PANW Identifying Fun
    #27004717 - 10/26/20 02:07 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hi everybody.  I live in the Pacific Northwest and I tried looking for psycho active mushrooms for the first time.  I didn't find anything like any described, but mushroom hunting is just so much fun, it's my new favorite hobby.  I thought I would attempt to ID and ask about my finds here.

For starters:

No 1. A hydnellum complicatum?

PANW light forest, mid october
very dark brown, gray green gills
very large size
growing in leaf litter dirt
no other mush nearby
very mild slope
coral like gill
short stem
white spores
oozing gills

Looks like a Phaeolus.

Cool a "dyer's mazegill".  I had no idea mushrooms could be used to make dyes.  Maze gill is certainly an appropriate name.  I guess that tree it's growing under is in trouble.

Next up:

No 2. A crepidotus appleanatus?
PANW thick forest, mid october
light caramel to white
medium size
growing on dead branch, forest floor
no other mush nearby
no slope
stereotypical gills
no stem
light brown spores
looks like a shelf fungus with gills

Crepidotus applanatus sounds reasonable for that, but microscopy could indicate it's something else.

This is the best Crepidotus reference:  https://quod.lib.umich.edu/f/fung1tc/AGK0799.0001.001?view=toc

Thanks, I'll look through that.  And keep it for later.

My next find was a surprising one.  I thought vividly purple mushrooms were the thing of cartoons but I found some.  Are these Collybia iocephala?  All the other descriptions say they should have brown spore prints, not white ones.

Pacific northwest forest, late october
pale purple color
small cap
growing in leaf litter dirt
many of its own kind nearby
no slope
large purple gills

Purple and they are edible.  It's an Alice in Wondrerland mushroom.  They need a cute common name like Amethyst Cap or something.


For my next number, some kind of waxy cap?  These mushrooms look like cute little fresh baked bread.  But do they have some sort of horrible infection?  Black tendrils were growing out of some.  Others had curled up or turned totally black.

Gymnopus sp.
The infection could be hypomyces or mold

So a Gymnopus dryophilus?  Other pictures on the internet show the same turning up at cap edges.  How hilarious they refer to it's edibility as "don't bother".


These next mushrooms I found are tiny.  I noticed the first one growing out of a pine cone.  The next one was growing out of dirt, and I suspect they are the same because of the stem coloration. Many of the pine cones in the are also sported them.  I can only guess they're some kind of mycenoid.

Maybe baeospora myosura?

That looks right.  Wow, most pictures on the internet show a lot more growing out of a single pine cone.


This mushroom I thought at first was a psilocybe.  But with black spores I don't know what to make of it.

PANW lawn, mid october
light brown with white edge
medium size
growing in grass
growing with unidentified mush and some of its own kind nearby
pronounced slope
chocolate brown gills
black annulous on stem

I have seen those literally everywhere. I actually don't know which ones they are. They're cool, very resilient to cold it seems, I find a bunch of them are still hardy outside after a few days of very cold temps, they just get shriveled up.

I doubt they are edible, though. I just assume everything is a galerina if I am hunting for psilocybe cyanescens haha

I do enjoy your enthusiasm for looking at different mushrooms though. I love identifying them as well, and even if not, just looking at them. I don't know why they're so fascinating--probably because they appear and disappear in such a short amount of time due to needing a lot of moisture. When I get a better camera I will be documenting more of them myself in such a fashion

I really hope the cyan season isn't going to get cocked up here. In the PNW as well and it's just been cold, no rain, followed by more cold and no rain. I worry about the groovies they might not keep fruiting. I'm going to keep checking though! xD

I found other mushrooms near these that look like them, only with a brown spore print.  I was going to post them next.  I'm assuming galerina. 

I really have found mushroom hunting to be great fun so far.  There's fungus of some kind in every nook and cranny, and with so much diversity.

We could use more rain.  I'm worried about all the fires that a lack of rain could lead to next summer.  I see the road crews along the highway clearing brush bu ti don't know if it will be enough.

I think I found it.  Lacrymaria lacrymabunda, a weeping widow.  I had to specifically reference the black annulus to find this information.

Good god almighty, I think I found cyanescens.  I went out hunting in a new place today and the first damn thing I found were these little guys.  blue black bruising and purple spores, did I hit the jackpot?

PANW mulch bed, early november

These I found growing next to the Weeping Widow.  In the grass the two look nearly the same.  This one's gill is orange, however, unlike the dark reddish black of the Widow's gill.  Is this the deadly galerina?

I'd Say Conocybe Sp Or Galerina Sp, Most Likely Toxic

I can't tell which though.  They look like the Bell galerinas.  But some of the conocybes match too, with those stripes and that oblong edge.  Such as conocybe tenera.
