Mushroom hunting in ontario
    #4851197 -

Today I was walking in a forest near my house and came across the following mushrooms, any ideas what tehy are?

Species the first:
* Habitat; found in thick pine needles, on the floor of the forest.
* Characteristics of the gills;light brown/white, not attached
* Characteristics of the stem; approximately one inch tall, very narrrow, possibly hollow though its hard to tell, dark brown.
* Characteristics of the cap;1/4-3/4 inch, convex. Young specimens are light brown with an undefined nipple, while older ones seem to darken slightly while the nipple turns much darker brown.
* Spore print; pending
* Color that the mushroom bruises;difficult to tell because of its small size
* Scent of the mushroom;don't notice any

note-no decent pictures have been acquired yet.
Species the second:

* Habitat;Found on a pile of bark (dumped by someone) surrounded by mostly pine trees
* Characteristics of the gills;light brown/orange. attached.
* Characteristics of the stem; dark brown, even red. 1-2 inches tall, 1/4iinch thick, hollow.
* Characteristics of the cap;Orange in the middle, fading to light brown at the edges. Young specimens are convex while older ones are concave.
* Spore print; pending
* Color that the mushroom bruises;not at all?
* Scent of the mushroom;strong,almost fruity



Species the third:

* Habitat;found in pine needles, similar to first mushroom
* Characteristics of the gills;light brown attached
* Characteristics of the stem;4 inch, about 1 inch thick.
* Characteristics of the cap;6-8inches, dark brown in middle, light brown at edges
* Spore print; pending
* Color that the mushroom bruises;no clue
* Scent of the mushroom;no clue

The first one is an LBM (little brown mushroom), extremely hard to identify without a good picture and a spore print.
The second and third could be a number of things. Could you specify please whether the "gills" wee actually gills or pores, because the third specimen looks like a bolete, and the second pic appears to have multiple species in it, possibly some polypores.

The first and second one most definitely have gills, while you are right, the third does not. I am less concerned about the third, and dont expect to be able to eat any of these. The first ones are so tiny that because i work during the day, it was too dark and impossible to get a picture when i last visited them, i will try on the weekend. My hopes that they are psychoactive aren't very high due to the fact that im near Barrie, Ontario and they were found in a planted pine forest. There are parts of the forest that the pine have been removed from to allow for hardwood growth, does this give ideal conditions for anything interesting?

I think (not sure) that the spore print on the first mushroom is white, while the second is somewhat chestnut brown, but i will be retrying these on non-white paper.

Ok, the third mushroom is a bolete and is actually the most likely to be edible.
If the spore print is indeed white on the first one, then it is probably a species of mycena, inactive, or something similar.
the white print means for sure that it is not psychoactive.
