POTHUNTERS PERIODICAL June 09 With morel season but a memory, either bad or good, we swing into June. June is for weddings, not mushrooming. There isn't...
Found my first boletes of the year, a couple of the minute Chalciporus piperatus. A few russulas were up, but they were so beat up an ID was impossible....
Bill, in all my years of hunting mushrooms, I have never seen this one!  Dick ... From: bill_kurpiewski <bill_kurpiewski@...> Subject: [ohioms] First...
Bill. Ooops, right church, wrong pew. I meant I had never found p. unbellatus. Regarding the bolete. The splitters are now saying these little buggers are...
Dick, I didn't know that about B. rubellus. Thank for the info. Man it's hard to keep up with the changes! For some odd reason P. umbellatus seems to...
 Bill, the guys in Michigan find this thing all the time...maybe its more northerly but I hunted in Michigan a lot and still never found it. I never knew...
Dick, you got me curious so I checked my dates for P. umbellatus. I have a May 29th sighting (this year) as the earliest. Five sightings were in June (though...
I get the cinnabar polypore when have wild cherry in my wood pile. I have never found it on anything except wild cherry, have you? Dick. ... From:...
Dick, sorry so long for the reply. I don't have a home computer (at least not one that works). It's interesting what you say about the black cherry. I've...
unseasonably dry here in central Ohio. Not a drought as yet, but it's thinking along thiose lines southern Ohio is drenched. I knew I should have gone to...
I keep finding these mushrooms in my yard but I can't find a good ID in any of my books. The caps are light tan and kind of leathery, yet tender. The gills...
Seth. Always give a cap size when you post a pic. You have either agrocybe praecox or Agrocybe pediades. .Also: always take a spore print, A spore color...
Pam, what you have is Agrocybe preacox (a one time pholiota) more commmonly known as the "Spring Pholiota". It typically grows on lawns and grassy areas. It...
Hello Group, These are found on my Equine Compost. The compost is about 4 years old. These mushrooms are very in appearance. The smaller ones look gray to...
Hi again, the mushroom in 0220 is some type of Russula. 0226 through 0229 look like a type of Crepidotus. Offhand I'd say C. applanatus. 0231 is a...
With your dialogue you are describing Strophaia rugosoannulata. Your pics' however' are Macrolepiota rachodes. I fear there is a major mixup somewhere along...
A picture of a red russula usually is a ho-hum. there's a gillion of them and using a picture...no matter how good, will never feed the bulldog. 0220 is a red...
I left the mushroom overnight and wow a beautiful white spore print. I also cut the bulb and it did not turn a bright or beautiful color. It kind-of turned...
I think perhaps the fruting you used was not fresh enough. The saffron reaction only works on freshly gathered carpophores. The fact you got an orange line...
Thanks for all the information...It has lead me to keep reading and looking for new mushrooms. I DO NOT eat any of the mushrooms I find. I do not have any...
Hello, I'm Karen Maag and I'm working on a mushroom book in the Louisville Ky area. I haven't any pictures of compost mushrooms yet. Maybe you can send me an...
Well, I could not see them, even with link provided. Your description fits, wine caps, Stropharia rugosoannulata. But if the pictures match Macrolepiota...
