Troop of LWMs catches my eye while driving

#26394689 - 12/21/19 09:38 PM (4 years, 3 months ago)

I hope mushrooms don't get me in an accident - spotted this troop while driving... there must have been a hundred. Don't think I've seen them elsewhere.

Loc: South SF Bay Area, urban roadside, in wood chips beneath soil laden with berries under leafless trees of some sort.

Caps get wavy, torn, and uplifted in age.

Spore print: light brown

Tubaria furfuracea group. I also saw this unusually white capped one at the San Francisco Fungus Fair.

I'm sorry I missed the fair... I should have been on it!

Photo below is from my property... this is typical T. furfuracea, correct?

Thanks!

Lol I've caught myself looking out the window at woodchip beds when I should be focusing on the road a fair few times

Just a public service announcement -- please don't hunt and drive! It's probably worse than texting and driving. I know from experience.

I actually parked and walked the center divide of a major boulevard the other day because it was wood chipped. That way I could say, ok, at least I tried!

I am guilty of being distracted by mushrooms while driving, surprises my passengers that I can spot a mushroom at 70mph and get back to it.

So I was pulling out of a parking lot today that had wood-chipped dividers (I WAS hunting) and I spotted (while turning) a cluster of mushrooms. If these are P. allenii, the caps are 3.5 inches... can that be? The blue-green sheen is there. The spore print is clearly purple-brown (on the caps below the big caps).

Those are definitely Psilocybe allenii, they can get quite large.

Thanks! Hey, I'm curious, do you find stinkhorns in association with Cyans? My first-ever find was a patch of Cyans, and a couple of stinkhorns were within a few feet. Probably just chance. :shrug:
