Pluteus Cervinus (Deer Mushroom)
    #5900327 - 07/25/06 11:23 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I strolled around my parents backyard today, and found some small grey/beige mushrooms growing from some woodchips on a dirt slope under our "paper trees". I'm not getting any prints from these guys unfortunately, no white spores, nada. But I Believe they are Pluteus cervinus, the Deer Mushroom. Just thought I'd share... They are pretty tiny, and the slugs found them before I did.

On a similar note, I have found quite a foray of different species of mushrooms growing from the same location under these trees in the woodchips. Does anyone else notice the same phenomenon of different mushrooms colonizing a specific area throughout the year?

Mushrooms have seasons just like flowers and fruit. Each area is usually colonized by several species at a time. As each mushroom's season happens you get fruiting of the various kinds.

Also, on rotting wood there is a succession of species as various nutrients are used up by each species.

Happy mushrooming!

Well going on the pics alone, they don't really look like a Pluteus to me. :shrug:
Hard to be totally sure.

They don't look much like pluteus cervinus to me either. P. cervinus has a removable skin on the cap, and it smells like raw potatoes or some folks say radishes.

Some mushrooms that will not drop spores inside will give up a print if you leave them outside overnight inside a paper bag. 

You fingernails scare me curecat.  :runaway:  :smile:

Yes, I suppose they are not the Deer Mushroom after all. These mushrooms smelled very very mushroomy and good, and had no pellicle. Perhaps some sort of Entoloma?

Good advice on the spore prints, i'll have to try that out sometime!
