Royal-orange + whiteish, nice aroma
    #26997862 - 10/22/20 12:22 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

All,

Yesterday I spotted a beautiful light shade orange colored mushroom in my local neighborhood in the PNW, it's growing (cluster like formations, many groups close to one another, all the same appearance but different stages of growth) on what appears to be mulch and fertilized soil, the scent resembles of fresh Oyster mushrooms. I am wondering if it's edible (seems appetizing) or dangerous (very likely perhaps). So far I haven't found anything conclusory online (I will keep searching). I took spore prints before discarding the samples.

The gills are mostly white with a shade of light brown-orange (Am I correct?). I am unsure what exactly color the cap is, I would say royal-orange or pale-orange-like. Any suggestions on the color description is welcome, I'm struggling. The stem is a dark tone of brown-red I believe, hollow and somewhat flexible. Please, can anyone describe what type of cap and gills are they? I find it difficult differentiating  the nuances of most gills and am looking forward on learning more.


The spore print came out white (almost unnoticeable at first. When bruised the mushroom maintain it's normal coloration).

I apologize in advance if I am being inconvenient with my questioning.

Safe travels,
Ed






Edit: I want to reiterate the spores are white, although it seems otherwise on the other pictures above, perhaps it's the effect of the camera flash.

Would need a real good close-up picture on the gills but from where I sit they seem to be emarginate (roughly the same height then becoming shallower close to the stipe) or sinuate (same as emarginate but curve back down before reaching the stipe), unequal (shorter gills coming up 3/4th of the way from the stipe instead of a single gills going from stipe to margin), cap is convex to campanulate(bell-shaped)-convex becoming flat with age with uplifted margins.

They don't look like Armillaria tabescens (ringless honey mushroom) to me, which would be edible.

My best guess would be Gymnopus sp.

Thank you for the description, it clarified lots.

Is it potentially Gymnopus dryophilus? Or Gymnopus erythropus (redish steam)? Another question? Is it safe to eat? (I already discarded the samples tho).

I'd Say Gymnopus Sp Or Hypholoma Sp

They're certainly a Gymnopus Sp. Not sure on the particular species though, I wouldn't risk eating them without being sure on the exact one.

Nah they don't have white spores.

For Some Reason I Didn't Even Recognize The Pic Of The Prints, Just Went Off The Habitat Shots, My Fault

I have more pictures below. If confirmed edible I would like to be looking at how potentially re-spawn it in my backyard.

Could be Marasmius oreades.

Marasmius Oreades Grows In Circular Formations Called "Fairy Rings" Most Of The Time. I'm Not Sure You Would Find Them Growing In Clusters Like These Are.

After Seeing The Shots Of The Stem I'd Agree With Gymnopus Sp

Also the general habitat is quite different.
