Candy Cap ID
    #27099590 - 12/20/20 04:04 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Habitat: Growing out of an overhanging embankment of a small stream (a meter wide, perhaps) out of dirt substrate. Growing individually, but within a few inches or feet from others. Not clustered. Stream  flows through a small deciduous forest of live oak, California bay and madrone, with blackberry bushes, ivy and poison oak in the understory.

Gills: Light pinkish-tan. Gills terminate where stem is attached to cap.

Stem: A rich, rusty brown. Brittle; snaps cleanly. Roughly .75 cm to 1.25 cm. Stems ooze liquid when snapped. Some ooze whitish residue near of broken close to caps.

Cap: Mostly concave, with one being slightly wavy at the margins. A few are also flat or slightly convex. Rough texture. Caps are the same rich brown as the stems toward the margins, darkening to a deeper reddish brown at the center. Some caps had whitish residue on top.

Spore print color: in progresses.

Bruising: none.

Location: Forestville, California.

Scent: Definitely a bit sweet.

I’ve foraged for candy caps before, but with an experienced friend. The habitat we found them in that time was more flat terrain under live oak trees. I’m pretty certain these are candy caps, or at least another lactarius spp, despite the difference in habitat, but I don’t want to accidentally ingest a galerina. I’m also

Thanks for the second opinion! I decided not to consume them anyway out of an abundance of caution, but this gives me more confidence with future finds.

Unfortunately no, I shook the caps over some oak duff and tossed them in the woods to hopefully proliferate. When they're dry they have that characteristic maple aroma, right?
