Fungi Friday - A Surprise Mushroom
Here are a few fungi finds from earlier this fall for #fungifriday by @ewkaw
Look at this unassuming mushroom in the grass. I stopped only to look at it because it had a slight blueish color on the cap in the center.
I picked it and the blue kind of resembled bruising that happens to boletes.
But boletes don't have these amazing orange gills on them. I even sliced the gills to test if there was any milk coming out of them.
I vaguely remember finding this mushroom on mushroomobserver.com a long time ago. It was an edible mushrooms but I couldn't find its Latin name again... Never overestimate a mushroom that looks plain from the top.
Here is a fairly large parasol mushroom that can be confused with an edible Macrolepiota procera.
I flipped it over and noticed the gills were quite green. This on is often called the green vomiter as people harvest them thinking they are the edible parasol mushroom then end up with stomach aches and vomiting.
Fortunately it is easy to id these when you know about the green gills. Their Latin name is Chlorophyllum molybdites.
Now for the edible version Macrolepiota procera. As you can see they are quite large.
Also notice the nice ring around the stem and white gills.
Here you can really see the lack of green in the gills. Also I find that the edible Macrolepiota procera is a bit larger than the green vomiter.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
Impressive parasol mushroom and great tip about green gills. These two look alike indeed, although the spotting on the hat would be a giveaway for me. I only picked this one once. I survived without vomiting, so I guess I picked the right one 😉
First mushroom looks very much like a an edible milk-cup. The rings on top are one of the characteristics and green bruising is common too
Curious if the milk come out or not in the end?

No milk came out of the first one, but it does look quite a bit like a milk cap. Sadly around here the green vomiter is way more common than the edible parasol so I'm always getting disappointed when I see what might be one off in the distance.
In my nearby forest I only found a parasol once and no milk cup at all. Milk cups I know from my forest trips in Poland with my auntie. Plenty of those in my nan’s village 😁
that orange-gilled one is a kind of milk cap, most likely Lactarius deliciosus or Lactarius deterrimus they are native to europe and common enough but have established themselves over there. i can't tell which. both are edible but likely to be infested with insects here
You are correct thanks for reminding me of that name. Funny thing is these guys don't really bleed milk as prominently as other milk caps. Sadly there was only just this one growing so I doubt I'll be getting a good haul of these anytime soon for a meal.
if there is little milk then as long as what drips out is orange it is likely Lactarius deterrimus. here they are mostly confined to spruce forests
I did find this one around evergreen. I've been looking at photos of them not bleeding the milk in older specimens so this one was probably a bit on the old side. The blueing of the top and orange stem/gills is the dead giveaway.
Three white mushrooms 😂 gotta be an enthusiast to see the details and work the IDs on these 🙂
Yeah I kind of obsess over fungi. Maybe its because I grew up in the dry desert without any mushrooms and Illinois seems to be full of all kinds of fungi.
It looks a lot like a mushroom from my area which is edible and called girole.
We call them summer chanterelles, this one has a bit of a different cap/gill pattern. @eolianpariah2 figured out the id as Lactarius deterrimus also good edible. But this time I only found just this one by itself. Not much for a meal.
So the same as mine at least for its name

Yeah they are the same, I like to get as many as possible and dehydrate them for later. They work really well powdered and added to soup too.
