Bruce 42 Report post Posted February 3, 2020 Remarkably enough, some mushrooms are coming up in January in central Indiana. Here are a couple I found this afternoon growing in blue spruce needle duff. If anyone could ID, I would be grateful. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qLR48UGZWEh6Vu7UhYK1g9KY26SbZraO Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoosiermushrooms 23 Report post Posted February 4, 2020 There are a few possibilities that jump to mind, but I am not sure of the species off hand. If you would be interested in drying the speciemns, I would take a closer look at it. - Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm certainly willing to do that, but in the past times you've suggested that to me, you never gave me your mailing address. Getting a spore print at the moment.

Bruce 42 Report post Posted February 4, 2020 Well, here's the spore print: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YgSEC73dZUZolUO9i6l3Qnv3TUnMTBA8 Kinda buff- or cream-colored, and not very dark at all. Along with the robust stem and notched gill attachment, I'm currently leaning towards a Wood Blewit (Lepista nuda). Could be wishful thinking on my part.

hoosiermushrooms 23 Report post Posted May 6, 2020 DNA came back as Lepista nuda. This record will help to add to the morphological and ecological variation that we can expect from this species. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And here I could have eaten it all along. :-) Hopefully a few more will pop up at this same location this fall. Regards, Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
