Big light tan lopsided mushroom
    #23822688 - 11/11/16 11:18 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)



There's a big park here in Bellingham that's great for disc golf, and, happens to have a variety of mushrooms. I found this one and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what it is. It's a lopsided mushroom, but I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be or if it just grew that way.

Habitat:

Found in a forested park

Gills:

Attached, white-ish

Stem:

Short, oblong, 3/4" wide

Cap:

Spongy, offset, not heavy, soft, dry

Bruising:

None

Other information:

The mushroom has a mild scent, but I can't place it. It's not bad, almost like... the hint of a clean wet dog.

It's fairly light in weight, not floppy, not slimy at all, pretty dry.

Quick question about the forum, is there any way to get an email when someone replies to a message, or something along those lines?

Was it growing alone or in a cluster?

Last week I found what appears to be the same type as you have here, matches the description well including the pleasant aroma.  I wasn't able to make a definite id but believe it to be a Russula.

FYI I'm not a TI and this is just an amateur guess but the way the gills are fractured is very typical of the genus.
