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. |

Quoted: Interesting View Quote 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. |

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.

Europeans look at mushrooms differently than Americans. It seems like our first instinct is negative reaction.

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.

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

The Audubon Society Field Guide to Mushrooms of North America is a great resource in learning about mushrooms and identifying the different types. Lots of color plates.

I've found something like that myself, no idea what they are though. |

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

Quoted: 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).

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. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote 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. |

View Quote 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. |

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.

View Quote 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. |
