Couple pictures - pesticides

I thought these wood chips looked like a pretty good possible patch but then saw the sign. Wouldnt want to eat any mushrooms covered in pesticides.  No actives or any mushrooms on any of the pesticide applied chips.  I think I remember someone posting they saw green spray thinking it might be fungicide, you cant really tell from the picture but the spray on these was green as well.  I guess it could be  fungicide but it says pests which makes me think insects but maybe they think mushroom pickers are pests  :thumbdown:




Heres a quick shot I took of some mushrooms I stumbled accross after smoking a bowl down by the water

Nice of them to at least post that they sprayed a poison on the area. Mushrooms often concentrate environmental toxins, so normally edible species can cause severe poisonings in these cases. Golf courses are notorious for spraying things you don't want to eat, so mushrooms from them should not be eaten.

The mushrooms in the second photo are Lepiotas, but the species would require more information.

Happy mushrooming!

Grave yards are also commonly sprayed with various pesticides.

Those lepiotas are almost certainly Lepiota rachodes. They look like rachodes, there located in western WA, and rachodes is popping up all over the place now.

Lepitoa rachodes would have a white spore print.

I second that, where I have been looking for cyans, I would see these EVERYWHERE.

Not many, I have a pest control license and i can tell you that you could be fined if it wasnt posted with a sign that the application of pesticides had been done. Ive heard of companies being sued for not properly labeling pesticide spray on areas where it made kids sick. Almost every commercially owned area like that will have a sign and if it doesnt and was sprayed its because someone isnt doing there job.

Anyone ever picked on a racecouse (I haven't)? Do they spray those ?

In particular in the Pacific Northwest, if you think you're picking Chlorophyllum rachodes (=Lepiota rachodes), you need to check the bruising. There is a poisonous lookalike mushroom, Lepiota brunnea, that turns immediately brown when the stem is cut. C. rachodes will turn orange or reddish first, then often become brown.


That's one of the reasons I didn't jump out there and guess which species those are.


Happy mushrooming!
