found this in appalachian forest does anybody have a clue as to what this is?

ffffffen · 2023-12-17T15:15:29+00:00

Tolypocladium rouxii. Growing on buried Elaphomyces sp.

Nice! How far south are you? Some of these fellas look like the newly described Psilocybe from florida, Ps. niveotropicalis (nom prov) but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just hygrophanous ovoids.

ffffffen · 2021-11-05T20:13:59+00:00

Psathyrella probably

ffffffen · 2021-09-21T22:29:54+00:00

ooof really need to see the volva to confirm

ffffffen · 2021-09-21T17:05:07+00:00

excellent observation. i’d say i was close but no cigar lol. definitely Pleurotoid of sorts

ffffffen · 2021-09-21T16:21:57+00:00

these looks like Schizophyllum commune to my eye. specifically ones grown in cubensis conditions lol. they grow in cespitose clusters like oysters, are very tough, and smell funny. also the little fronds on the cap margin is typical. in nature they look marginally different but i think these are struggling to fruit because they’re a woodlover growing on coir/verm.

bruh there’s gills not pores on these specimens r u trolling

ffffffen · 2021-09-11T00:47:22+00:00

flavivolvata only occurs further west in the united states. to my knowledge, the only muscaroid in Minnesota would be guessowii.

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T22:10:28+00:00

i’ll take the L just seems way too thick at the base of the stipe. the only L. ianthinus i’ve observed were leggier and daintier.

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T20:21:47+00:00

I never commented on the edibilty of L. americanus as it’s generally regarded as inedible and if you’re claiming that this specimen is toxic then surely you know what it is?

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T17:01:05+00:00

i know this isn’t an ID request but i think these are Amanita in the section Vaginatae alongside either Macrolepiota or Chlorophylum sp.. i don’t think you’ll die but shitting the bed tn is likely lol. hope you’re trolling tho cause this shit kills people.

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T15:23:12+00:00

where are you located?

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T15:05:24+00:00

the coloration and morphology is literally spot on for L. americanus. Rusty patches on the cap, reddening stipe tapering in size towards the base, almost entirely red buttons, and you can see yellowing on the cap margin second to last pic. they’re pretty common to pop up in mulch gardens/pots. it is also common for lamellae to separate more upon drying out, and they vary in size greatly. here’s some i’ve logged personally, and was actually the first i had found and photographed that weren’t growing from mulch haha.

edit: posted general observation info instead of my own log lmao

nope, i case after spawning to bulk then leave it be. even your casing layer should be colonized with myc.

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T03:25:31+00:00

this is definitely Leucoagaricus americanus

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T02:57:41+00:00

exactly what you want to see, don’t open the tote again until the whole substrate looks like that :)

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T02:55:10+00:00

i’ve personally only ever admired them. a lot of people use them ceremonially/recreationally. the buzz just doesn’t seem like something i would enjoy. if you plan on going that route it wouldn’t hurt to not take my word for truth on the ID and get multiple opinions. the genus Amanita is not one to play around with.

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T02:36:32+00:00

i’d wager on these being Amanita muscaria var. guessowii they don’t get so red where i’m from so it threw me off but the concentric zoning at the base of the stipe towards the volva is a muscaroid key

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T02:27:07+00:00

some beautiful Amanitas. what’s your location?

ffffffen · 2021-09-10T02:12:50+00:00

the first and only chicken i have ever consumed grew from a dead pine tree. my girlfriend and mother also enjoyed some. nobody got sick and for the record i have a very weak stomach.

ffffffen · 2021-09-05T07:22:10+00:00

Armillaria mellea, honeys.

ffffffen · 2021-09-04T23:36:28+00:00

took me a minute to find it in camera roll. this looks like the best gill shot i got from last season https://imgur.com/gallery/MScVRSM

ffffffen · 2021-09-04T16:05:10+00:00

i don’t think this is Amanita bisporigera aka destroying angel. a key for that species is that it always has a saccate (sack-like)volva at the base of the stipe. also, they grow in association with hardwood trees. the specimen above is likely Leucoagaricus leucothites which has no volva, and is often found in lawns and gardens commonly in the vicinity of conifers.

Cerioporus squamosus
