Pluteus questions and ID

#26077626 - 06/27/19 03:55 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

These guys seems to be growing everywhere right now! (Northeast US)

I read through the official bluing pluteus thread and a couple others here. Still have a number of questions...

It sounds pretty darn near impossible to get these down to species, so I'm okay with not knowing a name. I am certainly interested in the alkaloids :wink:

Questions
- as far as dose goes... anyone with experience? Sounds pretty weak. One post mentioned 8-15 dried grams
- I've found a bunch not pictured that are very close to #1 and #2 below. Seem like a good match for americanus/salicinus, except no blue bruising... any reason I shouldn't try them out and see?

Collections
So I have three collections, ordered most interesting to least interesting.

Notes on all of them:
- growing on dead hardwood
- brownish, rusty, slightly pink spores
- free, crowded, frequently short gills, white when young, pinkish brown when older
- very slightly tapered stem, with lines slightly spiraling length wise
- caps ranging from dark grey to tan to silver, often with radial lines near the margin, and usually darkest in center

So I feel pretty confident that these are Pluteus Sp.

Collection 1
Very small lone mushroom (3cm cap). Much darker cap. Slightly blue stem. Seems like it should be good to try if I could find some more?

Collection 2
These were all growing on a dead maple. Bigger than #1 (caps are 4-7cm). Most of them well aged. No bruising observed.

Collection 3
Significantly bigger than all other specimens. Cap is 7.5 cm, stem is much thicker than others (1cm). Sounds like P. cervinus is generally bigger than americanus/salicinus? Anything else to look for?
