Is this a galerina (deadly species!) ?
    #4904496 - 11/07/05 01:41 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)



Found in same habitat as P. baeosystis (sp?)

light decaying wet woodchips, with small ground foliage growing near, and rocks/mud.

No spore print.

cap: 1cm to 4cm across / Red/orange, with light orange/peach colored gills, unatached.

Stem: orange and dark at the bottom with silver, grey and black at base. I don't know if it is hollow.

I didn't wanna touch it at all, in case it was Galerina autumnalus or marginata. Do they look like this.?

They could be G. marginata (=G. autumnalis - they're actually the same species, and G. marginata has precedence). A photo of the underside of the cap would be useful. Those appear to be in wet conditions, so the caps should be fairly slimy or sticky. They should produce rusty brown spore prints, and there should be an annulus on the stem, although I've found specimens without any hint of an annulus.

The species is variable enough that there were 5 species described in the literature that have been merged into one name using DNA data.

The toxins cannot be absorbed through the skin - I handled over a hundred specimens this last summer without any problems. More than half of those specimens I found in one afternoon.

Happy mushrooming!.

But they can stick to it (the skin), or is that incorrect?

Potentially some tiny amounts of toxins could stick to your skin. You should, of course, wash your hands before eating anything after handling any wild mushrooms, or anything, for that matter, from the woods or a garden or whatever.

It is worth noting that the deadly amatoxins occur in several perfectly edible species of mushrooms, just in quantities so low that they have no effects. For example, Boletus edulis and Chanterelles contains tiny quantities of amatoxins. The quantities are so low that it takes methods like radio immunoassay to detect the amatoxins.

Happy mushrooming!

Good info. Yeah, I'll wash my hands (once a week), even if I don't touch any, but yeah.

Thanks!
