Newbie Request for Identification
    #5898036 - 07/25/06 12:19 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys, I'm kinda new to hunting, want to do it the right way. I got some pictures of some crazy looking shrooms hiking the other day, and wanted to see if any of them were worth harvesting and getting spores/growing more. I apologize if this is too many at once.


This is the one I was trying to identify the hardest. Here's what info i can come up with on it.




* Habitat - This was in a heavily wooded area, mountainous, on embankments that were very wet to semi dry.
* Characteristics of the gills - attached, pure white.
* Characteristics of the stem - 3 to 6 inches, white.
* Characteristics of the cap- convex, round, mostly white with browning in the center.

* Spore print color - ??? Harvested a Cap of one of the smaller ones (same kind) and didnt' get a single spore, it's been sitting on sterile paper/inverted glass over it for 36 hours now.




These were in the same area.














Thanks for any help, I've been trying to ID them myself, but thats proven to be hard.

Hey, welcome to the shroomery. Great pictures. Indeed IDing is very hard, but it's amazing how you just get better and better at it if you stick with it. Your description for the first mushroom is well done, do it for the rest if you want a shot at a positive ID on any of them. Also take multiple pics so we can see the gills and check the base of the mushroom as its shape can be telling.
But I'll give it a shot based on your nice photos. Oh, and as far as spore prints, make sure you use black paper and white paper on ones that you don't have an idea of what the spore color will look like. I think your first pic is of a white spored species. I'm not sure what it is because you say the gills are attached.

# 3 is a Russula of some sort, incredibly difficult to ID to species, and possibly poisonous.
# 6 is a bolete. Possibly edible, possibly poisonous. Should have a spongy, porous underside rather than gills.

Welcome and good luck, it's a fun hobby.

#1 looks to be Amanita and likely has a white spore print. If you tried to get the print on white paper that is most likely your problem.
#2 Some sort of Hygrocybe
#7 Another Amanita

I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur I see a big light blur.
