Hi Im kinda new here, this is my first post. My name is John and live in Copley Oh. Last year I became interested when I found a Giant Puffball in my yard. So...
The large polypore looks like Meripilus sumstinei. Its common names are giant polypore and black staining polypore. It should have stained wherever you...
Definitely not the chestnut bolete. Possibly it is Boletus (now Xanthoconium) separans. Two of your photos appear to be of a polypore, either Polyporus...
John, The stem on the chestnut bolete is hollow and the cap seldom exceeds 4", usually only 1" to 2" I concur with mycopossum. The bolete is in the edulis...
... it is a bit robust for that sp. The black stem is very characteristic and the clustered growth is more common than in P.radicata, but that's not etched in...
... the agaricus next to the polypore. The annulus is a bit "skirty" and the stem more slim. Could be A. placomyces which would have a blackish central spot...
Thanks Ill look at that. However the stem was actually very much the same coloring as the cap with a good bit of white also. The black that you see is mud....
Thanks for the heads up. I did look for some of those features, there was no yellowing what so ever nor blackish spotting. I did eat a bit fried with a little...
thank you for your response ,i did a test on the large polypore and it had no signs of staining black even after an hr. or so .do you think now it couldve...
... center and then a requested picture from the doctor. Small Lepiota I wasn't sure of. sent it to Walt S., same response. The poisoning was a small girl in...
John, I worry that you would eat mushrooms so promiscuously. There are hundreds of twin-like mushrooms out there. It's your neck, but I would advise you to...
- First off thank you for the admonition. I am not thin skinned. I also take your point about the horse race. I have often thought this. The use of several...
Bob. the mushroom you mailed to me was indeed Leucoagaricus naucinus. (smooth lepiota, Lepiota naucina) I personally wouldn't eat it. It has questionable...
I stand corrected: many newcomers use field guide pics to ID mushrooms.Bad approach! I was glad to hear you use keys...the best way to travel. Your post tells...

My bearshead log kicked in yesterday. Nearly a peck sack full. Plenty of Pleurotus out now, too. Been dry here in central Ohio, but after a good rain (over an...
Cut my corn yesterday and found two late ears with ustilago maydis on them. I enjoyed a rare corn smut omlet this morning. If you can get past the appearance...
Hi: We found some on sweet corn we grew in our back yard (Riverside, CA) and cooked it according to directions in a Mexican cookbook we have. As I recall, it...
... it in flour lightly. Puts sort of a crust on it. You can put ripe spores on the early silk of your cobs and grow the stuff, however, there is a chance if...
I have updated the Calendar of Events on the OMS Website to include pointers to the latest information. http://www.ohiomushroom.org/oldoms/events.html...
Is this gymnopilus spectibilus, the "big laughing gym"? I'm not sure it is. I can't identify it from my materials. laughing gym is supposed to have a partial...
