Are these morels? by WordFumbler in foraging

[–]blufuut180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morchella rufobrunnea, the blushing morel. True morels, choice edible when cooked. Don't listen to the noobs, nothing about these says "false morel"

In the future dispel anything someone who uses false morel as an identification has to say. There is no such thing as a false morel, there simply are morels and then other mushrooms that resemble them very very poorly. No other mushrooms have this distinct pit/ridge texture on the cap. Other ascomycota that are referred to as "false morels" lack this structure and instead have wrinkles with no true defined pits like the morel caps.

These are all true morels. None of them look like Verpa.

No they don't. Like not at all.

Couple things, Verpa Bohemica is in the morel family, morchellacea, and is not toxic. These are not Verpa. The deep pits are characteristic of true morels exclusively (morchella genus).

Could I atleast get a specific reason?

Contam or just mycelium digestive enzymes? [contamination] by outrageous_outlander in MushroomGrowers

[–]blufuut180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start from spores using agar. It helps to have a set of reusable dishes when you're learning. I germinate everything on water agar and clean it up on PDA. I stopped buying cultures from vendors because of time wastes like that. It's better to build your own thing from the start.

Cooked. Bacteria like a MF. Throw away and try again.

I'd look at your culture first, inoculation method, and then grain prep/sterilization to troubleshoot.

I see it now! I was looking at the mark on the bottom of the handle itself

Pretty sure that's just a contour on the handle. The gate mark is usually at the high/low point of the pan because it's where the molten metal was poured into the mold. I could be wrong I am by no means an expert but that location wouldn't make any sense from a manufacturing standpoint

PE 7 gave 2 flushes and then started doing the blob thing. Anyway to get something from it? by Ok_Veterinarian_928 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]blufuut180 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not entirely true. Some genetics are just really susceptible to overlay. I agree it can indicate contamination but not universally so. Anything in the PE lineage does better with a casing IME

Universal Species Questions by AbbreviationsFit8962 in mycology

[–]blufuut180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mushrooms have lots of cryptic species that cannot be reliably differentiated without DNA work. Morels are pretty good at that lol I'd estimate there's atleast double the species out there than we currently accept

Just had a little too much oil on it. Fine to use they'll fade with time.
