I'm just a person who does mycology for fun.

  • Ah A. Ocreata is actually reported to have a poor taste. I'm not in Europe either but A. Phalloides is all over North America these days thanks to introduced hardwoods.

    Most of the deaths are from East Asian immigrants mistakenly assuming the mushrooms here are like the ones at home, and they mis-identify and then harvest & eat the Amanita spp. instead of what they thought they were harvesting (I actually don't know the mushroom they mistake it for that is found in Asia).

    I've heard this factoid is pretty exaggerated, it's not like East Asia doesn't have both deadly and edible Amanitas

  • They're supposed to smell better when they're young and they're generally reported to taste good.

  • It was section Phlegmacium but that's a genus now and not all of the sticky-cap dry-stem ones ended up there so who knows.

  • Removed

    there is a solution

  • Organize.

    Voting is doing the bare minimum.

  • Is that high relative to the cost of living in the area or just high overall?

  • Significance is just a concept humans made up to make ourselves feel bad.

  • Welcome, to Nightvale

  • Agreed, here's an earthball cross-section for comparison:

  • I think you're right, that Suillus looks like S. tomentosus which grows with two-needle pine and I see a bunch of two-needle bundles in your photo. C. ochraceus is a complex but one of them is supposed to parasitize S. tomentosus so you've probably got whichever that one is.

  • Hm I guess petasatus just has browner spores than most Pluteus, the spore print here looks similar.

  • Was it growing on wood at least?

  • Nice find, the host/parasite pairings for boletes are usually species-specific so if you can ID either mushroom to species, you'll know what the other one is as well.

  • Maybe it's the lighting but that spore print looks more brown than pink. Otherwise it looks enough like P. Petasatus IMO.

  • That was a Terminator 2 thumbs up, definitely dead.

  • People with crippling social anxiety: I'm an just an introvert haha

  • Or blocking off the aisle you need to go down for unclear purposes.

  • Yeah but it also sounded like a lot of fun IMO.

  • I'm surprised there's no algae on them given how much is on the tree, I'm used to seeing lots of green on the caps.

  • A couple of the small ones look super fuzzy, I wonder if there's a mold attacking them.
