Western NC - ID help on a few mushrooms
    #8659511 - 07/20/08 03:42 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

I went hunting this weekend around a lake located in Western NC. I kept for types of mushrooms that are edible if I have IDed them correctly. Id like some verification before I try them, though. :smile:

1. Strobilomyces Floccopus "Old Man of the Woods"
I found these two off the side of a trail on a bank. They were growing out of a lot of leave coverage. I almost missed them completely because they blended in so well.










2. Chanterelle
I found this growing out of the ground beneath a tree. Im horrible at identifying trees, so I dont know what kind it was. I think its a Chanterelle of some sort.








3. Tylopilus Eximius "Lilac-brown Bolete"
Found along a path in the woods.








4. Boletus Bicolor - Two-colored Bolete
Also found along a path in the woods.

Anyone?

I'm mostly interested in getting some help with #2. I'd like to cook it for dinner and I'm getting hungry. :crazy2:

The rest I'm probably not going to eat unless I find out they are choice edibles. The old man of the woods looks like it would taste horrible, even if it is edible.

#3 isn't Tylopilius Eximius I found one awhile back and it was extremely bitter, not something you are going to want to eat even if you find one.

#2 looks like a chanterelle, but it it doesn't have any gills. It is completely smooth on the underside.

I'd say chanterelle though. I don't know of any other fungus that looks like that.

Cool, thanks for the help.


@OnlineDrewwyann
I found this mushroom called a Smooth Chanterelle. Maybe that is what I have...

Those are chanterelles.  Check out GeorgeM's post reguarding stink horns.

Yep, those look just like what I have. It threw me off when you said stink horns, but I'm pretty sure this is the the thread you were talking about.

Thanks!

Your tylopilus looks  like it might be Xanthoconium seperans

What kind of tree did you find the Old Man of the Woods by?
Usually when I find them with stems as big as yours they are growing by Hemlock.

^^ That might be it, check for a brown/pale reddish print. If you've got ammonia on hand, drop a little onto the cap and look for a bluish green tint.

I wish I could tell you the type of tree, but I'm not sure what it was. I know we have hemlocks, so it's certainly possible that is what it was under.

That does look a lot like Xanthoconium seperans. I'll do the print tonight and see what I get. Don't have any ammonia on hand.

There are non-bitter species of Tylopilus you might want to look into... T. ferrugineus is one of them that looks a bit like your mushroom. A spore print color will separate Tylopilus from Xanthoconium with ease.

You really should consider picking up a bottle of amonia -- it's cheap and VERY helpful.
