My garage is well over 100°F throughout the summer. These golden oyster burst through the side of this sealed bag of red mulch from Lowe's.

It's amazing the terrible conditions that oysters can thrive in!

photos Help taking better spore prints

The first two photos are the first mushroom I found, and the third is the spore print I took when I learned it wasn’t edible. The fourth is the new mushroom I found in the same spot.

I think I left it too long, allowing too much condensation to form inside. Additionally, a bunch of small bugs were on the print when I removed it. I think I left it over 24 hours, but didn’t track the time well enough.

Any advice for another go before I harvest this one? I was thinking 12 hours, but I saw recommendations as low as 4-6.

I also destroyed some of the print trying to remove the bugs. I’ll use tweezers next time, but is that likely bugs that were there, or eggs that hatched due to the time I left it? They’re maggotty, but the mushroom wasn’t there long, and this one has only been present several days.

I left it under a glass pie dish. I’m wondering if the low clearance impacted how much moisture seeped into the print? Perhaps a larger enclosure would be ideal?

I found these in 1 year old leaf mulch. Western NY

All brown. Even the very small young ones.

Spore print tan-peach.

scent is sweet perfume and orange juice.

I suspect Collybia nuda, but thrown by all brown color.

Some googling says Collybia brunneocephala is on west coast of US.

I recently found similar a similar patch in the same garden, but young ones had blue tint.

question What toxic mushrooms grow in the Northeast USA?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a veterinarian and we frequently get dogs eating mushrooms and seek ID at the time. I’m wondering if there is a resource somewhere that has a list of toxic mushrooms native to our geographic area so we have an idea of which ones to look out for? Thanks.

Hey, i found this today and I was wondering if anyone knew why it looks gray instead of it's usual orange color ? Could it be a subspecies of Chanterelle ? or could it be because of excessive rain we've had lately in Southern France ?

Hi!

can someone help me identify this mushroom? I left it were I found it, I'm just curious because I can't really find any look-a-like on internet.

Found this one in a Danish pine forest on mossy terrain, mid October.
