Online Morel Certification - Saturday 3/20/21
hoosiermushrooms posted a topic in Identification Discussion
This is the seventh year we have hosted mushroom training sessions in conjunction with the Indiana State Department of Health. Last year we held two trainings online and the format worked fairly well for the material we needed to cover. We will be holding our morel and wild mushroom trainings online this year as well. All aspects of the course will remain the same for the online format. The course will take place from 1pm to 5pm. Saturday morning (3/20/2020), you will receive a link and passcode to the Zoom meeting to the email you register with. We will begin with introductions, spend an hour on food safety, spend 1-2 hours on morels, and conclude with a test. The test will be emailed out to participants after the course is complete. By finishing and returning the test, you will have completed the requirements for the course, and we will issue the requisite recommendation to become a morel mushroom identification expert for Indiana. (The summer wild mushroom course online, the exam will be required to be taken at a local testing center.) Digital copies of course materials will be emailed once you register for the course. Before Saturday, please go to the link below to join a test meeting, to ensure your camera and microphone are properly configured: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002262083-Joining-a-test-meeting Registration for the online course can be found here: -

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.

Online Morel Certification - Saturday 4/25/20
hoosiermushrooms posted a topic in Identification Discussion
Our only morel course of 2020 was held in Indianapolis, Indiana in March. Due to concerns with COVID-19, we asked elderly participants and those with underlying medical conditions to refrain from attending and we would get them certified online. A number of participants from our morel course in March chose to stay home at that time. The make-up course is slated to take place on a Zoom meeting this Saturday, April 25, 2020. Due to several requests to hold an online course, we are opening up this meeting to additional participants. All aspects of the course will remain the same for the online format. The course will take place from 1pm to 5pm. Saturday morning (4/25/2020), you will receive a link and passcode to the Zoom meeting to the email you register with. We will begin with introductions, spend an hour on food safety, spend 1-2 hours on morels, and conclude with a test. The test will be emailed out to participants after the course is complete. By finishing and returning the test, you will have completed the requirements for the course, and we will issue the requisite recommendation to become a morel mushroom identification expert for Indiana. (If we hold the summer wild mushroom course online, the exam will be required to be taken at a testing center.) Digital copies of course materials will be emailed once you register for the course. Before Saturday, please go to the link below to join a test meeting, to ensure your camera and microphone are properly configured: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002262083-Joining-a-test-meeting Registration for the online course can be found here: Please email steve@hoosiermushrooms.org if you have any questions. -
Package received. Will update once I have more info. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/39546019

I do not think so. Would you have a shot of the underside (gills and stem)?

My initial take on the latest round of images is that it would not be Chaga. I am still waiting on getting some results from the OP. I will update here once I have them. Chaga has been reported on a variety of trees. It is just most common on birch, but can appear elsewhere.

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
