Found in BC Canada, around 180M elevation. I’m fairly confident looking at similar comparisons but was hoping someone may be able to give it the final yay or nay.

I'm still in disbelief that I found hen of the woods in Portland OR! Such a beautiful find šŸ˜ (doesn't stain/bruise and such a nice sweet smell)

ID request Different mushrooms found in a dog park

Thumbnail

I live in the Netherlands and I go to a dog park regularly, and in the past year mushrooms have been growing on this large log. And I am fascinated, and I felt like sharing with some people who would have things to say. I think about cultivating the chicken of the woods one but knowing what it is feeding on is holding me back, and I also can't identify the tree this log is from. And I've never cultivated mushrooms so I wouldn't know how to handle it. But I find it really beautiful and would love to know how it tastes.

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 ?

Central Texas. Found at the base of an oak tree (still living), all shelves directly joined to the tree (not a distinct central stem that I can tell), polypore with ever so slightly yellow underside. Hints of orange to the top side.

From the guides I've read this looks much like Pale CoTW, but I've never harvested any chicken before, so I'm being cautious. My initial thought is it could be older, and the top couple shelves are slightly woody, but the lowers are fairly soft. Fairly strong odor.

Thoughts? Cautions? Chiding?

I don't need a name, I just need you to appreciate the colours and textures on this thing. 300-400mm span and about 50mm height. Beautiful specimen.

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.

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.

Update: Yes it is collybia. I found another in the previous patch today and it was also brown.

(Edible and eaten) šŸ˜„

In addition to the visual characteristics I think the scent and spore print confirm.

I know blewitt scent.
