Red w/ Yellow Sponge Gills
    #5827473 - 07/06/06 12:15 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I have been finding a lot of this mushroom lately.

I am pretty sure it's an edible, I ID'd it in a book at a friends house, but I forget what it's called.




Habitat: Damp grass.

Gills: Gills are a yellow, sponge type.

Stem: Thick, lined and yellow.

Cap: Smooth and solid red.

Spore print color: Still waiting.

Bruising: Blackish/Navy Greenish/Blueish.

Location: Picked in Northren MD.

It's a bolete. Boletus bicolor group or Boletus campestris. Not sure how those species all shake out. The species I mentioned are listed as edible. However, there are poisonous blue-staining boletes, and while they usually have red pores, blue-staining keeps me away from eating those.

This looks exactly like what I found in my backyard in Alabama. It has an immediate blueish-green bruising. I've been looking the net over all day. What is it?

you never updated us on the spore print.

I found some recently, they were a bit smaller they were growing in grass near some trees (purple maple I think), and definitely yellow gills bruising blue/green

they leave a yellow/brown sporeprint over night.

the edible ones leave brown shaded sporeprints. the deadly ones leave a red sporeprint

Red you're dead, Brown chomp it down.

you may wish to run a spore print on EACH mushroom before digesting them as the poisonous ones CAN grow allong side the non poisonous ones!

Further Identifications:

cutting off and Soaking a portion of the cap in Amonia will change the coloring in some varieties to orange.

Campestris should have NO color change in amonia however the blue bruising should dissapear! the flesh of bicolor may turn to brown in amonia, Rubellus will change to dull orange in KOH - I have never found a poisonous one yet so I am unsure what color they turn in amonia.- Edit I have one and will be testing it as soon as I can get some amonia.

Campestris has a brighter more neon Yellow color than it's cousins who tend to be more whitish. The Cap of Campestris also tends to be more red as it's cousins tint more towards brown.

Campestris, Rubellus and Bicolor are listed as edible but with no strong flavor.

REMEMBER any wild mushroom should be cooked before consumption as MOST do contain small levels of toxins while fresh.

Suggestions for keeping; you may keep them unrefrigerated for 1 to 2 days if you will use them immediately, if you are a pro this is enough time to spore sample and test them with amonia. Otherwise Do a spore sample on ALL of them, remove the stems and place the cap gills down on a wet papertowel and seal it in a plastic bag, refrigerate. that will allow you to keep it for upto a week or so.

DO NOT eat it if it becomes slimy.

Bicolor is easily identifyable from the Distinctive White/yellow and Red stem near the base, Other varieties may have a softer transition to orange not red, or may be pure yellow or white.

Rubellus Is identified as having the tendancy to grow in groups from the same mycellium.

Campestris is typically brighter yellow and red.

The poisonous one is Boletus Flammeus, Again the spore print will be bright red surrounded by yellow but never brown. Becomes Olive green in Iron (II) sulfate.

The edible Varieties: Campestris, Rubellus, Bicolor all have a brown spore print, And no strong flavor or odor!

Flammeus has a Pungent odor and soapy taste. immediate medical help should be sought if ingested.

in my recent batch after doing a bit of reading at least 1 is boletus flammeus!

so I WILL /HAVE/ to do a spore print on all of them.

Boletus rubeus is also edible and similar to campestris.

from the size shape and color of yours I assume it to be a Campestris or Rubeus.

only a spore print and amonia test can be certain.

Yea!  Its been 3 years, wheres our print?

There are no mushrooms with red spore prints.  There are both edible and toxic mushrooms with pink spore prints.  There are both edible and poisonous boletes with brown spore prints.  Boletes with pink spore prints are edible unless they are bitter.

A few contain toxins when fresh, not most.

Thank you for clearing up those few bits of misinformation. I had found some of these growing underneath my bean plants in the garden, and was trying to figure out what they were. The first one I picked up turned blue with my fingerprints. Thanks for the help fellas!
