ID Request - 7 Species - Any Actives?
    #26859734 - 08/02/20 08:51 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

I went to a deciduous forest in Upstate NY for my first official hunt (outside my yard). I had a good time and found some really interesting specimens -- at least a few with colors that surprised me. I am in the process of getting spore prints -- these are taking longer than the ones I found in my yard. I'm hoping to get some positive IDs, or at least some indications of which ones may be active so I know to wait around for spore prints.


Species #1





Habitat:
Where the parking lot meets the forest, there's a heap of mud, leaves, wood particles, and who knows what else. That's where I found these.

Gills:
Very light brown to yellowish-tan. Not pronounced "gills" like I have seen on the others, but rather a spongy, lattice-like material.

Stem:
Short and stubby; solid and roughly the same brown as the cap. If any bruising, just a darker brown.

Cap:
Somewhat concave on the larger one where the stem attaches. The cap, along with the stem, remind me of a potato in color and due to the protrusions and irregular form.

Spore print color:
In the process of getting a spore print.

Bruising:
Appears to bruise brown-to-black.


Species #2





Habitat:
Leaves and twigs.

Gills:
Interestingly, I couldn't see the gills until I removed the stem. There was a thin, cloth-like layer that came out with the stem to reveal fine, tightly-packed gills.

Stem:
Thick, white, and solid. Handling the stem caused it to splinter a little, but it's still intact.

Cap:
Round and deep around the stem. Brighter yellow around the edges and gradually darkening toward the center.

Spore print color:
In the process of getting a spore print.

Bruising:
The only bruising I detect so far is the darkening of the cap to nearly a brown, but it is still yellow around the edge.

Species #3









Habitat:
This one was growing in/on a tree trunk, impressively pushing up one of the roots! Or that's what it looked like, anyway.

Gills:
Thin, wavy, and deep. Appear to stop just short of the stem, but could be attached.

Stem:
Thick, white, and hollow in very center. Handling caused it to splinter and fall apart.

Cap:
Medium-brown at first, concave, and wavy around the outside.

Spore print color:
In the process of getting a spore print.

Bruising:
The cap has turned dark-brown-to-black in spots. No other bruising detected.

Species #4







Habitat:
This one was growing in/around a rotting log.

Gills:
Thin, wavy, and deep. Appear to stop just short of the stem, but could be attached.

Stem:
Thick, white, and hollow in very center.

Cap:
I'm a little confused about this one. Either I took a picture of a different mushroom than the one I picked (though I don't remember spotting one with such a white cap), or it photographed much lighter than it appeared and perhaps darkened over time. This one reminds me of species #3 in person, but the cap is mostly flat and curved under around the edge.

Spore print color:
In the process of getting a spore print.

Bruising:
Not much bruising detected.

Species #5







Habitat:
Rotting wood, moss, and muck.

Gills:
Very fine and neat. Tightly packed.

Stem:
Thin and orange in center, going yellow-to-white on ends. Hollow.

Cap:
Orange and flat, slightly concave in center where stem attaches. Mostly neat and round.

Spore print color:
In the process of getting a spore print.

Bruising:
Maybe some bruising to darker orange in areas.

Species #6





Habitat:
Leaves and old sticks.

Gills:
Thin and wavy.

Stem:
Thin, white, hollow, and flimsy.

Cap:
Unfortunately, I didn't get much out of this one before it started falling apart. It was brown with a lighter ring around the border. Very round.

Spore print color:
In the process of getting a spore print.

Bruising:
Cap and stem have darkened, but otherwise little detectable bruising.

Species #7





Habitat:
Leaves, twigs, and muck.

Gills:
Yellow, appears smooth; no detectable gills.

Stem:
Thick, solid, red, darkening on ends. Yellow inside.

Cap:
Red-orange, darkening to beet red.

Spore print color:
In the process of getting a spore print.

Bruising:
The cap and stem have darkened. Stem has maintained yellow areas, but red is now beet red to black.

Sorry, but none of those are active.  I would recommend doing some research regarding the different active species in your area, and a general idea of how to distinguish between them.  Always get positive ID’s before consuming any!  Welcome to the shroomery:mushroom2:

Thank you -- this community is awesome.

I had a pretty good time hunting, even though I didn't find any actives. I will do some studying before I go out next.

I've heard varying things about Upstate NY, ranging from "actives are rare" to "there are plenty." I found the 6 - 7 species here in a very short period of time, so I like my odds!
