Hi GrillaJW, welcome to the shroomery.
Can't tell much by the pics and description you gave, but from what I can tell it is consistent, I would say you're on the right track.

If that's one of the deadly Galerina species, then it's a bit different from the specimens I normally find. For one thing, the stem is a bit too thick and fleshy looking. From you photo I'd probably start my guesses at something in the family Tricholomataceae. A spore print would be a good start for IDing.

Anytime you find a mushroom you want to identify, pick it (hopefully several of them) and bring them home with you. That way you can check for things you didn't think to check while you were in the field.

BTW, you cannot be poisoned by touching or handling a poisonous mushroom. I have handled more deadly Galerinas than I care to count without even a slight symptom of poisoning. Of course, it's a good idea to wash your hands before you do anything that might bring them near your mouth.

My most recent post included a photo of Galerina marginata (the second photo). Note the texture and surface of the stem, an important feature for this species.


Having said all that, it is far better to be overcautious than under. You are avoiding poisoning well, and a bit of paranoia about it is probably the best defense you could have.

Happy mushrooming!

you can take a nice bite of a mushroom and spit it out... just to taste it... I do it all the time now, cause my field guide has taste as a characteristic... even for the deadly poisonous ones.... just don't swallow...

I avoid tasting any mushroom I suspect is a deadly species. Although tasting only one tiny piece and spitting it out is extremely unlikely to cause any problems, I just don't want to push it.

There is a case on record where a guy tasted a bunch of the peppery Russulas in an afternoon and ended up getting poisoned.

Happy mushrooming!

I have been reading mushrooms demystified over and over again trying to get a feel to the keys and to learn the vocabulary... and he keeps mentioning that some of the most deadly, are the most inviting and best tasting...

not that that really matters much, since they are deadly....

Some of those deadly tasty mushroom reports come from people who ate A. phalloides mistaking them for the paddy straw mushroom (a volvariella i think). They claim that the mushroom tasted great, even better than paddy straw. Then their livers go bye bye. This is after they are cooked. Usually the field guide taste characteristics are tastes like peppery, spicy, fishy, sweet, mealy - I have yet to find a description that says tasty!

I did learn a lesson today... i was randomly tasting mushrooms in the field and one burned my mouth pretty good... it looked so delicious too! 20 minutes of burning pain though...

would have been good as a spice...

These days I only bother tasting a mushroom when the taste would specifically allow me to identify a certain species. An example is between Sarcodon imbricatum and S. scabrosum - the latter species is intensely bitter, the other mild in flavor.

Happy mushrooming!
