Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok. I think it is a close match to some of the lighter colored boletes. I think I found two variations with subtle differences. I'll keep a eye out for boletes in general and have a closer eye for details. I have eaten a few of the green russulas. Reds and yellows too. I think they might be a decent stir fry shroom when small. The texture is something to get used to tho. I hope I don't ever come across as condescending to anyone here - I'm used to doing this in environments where I'm expected to be an authority and I could see my matter of fact tone being off putting here potentially. Definitely not my intention. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did they start off yellow? If so, Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (don't think that is spelled quite right). Otherwise it is a Macrolepiota species (need to know if it stains and what colors). Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Can anyone id these? Have no intentions of consuming them but it's my first time seeing them in my yard. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/38227/56317B15-005F-4370-A6E1-2E890B952F91_jpe-2019076.JPG Didn't notice the until I snapped the pic.

sywagon - I checked on those polypores from the other day. i think you are right, they are berkleys
  1-I also found more of the lighter colored blue staining boletes. Under oaks. Subvelutipes?       2-No clue what this is. I thought it was a bolete from the top, but it is gilled. Under Oaks.   3-Found this false gilled looking mushroom under an oak. There were acrid milk caps around the area.    4- a colorful Amanita, Jacksonii? No ring?   |

Oysters always have off center stems. I think these are what are called elm oysters, or at least they were on an elm tree, though that doesn't necessarily mean anything because there are several others with stems that grow on broadleaf trees during the summer. I don't think that Elm oysters are true oysters, as in pleurotus. They grow on wood with an off center stems in groups. So they are called "oyster" |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I haven't found the elm oysters much, but those look right and they do have a more prominent stem. They did end up in a completely different family than Pleurotus. Yup. There is a long stemmed summer species that grows on poplar relatives too. Both white capped and look similar. I have been having a rough time finding black trumpets. Bascally all of these boletes I've posted are happy byproducts of my trumpet hunting efforts. Do bears eat black trumpets?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, still best guess is one of the B. subvelutipes forms, but I have a good book I can check for other options. 2 - Lactarius for sure. Looks like another L. volemus but seems a little too pink. If the latex stains brown and it smells fishy that is it. Could maybe be L. uvidus (with white latex that turns violet) or L. chrysorheus (with white latex that turns yellow) but the latter should be zonate. Yellow or lilac color changes are to be avoided (GI upset). 3 - yeah, a lactarius with one of the Hypomyces parasites (like the lobster mushroom, but the wrong species). Probably Hypomyces luteovirens. 4 - Looked like A. jacksonii at first but as you said there is no ring, and also the volva aren't there - it is A. parcivolvata (should have white patches on the cap but those get knocked off often). I find that form mostly associated with chestnut oaks with moss groud cover if that helps. Which book do you use? I am interested in getting a more in depth bolete book. 2 did smell fishy, It was the only one I found, and I have studied volemus some to get a mental image, that makes 2 after maybe 50 miles in the woods. 3) I thought it might be a zombie milk cap. 4)Neat. I saw the yellow stalk and gills, but also the lack of a ring. My Peterson field guide says it is poisonous giving it the common name of "firey deathcap", the internet says it is edible... Or poisonous. That is why I don't mess with Amanita species. |

It looks like they have a newer one out for the east with a ton of pics, and knowing the authors I expect it is excellent - probably an even better choice for your area, and I'd like to check one out. |
