Thanks muncher! Good to know, I’ve experience key it out to what you want it to be syndrome before so it’s good to have the confirmation. Have you ever eaten them, says some have bad reactions.

no they make me a little nervous and usually see them in busy parks. its a species complex there are several varieties going by that name. those look like textbook specimens though. hopefully a ti can confirm before they turn

spore print them - from what I understand C. molybdites from rachodes can be hard to differentiate for sure just by appearance, as both are pretty variable, but the spore print being green makes them for sure poisonous... that you have an older specimen that doesn't have greenish looking gills would seem to be a good sign.
As far as eating them.... never tried it. I've heard them described as tasting like regular buttons..... not special sounding enough to make me want to take even a slight risk, as the reaction to molybdites have been described as not actually killing you, but making you wish you were dead

I always take those warnings with a bit of a grain of salt.... the truth is that mushrooms in general contain a lot of undigestible material and any kind, even the ones you get at the grocery store can give you stomach cramps and gas... especially if you eat a lot, especially uncooked (wild mushrooms in general should be cooked anyway - as they may harbor bacteria that can make you ill..) I've heard the same warnings about Matsi and morels. I've always figured that if you've eaten wild mushrooms before and not been sensitive, you're probably OK - just don't over do it and don't eat anything that isn't in good condition. More people probably get 'poisoned' from eating less than fresh edible wild mushrooms than by accidentally eating a non-edible one....

I hear that. My uncle used to eat gyromitra a lot, then one spring he got sick and now can’t stand the thought of eating morel even. Well, I’ve got four sources confirming, I’ll try some. Thanks guys.

molybdites smells phenolic like to me, I don't think rhachodes smells the same, but spore print will definitely separate the two.

 Fried up a few last night! Pretty good, no allergic reaction, put bulbs in my compost, leaf piles, and I’ll try and get some tissue on agar to get this thing growing more around the property. Glad to have another species under my belt! Thanks for posting Doc!
