Need help identifying!
    #23864154 - 11/24/16 05:25 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Habitat:
Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.

Found these guys in a field, growing in the grass. Eastern Washington state. Near Tri-cities.

Gills:
Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.

White spores. White girls.

Stem:
Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.

Very solid, rubbery flesh, thick.

Cap:
Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.

3"-8" wavy caps. Stem is a bit off center.

Spore print color:
Very important!

White.

Bruising:
Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.

No bruising noticed. Maybe slightly tan bruising.

Other information:
Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

The large ones are quite meaty.

I was thinking Russula, but my friend insists it's not.

I think it's Russula Brevipes. We threw it against a wall and it broke into a bunch of like 1cm3 pieces...

Yeah I'm confused by this breaking into pieces talk.. is that really the deciding factor wouldn't we focus more on other traits ??

I can't see myself smashing a mushroom all up and being confident that it was what I thought it was due to how it was obliterated lmao

Just having fun guys no offense

Speaking of ridiculous rules - Russula identification used to include pealing the pellicle and recording how far up the cap it went.  Even as a noob I knew that just sounded like a retarded and fallible exercise.  "OOH, 1/16th of it came off, it must be X species!"  wut?

The thing about Russula is that they are all assholes.  They are everywhere, useless, and impossible to separate macroscopically!  The first genus my kids learned while hiking with me...Oh look, a Russula, KICK IT!"

Wait, I never said that???

I get it tho, but those weren't my words lol. River dweller said that

I wouldn't teach my kids to be destructive towards any living organism. I'm sure they r quite usefully and valuable in some way shape or form maybe still unknown to us. They warrant more research apparently :smile:

yeah, I wouldn't either.  I also have 3 young adult male children who have hiked enough to know when a fruit body has done it's function  :smile:

We don't really engage in useless emotional rules in the forest.

So, are we in agreement that it is some sort of Russula? My friend insists it is not, but I think that it is. He says he has found Russula before and the caps were more brittle or something like that. He said they feel very different.


Anyway, the spores are a very light color... Whitish. The stems didn't break clean,  like it was cut. When broken they had jagged edges. It did make a loud snap type sound though. My friend said if you squeeze the stem of a Russula, it will hold firm, and then suddenly collapse.

By the way, Russula are edible, and they eat them in soups in Europe, apparently.

Indeed, some are.  Russula is an enormous genus and not many people take time to document a mushroom that tastes like licking the battery posts in your car.  A large number of them are unpalatable because they are so hot or have such a bite. 

In all my years of foraging, I have never picked them on purpose or out of desperation, lol.

I agree with your friend. Re: my comment on the split stem base.
