Radiation Cow posted:It's mushroom season and there are plenty of Amanitas floating around. Planning ok going actual mushrooming for some pine rings in the near future. Those look glorious! I haven’t seen much around me except mica caps so far.

Looks like an Agaricus, but they can be challenging to tell apart even when they're fresh.

     Still don’t know what these shaggy Agaricus(?) are, but we are getting lots of them and they are beautiful. freeedr fucked around with this message at 02:32 on May 28, 2023 |

If you find a fresh one you could try to get a spore print on white paper, that’s helpful with ID

My partner found some morels but unfortunately they were G. esculenta rather than M. esculenta and we're not brave or Finnish enough to eat them. Otherwise nothing yet this season.

I think the usual ID point is that true morels are entirely hollow while false ones have some stuff inside the "brain", but honestly I just felt suspicious looking at these and had them checked by a volunteer-run mushroom safety service who confirmed they were the bad* type. *Of course they are considered a great delicacy in some places but I'm not really interested in mushrooms you have to repeatedly parboil to make mostly edible.

False morels don't resemble true morels all that closely IMO though it is good to use the reliable diagnostics.

I still haven't seen a true morel in the flesh  . Allegedly they grow in these parts but if anyone knows where they aren't saying.

A local vendor at the nearby farmers' market has been able to get morels relatively reliably lately. The last couple weekends they've also had porcini mushrooms too. Another vendor reliably has shiitake, chestnut, oyster, and lions mane mushrooms.  Last Sunday at the farmers market I grabbed some morels, porcini, and lions mane mushrooms to roast. Had them with steamed asparagus & beets (roasted the roots, pureed the leaves with butter).

Aren't porcinis and other boletes common enough for you to pick yourself where you are? Here (in northern europe) they grow like dirt when in season

I wouldn't be surprised if porcinis grow well here in Oregon. The environment is good enough for a variety of mushrooms. I believe truffles can even grow in the area. Speaking of truffles… there was a Nicholas Cage movie called Pig where his truffle-hunting pig is stolen & he has to find it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSJTPbAm-SM My ex-roommate dated the person that raised the pig used in the movie & even got to meet Mr. Cage in person. I don't recall if the pig could actually find truffles though.

Even better the initial marketing almost had Pig look like some John Wick-style revenge film, when instead it's a meditative film about loss. My ex-roommate found a copy at a store for  so he finally watched it… and hated it.

Porcinis and their close relative, spring kings, absolutely grow in the PNW. Never as explosively as in Eastern Europe, but enough that you can absolutely hunt them at high altitudes— my mushroom groups are already showing them at 4k ft in Oregon. We do have a LOT of mushroom munchin bugs though. You gotta hunt the shrumps because by the time you actually see one, it’s more beetle than bolete.

You get them under spruce and fir out there right?

Noble fir mostly, although noble often grows interspersed with Douglas fir (not a true fir) and Sitka spruce here so it’s hard to tell exactly. I found a tiny porcini last year at about 3.8k ft under noble and sitka near a low alpine lake in early August. It was higher than I usually look that time of year, since I typically hunt chants in the fall and not much in the summer, but I’ll be hunting there again this year.

Found in NY attached to (sigh...a tree) sorry nerds, thought it was chicken of the woods while I was out but it is nothing like that. I won't eat it but am still curious about what it is. My bet is a non-edible chanterelle look alike (to a novice fungi-dummy)
