaiting a print right now, the gills do not appear to be green/yellow as with molybdites.

Specimens are fairly dry despite recent heavy rainfall:


Cap is white inside and bruises reddish,
stipe is light to dark brown inside and doesn't bruise:

EDIT: stipe does bruise on the interior near the cap end.

Spores are 12x7 microns on average:


Mystery fungi found nearby, growing straight out of the ground:



I'm really excited about these because last time I found one and tried to clone it my agar skills weren't up to par.
Hopefully if these are shaggy parasols I can get a few clones going.

I picked a younger specimen, it stains red heavily when the bulbous base is cut with dull scissors (instead of a very sharp scalpel as in the previous tests):


Edit: spore print turned out very faint white/brown.

It's one of the edible species of Chlorophyllum. Something close to C. rhacodes.

Sweet! I just got a bunch of stem clones started from the smaller one I picked.

I want to start a huge outdoor patch of these because the bugs don't bother them.

They're often quite slug-eaten when I find them. :frown:

Usually it's the maggots that get to the mushrooms here first. They decimate all the Agaricus and Boletus I find :frown:

Any thoughts on the mystery fungus I posted?

The bonus mystery fungus is a Thelphora sp.

I want to update this with a couple of cool things before I let the thread die :hehehe:

First, I found the dried specimen of the same species I collected two years ago nearly 600 feet away from the current patch.
It was found growing alone in a cow pasture.
Left is the old specimen, right is the new one found this year:


Second, my current clone attempts are going very well! I have healthy growth on three plates:

Once again I appreciate the ID help!
