Vic, Australia ID needed - Pics!
    #5693862 - 05/31/06 05:14 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

G'day guys,

I said before that I wanted to get some people together to start doing a posionous look-a-like (ie. Galerina) thread for the area of Victoria, Australia..
Unfortunately - i don't know too much about shrooms, but have read a lot lately and am learning quickly!

I've got a mushroom I need ID'd properly, although i'm pretty sure it is one of the deadly Subaeruginosa look-a-likes that have been talked about! (Found it whilst I was hunting subs!)

Mushroom X3 (my classification for unknowns)


CAP-

Size = 2-5cm
Thickness = 5mm
Shape = Convex, central nipple, rim curbes toward stem (possibly present due to young specimen?)

Texture-
Feel = Even, soft/Buoyant feel
Visual = Looks smooth
Colour - Overall Yellow-Golden colour, turning to brown.
Gills - Attached to stem, spacing 2-4mm


Stalk-

Central, slightly wavy/rigid.
5-8cm tall
VEIL not present, but a small ring is present aprox 2cm from base of cap.

Habitat- amongst bracken of mostly fern and pine.. also in open areas.


What does everybody think?
Sorry - the pics are of it a day old - so texture etc.. looks slightly different, also.. lots of maggots squirming about, so i'm throwing the thing out coz maggots gross me out!!!


Quick side question - once shrooms have been under a fan for a day, (dried), so maggots still infect them?

Don't think it's a sub.  Looks like a bit of veil action going on there?

I had some subs that did't get dried til a week after (no fan :frown:) and although they are mostly all dry now, stil have one or two that maggots keep popping out of.

It doesn't appear to be an active. Possibility would remain that it could be poisonous.

The condition that it is in is going to make it difficult for an accurate guess on genus.

Good description, unfortunately, spore printing is an important feature that can't be observed with very dry mushrooms.

Hey guys - sorry better just make this clear, people must be missing this part of the post.

I know it's not an active, not trying to ID it for active.

I'm trying to ID it as a posionous LOOK A LIKE of subaeruginosa.. to give people an ID and some pics of what the looks a likes actually look like!

This ID is specific to Melbourne Australia (although could probably be applied to elsewhere too) but I am doing this mainly for the Melbourne community.

As mentioned man, even though you gave a really good description, it's difficult to ID with absolute certainty a dried shroom.

Yeah - sorry about that - that was my fault for being slack! I'll go find some more and keep them fresh - the ID is based on a fresh one.. although some bits i missed.
