Cyans/Azurs and Liberty Caps?

#7543546 - 10/21/07 04:49 PM (18 years, 10 months ago)

Well we went picking again today.

We went back to check on our other sprouting Amanita Muscaria. They're popping back up.

Possible Liberty Caps

Checking the area further we entered a wood chipped area (Conifer wood chips) Along the sides of this area where the wood chips appeared much older, and darker, we found two small clusters of blue/black (dark brown originally I guess) white stemmed mushrooms. They stand about 1 1/2 inch( and smaller), to to about 2 inches. The caps are liberty cap/deer cap like. The stems, however, are a lot tougher then any other deer cap or stripped cap in the area. Plus they are white, and have dark black/blue bruising on them. We have started spore printings. These ones appear to be dark blue/purple (Still unsure on which with our crappy yellowish lights)

Summary:

Cap: 1/3 inch in diameter, about 1/3 inch tall. They are bell shaped, and have nipples. Some somewhat closed caps seemed to not have developed their nipples. Color appears dark, bluish bruising inside the caps and along some bruised parts of the stem. (Especially on the bottom root area)

Gills: Dark, little lighter then the cap, somewhat wavy in age I believe, but mostly straight. I believe their attached, as in attached to the stalk if that is what this means by definition.

Stalk: 1 inch - 2 inches (approximately) diameter seems to be about a centimeter thick.

Spore Print: Dark blue / purple

Edit: I was wrong, the smaller, not fully opened caps still do have nipples.

I will have pictures as soon as my friend is home. Hopefully bluing is more prominent with it's already very dark nature.

Possible Cyanasence or Azurences? Spelling? Lol...

The second patch we found was much larger, located in mulch/bark in an old garden. These ones were light brown to brown, with about the same colored gills. The stalks are tough, white, and appear to have blue bruising. The rim of the cap also appears to have blue bruising (As blue mixes with the brown of the cap making it appear green/blue) Dark black/bluing along the bases of the stocks, and on damage marks on the stocks (from picking)

Summary:

Cap: All were mature and open unfortunately, so they were fully open, and somewhat wavy. A rich brown color. Unlike the mimics, these stood out with tough stalks, and blue bruising appearing (Or so it seems blue. I mean, from looking at pictures, it's the same sort of bruising, at least in ones with dark black/blue bruising. The rim of the caps had apparent blue/green bruising. I assume the green is from the brown and blue hues mixing visibly (As they create a green)

Gills: Same color as the cap for the most part. Apparent dark blue/green bruising on the gills, and along the bottom portion of the rim.

Stalk: White, tough, not perfectly straight, but nonetheless straightish. Apparent dark black/blue bruising. Especially near the bases of the stalks.

Spore Print: I can't obtain one. It has been raining all day, and on our walk, as well as all the caps are fully open, and spored most likely already.

I will have pictures soon, as soon as my friend is home.

I'm sorry my description suck, I've never had to describe them before like this at all, and my terminology is still off I'm sure.
