Post cool and/or tasty fungi you find.

Found these gigantic chanterelles on a walk yesterday. They’re sopping wet and moldy so I highly doubt they’re any good, but man they’re HUGE. Luckily found plenty more of normal size and had them for lunch today!

Bulbs can dry out so they might have, but more likely they would have been eaten by rodents. When they sprout you should be able to ID them. My stab in the dark is wild garlic.

Not sure why you asked here....not a lot of cross over between fungi foragers and root foragers.

>they were just in my yard
What was growing there? That should be where you start.

>also, here's some mushrooms that were right near it, as recompense for off topic
Mycena not sure of the exact species.

thanks for the mushroom ID, heres another set i found today, like 10ft from where the bulbs were
i don't know if these are the same mushroom that were growing last year, they look a bit different though, they sprouted in a single night

the reason i gone here to ask about the bulbs, is that i didn't see a foraging thread, so i guessed at least a few of you may have seen some in your travels
the stuff growing in my yard is a patchwork of native & a few non-native, plus, i'm new to the area, so i have no idea what grows here (northern middle tennessee), but i've been learning what i can by taking pictures & using image search, it works most of the time

Psathyrella corrugis, very common. They help break down the humic material in the soil and make it available to plants. They're often confused for magic mushrooms by beginners. But they have no psychoactive or medicinal properties. They're not poisonous, but don't have any culinary value either. Same goes for that mycena you shared before. Except for the confusion with magic mushrooms.

>i'm new to the area, so i have no idea what grows here
Ok, but we're you there this past spring? Or have you just moved there in the past few months? If you were, what was growing in that exact spot? Anything that looked like an onion or flower? Anything you can remember besides grass?

heres another thats on the logs that are again, a few ft away

moved almost 2 years ago here now, but a lot of the brush was really hard to see though, and the plants were always changing out
we've been trying to clear the invasive stuff though, and have been putting the mowed grass & fallen leaves in what we call "the grove", so far, its made the area extremely diverse with native plants
i've seen plants & shrooms that are in an area for a week, then a new one appears for a week, then again, all for a over a year now, its pretty mind blowing for me, since i come from a desert
i also don't know if the plant might have blended in with the few other grasses, not having flowers, like many onion/garlic type plants will do in the first year, since the lily thats also in the area will sometimes skip a year without coming out, and others won't flower for a year

Hmmm....this one's a bit small to make a positive ID on. It kinda looks like it could be a young chicken of the woods. But it could also be a fomitopsis or another woody conk. Keep your eye on it.

i've seen some around already, they seem to only get about that big, the top brown thing above it is an old one i think

this is also another type of shroom growing on the log
its on a huge pile of logs along with all the other types thats been slowly shrinking over the couple years
i think i've seen about 50 different mushroom across the pile now, pretty neat to see soil being made in real time

Wow! That's pretty gnarly looking! I've never personally seen anything similar. But google lens suggests Antrodia. It's in the Fomitopsidaceae family. If those others don't get bigger, they're likely also fomitopsis of some variety. Are they(>>2787529) marshmallowy, corky or hard and woody?

Hmmm.....Ok, next question, what type of wood is it on? It doesn't look quite like anything I've seen personally. I'm looking through my books and doing some cross refferencing to try and figure it out. One more request, can you take a picture of the underside? I'm assuming it's pored, if it's toothed or gilled I'm looking in the wrong places.

Bottom picture is a deer mushroom, pluteus cervinus. It's named for the color of the cap. It's edible if you find them fresh.

Ok, I believe that may be Phellinus/Fuscoporia gilvas. Or another in that family. But I'm not positive. I think that's the best you're going to get from me on that one.

>is it edible? lol
No, but if you find them young, before the head turns into spores(as the one I found has), they can be used to make dyes.

thanks for the help
i don't have any books yet, and the few i've seen in stores were all over the place, and i don't live in denmark, oregon, or japan, so trying to id mushrooms from there isn't helpful
and just like with the bulb plant, the image ID engines like giving random & clearly unrelated stuff too

Check out "Appalachian Mushrooms: a Field Guide" by Walter E Sturgeon. It's supposed to be one of the best East coast mushroom field guides. "A Field Guide to the Mushrooms of the Carolinas" by Arleen and Alan Bessette is also highly rated for foraging from Virginia to Georgia and from the coast to the Mississippi River.

Smart about high value stuff. I really don't use mushrooms all that often, but I think I would if they were growing in my yard (I eat way more vegetables now that I keep a garden.) But I think a lot of it will be shared with friends and family as well (also like the garden).

You can dry out any extras that you have and they'll keep for years. If you sun dry them with the gills up then they'll also produce a ton of vitamin d. It's worth exposing the gills of any mushroom you eat to the sun for an hour or so before you cook them. I put mine on the lid of a tupperware and seal the clear bottom over the top of them so nothing runs off with my mushrooms and they don't dry out as much.

Your best bet would be to find a couple wild specimens and take spore prints. Use those to inoculate some agar. Transfer until you have several clean cultures and use those to inoculate grain bags. Once those are colonized, use those to inoculate grass piles in your yard. With luck one or more will take and you see them come up every year. Turn those spots into your yard waste collection points.

Another option would be to make brown rice flour and vermiculite cakes in wide mouth pint jars. Look up BRF cakes. You can inoculate those directly with spores, but your success rate will be lower. The advantage is, far fewer steps and less time. Just inoculate the jars, let them colonize, toss any funky looking cakes and use any successful ones to inoculate those grass piles.

Take a short cut and transfer a tissue sample from the interior of the wild mushroom to agar then to grain then to spawn. You'll be using DNA that was already selected to grow in the wild, there's less chance of contamination during growing, and it will skip the germination step.

Yeah, if he's already setup for agar work, a tissue culture will definitely save time. But if he's not already doing myc work, he's probably not ready for tissue culture. Either way, I'd still take the spore print for future work.
