Outstanding North Georgia Specimen of Mystery!
    #5889997 - 07/23/06 09:35 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Hello, again.

Back on july second, I was hiking in the low parts of the north Georgia mountains. I found a number of fimiliar faces, a few smooth chanterelles, tree conks, happy trichaptum and corals not to mention about a million millipeds!

However, I found this SINGLE mushroom..... in all places, on a mossy conifer log. I am not sure what thype other than non-hardwood. It had not rained that day, but the mushroom was absolutely covered in little droplets. The little guy was sweatin' it out!!  :inlove:

I felt too much respect for this lonely astounding mushroom to pick it, and it was too juicy to warrant a taste-test nibble. I put my head to the log to look as far under the cap as I could and saw no gills, plus I think the oddly linear reticulation near the apex of the stem also points towards a boletus. With the lack of glandular dots and seemingly super-steroid scabers, my best guess is simply some type of rare leccinum?

I am not trying to beg for an instantaneous ID, but simply some input on this wacky individual! It was similar in height and (stem) width of a pack of playing cards. Thanks!

I love milipedes!!!  I want one!  :frown:

I'm thinking this may be a pin, or a young immature mushroom.  These are difficult to ID, especially without the proper ID info.  please see the stickys on the main hunting forum page.  The mushroom is very cool looking, but I wonder if the cap is not fully developed, and thus you cannot see the gills, rather  than the mushroom having pores.  It's really hard to say.

Really cool pics and description. I'm not sure what it is. Like cure says, it's hard to ID young'uns. Could be a gilled mushroom with a veil that is obscuring your view of the gills. It sure is cool looking with those droplets on it and all.

Anyway I don't really recognize it just by the looks.. my books are all put away right now. Perhaps with some more info I could try out some keys. :shrug:

A shot in the dark would be some sort of Pholiota...

Don't take that to the bank as In doing a visual ID vs. your photos and my Audubon Field Guide...

Without looking at the gills I can tell you what it is not:
Armillaria mellea

I'd describe the differences, but there are so many, I will just let you see.





See what I mean?  it is good you are participating though, you will learn quicker.  :smile:

theres like 12 differant honey mushroom variations right?

I still think honey mushroom is a decant guess.

Its growing straight from wood, and it appears to have fiber on the stipe and pileus.

And he said he didnt see gills, so the annulus/veil hasnt fallen yet?

Okay, this is where things get a bit messy... "Honey Mushroom" refers to specifically to the species Armillaria mellea. Yet, the casual reference to the genus Armillaria is also "Honey Mushroom". The confusion stems from the discovery that certain species within the genus Armillaria can be crossed- in accordance with the Scientific taxonomic concept of "biological species", if two organisms can produce viable offspring, they are of the same species, and may differ only somewhat in sub-species. So essentially there is controversy among mycologists exactly how many distinct species of Armillaria there are. So, I guess to make things easy, some douche decided to lump all Armillaria species under the unofficial title "Honey Mushroom"....

I hope that was coherent, i have been toking up.. Uhh, so I thought when you said "Honey Mushroom" you were referring to the specific species Armillaria melea, I now suspect you meant a species within the genus Armillaria.

Yes, the annulus/veil has probably not broken on the mushroom pictured... One feature of the genus Armillaria is white gills.

" I now suspect you meant a species within the genus Armillaria."

Correct :smile:.

It does suck that they lumped them like that, only one that acually trys to id them is Tom volk.

When i met him at the IMMC it was funny cause i found a honey mushroom and he told me the Sp. i was pretty impressed.

Thanks you guys, I will not persue identification further since at this point we will never know for sure.

May you all find a mushroom friend in the near future, I will remember this one for a while to come!  :smile:
