Gymnopilus, Inocybe, and Pluteus ID requests
    #23814582 - 11/08/16 11:14 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I've found these over the last few weeks and tentatively IDed them but would appreciate other opinions. I'm not familiar with any of these species.

I found these two massive gymnopilus and think they are Gymnopilus ventricosus but don't really understand the difference between these and spectabilis. I was at a mushroom festival a couple weeks ago and they had some spectabilis on display that looked very similar but the caps had opened to concavity and they looked more orange, maybe that was just the spores on the stipe though.

Habitat:
base of an old stump in mixed forest of conifer and hardwood next to a river

Gills:
pale yellow, attached

Stem:
huge, the bigger one was 2 inches wide and about 24 inches tall counting the lower part of the stipe it had broken off of

Cap:
about 5 inches wide, rough, yellow with some orange

Spore print color:
rusty brown on veil, I didn't collect them so no print

Bruising:
no bruising

When I found these the big one had been broken off its stem and laid back up against the tree, so it was actually about 6 inches taller than it appears on my arm.




I saw two of what it think are Inocybe calamistrata in an old growth forest I was hunting chanterelles in. The first more mature one I took pictures of then tossed. The second smaller one I found right next to some pellies that I thought might be silvatica.

I thought it was weird that two different species with blue bases were right next to each other so I took that one to ID. Now I wish I would have kept the first because the smaller one didn't yield a print.

Habitat:
In moss around conifers in old growth

Gills:
The gills are pale on the smaller one and salmon pink on the older one

Stem:
Blue-green base, light brown above, shaggy

Cap:
light brown and fibrillose af

Spore print color:
The young one I took yielded no print

Bruising:
no bruising

The first one:


The blueing doesn't seem to be from bruising, when I broke it open the flesh stayed white. I didn't hold it for very long though.



The second one:





This last one I grabbed cause I thought, "that kinda looks like one of those rare pluteus ones" but I didn't think it would be. Once I got home I kicked myself for not taking a habitat picture cause these ones suck. I keyed it out to Pluteus americanus except that these spores are not pink and the base does not bruise blue.

Habitat:
solitary on a log, either maple or alder, the trees surrounding the log were maple trees

Gills:
The gills are pale-pink, not attached to the stem

Stem:
creamy white, 2 inches long, wider at the base, darker fibrils after being picked but otherwise smooth

Cap:
2 inches across, grey, darker in the center, fuzzy, the skin was easily separable

Spore print color:
orange

Bruising:
no bruising but darker at base

Your Inocybe looks like I. calamistrata.

That close up shot of the Pluteus gills is cool.
