Pinch the stem and looking for blue or purple bruising is usually a good field test for certain attributes.  

That doesn't ID them it just means they probably have certain attributes which narrows it down.

I have a book by MDC that gives detailed info on things you'll find in MO I'll take if I go looking.  It does omit certain ones.

If you're really interested in mycology some kind of guide specific to your region is probably the way to go.    

Project Noah is a pretty cool resource.

Yep, those are the fruit.  That's my dumb simplification and probably not scientific.   The spiderweb structure (mycelium)  you'll see in dirt is the animal plant fungus thing?  In spalted wood you can see where different colonies have collided and competed.  

The things fungus make possible and the evolution of them are pretty mind blowing.    Picture life without bread, cheese, alcohol, or a large amount of medicines.   They're underappreciated.

These are great pics, but it is a really hard group. Attached gills with pink spores, on the ground. Some Entoloma and a good possibility to make you sick (muscarine/PLS). Entoloma abortiva is very similar (and good) but I need to see it in real life, and it helps a lot if you find the aborted honey mushrooms with it.

Think it’s easy to ID a deadly one?

I searched deadliest mushrooms.  These look harmless enough (but will kill you dead if eaten):



Conocybe filaris



Webcap



Deadly daperling

Oh cool.  A mushroom thread.  My sister sent me this pic recently from the Canton, TX area.  Sorry, no pic of the underside.  Is it a psilocybin or poisonous?  I looked on shoomery.org, but wasn't sure. It's like the ARFCOM of mushrooms.  I'm not joining another forum to ask them.

All kinds of animals eat lots of different mushrooms, and some basically only ever eat mushrooms (e.g. some kangaroo rats and red back voles). Hard to say if it is a good sign, but it certainly isn't safe to do just because they can.

Not edible - a Conocybe sp. like Conocybe apala. These actually will come up in the morning and disappear on their own by afternoon.

I have seen this a lot in the fungus game(on the ground, not on trees). Makes me think Im crazy. Either, "I swear they were here" or "Where the hell did these come from"... I enjoy it as much as hunting. Less blood & MUCH easier to get out of the woods.

That mainly distinguishes edible boletes (porcini mushrooms) from boletes that will give you stomach cramps.  There are no deadly boletes.

Ring on the stem at the base and ring where the cap meets the stem is a good sign not to eat that mushroom.

There are NO general rules for eating gilled mushrooms. You have to know the species. Just say, "the fact it has gills is a good sign not to eat it" unless you know much much more than stuff about rings. Boletes, chanterelles, polypores, puffballs etc. are where to start.

Yes, that is correct, but not knowing EXACTLY what species it is is enough reason not to eat any mushroom.

Identification by macroscopic visible features is often insufficient.

The hole through it is from something that ate it up or something environmental. It is a milk cap for sure in the genus Lactarius - you can see the latex in the second pic as little white drops exuding from the gills. Zonate orange/buff cap with small pits (scrobiculation) on the stalk, distant gills. The question is if the latex changed to a more yellow color when exposed or whether it is acrid (peppery). Best guess it is close to Lactarius zonarius (a European name with NA relatives poorly sorted out).

Thank you so much so helping

Mycology is starting to get fun!

Funny enough I had an old tree in the yard and some more of those yellow ones popped up there

I wonder if it’s the same group

Your local grocery store will have a fantastic selection of perfectly safe, delicious mushrooms both fresh and dried, whole or sliced and generally at least 3 or 4 different varieties.

Why the fuck do people insist on risking wild mushrooms?  It keeps coming up over and over.  Just get some from the store and enjoy.

That’s not a general rule for eating.  That’s a general rule for not eating.  If you see a ring on the base of the stem and a ring where the stem joins the cap, you should presume the mushroom is poisonous.  There are non-poisonous mushrooms that have those traits; but that’s like betting against the house in Vegas.

You can go wrong quickly with mushrooms.  I know of at least two professors of mycology who permanently screwed their kidneys.  I stick to things like morels or boletes.

Puffballs and chanterelles are pretty easy to identify too.  Other than those, wild mushrooms are very risky.

The problem with the deadly ones is that symptoms don't appear until after the mushroom is digested. It's too late before you know it.

Ok but if you have a general rule for not eating, that implies the rest are safe, and they aren't. I think you may be referring to a volva at the base of the stalk and free gills i.e. Amanita which would be especially good to avoid though.

It is a very small world - I know of no examples of academic mycologists doing this over two decades. Did they do it together? Who and what university? Were they yeast molecular biologists that went on a foray once, or actual mushroom taxonomists/systemitists? Yeah, I'm kind of calling BS here.

Identifying gilled mushrooms is the hardest and you have to work them from the bottom up until you have a really broad knowledge of all of them (poisonous, edible, and not edible), then work back down to good safe edibles. It is a science though and there is absolutely no reason to screw it up.
