There aren’t really that many deadly poisonous mushrooms in North America considering how many species we have, most we just don’t know. This probably won’t get you high either, haha.

One time I came across a massive flush of shaggy manes that had created a large fissure right across a well-used, hard-packed gravel logging road. They just split the earth open like it was garden soil.

Doesn’t look too bad in the cross section but it ended up being pretty wormy through the rest of it.

- Comment on Honey mushrooms 1 week ago:
I’m surprised we got these, season started out good but now we are going on almost 2 months with no rain in my area.
- Comment on Honey mushrooms 1 week ago:
Yeah, I feel you. I’ve been seeing these for years and just didn’t feel confident enough in my skills to eat them until this year. Now I don’t think I could mistake them for much else. I do still check each one, there were some Hypholoma sp. growing pretty close to these, not incredibly similar but enough to keep you on your toes.
- Comment on Honey mushrooms 1 week ago:
Yes, definitely what we usually do with new species but took a little extra care this time because GI upset seems to be common. When I got mushroom poisoning from the C. brunneum it was a group lunch so definitely learned my lesson, I think Chlorophyllum tends to cause a high number of issues too.

If Stereum doesn’t check out you could take a look at Plicatura.
- Comment on Anyone know what this is? 1 week ago:
Don’t think this is a lichen, seems to be a shelf fungus.

Kind of terrifying haha

Neat! I have yet to actually see the fruits but see the stained wood all the time haha.

Thanks, will do!

I was pretty suprised by how similar it is to watercolour, even straight from the jar.

- Comment on The pointiest Chroogomphus I have ever come across 3 weeks ago:
Thanks, I did take a have a look under the scope so will take another look at the photos. I was thinking something like C. ochraceus.
- Comment on The pointiest Chroogomphus I have ever come across 3 weeks ago:
I think it is just the texture of the cap, I’m not sure but I think the symbiosis is at the mycelium level.

We definitely need a weeviltime community, I had just found it before I was banned haha. Would probably fit right into this instance.

I thought honey mushrooms were parasitic on trees or otherwise lignicolous, maybe they are growing on buried wood? These look so brown compared to jacks and the gills seem to be a white or cream colour.
- Comment on My first lobsters, kind of mediocre. 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t really find them to be too dry, maybe less liquid than other mushrooms. I will try them again the next time I see them.

Are you sure these are jacks? Almost look like ringless honey mushrooms (which would explain why they were gone the next day 😂)
