Mysterious Veil presence.
    #4984784 - 11/26/05 09:18 PM (18 years, 2 months ago)

It is just starting to get very cold in Georgia. I was out for a walk in the woods not really looking for mushrooms, but I saw out of the corner of my eye the stumpy remains of a dug up and munched mushroom. Well I started looking around under the pine carpeting and after ripping up just a few square feet of it, found this very funky mushroom. Looks like something simple,but the universal veil and remnants of partial veil throw me WAY off... I have no idea where to start on this one. I was freezing my nuts off and had no collection basket so I just took good pics, cut it in half (smelled sweet, like a sugary cucumber) and left it be to drop more spores.

A few good opinions welcome.

Growing in mostly pine with sweet gum and oak varieties here and there. Clay soil. Cap about the diameter of a large coffee mug. Cap surface (embedded with crab, but..) white and smooth, like drumskin. Flesh solid, white. Discolored little if at all after cut. Solid stem, brittle flesh, but about twice as sturdy as tough russula.





Thanks people.
Happy hunting. :regularshroom:

Might be Armillaria caligata. It has a fruity smell and the veil. It doesn't look like it has the scales on the cap that A. caligata does.

That's a Catathelasma. If you look closely at the ring you'll notice it's double. Given the apparent size, that's probably C. ventricosa.

Happy mushrooming!

Holey moley man!

How do you know such things with such apparent ease?

You must be very experienced!

::kisses feet::

About 30 years. Those particular mushrooms are fairly common where I'm from.

As far as "apparent ease", I spend time looking things up in books and on the Internet (all of which is invisible to everybody here).

Happy mushrooming!
