Hello this is Joe again. A couple of months have passed since my last post, and I still have not found any oyster mushrooms. The ones I posted were from last year, apparently they survived the winter. I thought that oysters would appear before the morels, but I was mistaken. I have not found any new trace of them, but the morels are here. I found some by the Boise river today.

Last week I have seen some mushrooms for the first time. Can you help me identify these ones below? Are these mushrooms well known and common for you? I specially want to know more about the clitocybe nuda, if that is what they are.
They both have notched gills, and strong micelia threads, early spring...Clitocybes?

| Clitocybe albirhiza o similar? |
Above: White spore print. Cap flat, buff.
Funnel shape, fleshy, stem widends down. Smells ok.

| Clitocybe nuda (can't appreciate the color but is lilac on the gills and stem) The cap is tan) |
.
Below: Spore print buff-pinkish.Margin incurved. Smells ok.
Do you know this mushroom?
Joe, you are the second person who has found morels along the greenbelt. i had an e-mail from Ann Hutchinson yesterday to tell me that they are out. Great picture. The morel is called the yellow morel. We find these first in the spring along the river. I hope you found enough to go with your dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Joe! I went out Sunday and today and found only Coprinus micaceous (shaggy mane) and the others you posted above. One day I hope to be the "first finder" too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOops! meant to say "comatus" not "micaceous," (though I found those too.)

I think the lilac colored mushroom with pinkish spore is a Wood Blewit
