we are not your google

10/8/2012 10:12:03 AM

Edible ones. Try them and report back.


Also, are you not capable of using google?

10/8/2012 10:12:54 AM

damn i was going to do that let me google that for you thing but it'd be overkill at this point

10/8/2012 10:13:33 AM

what the previous posters meant is "i do not know"

10/8/2012 10:17:28 AM

You mean "I don't know, but I'm enough of an adult to find out on my own instead of making a shitty thread because I'm helpless."

10/8/2012 10:19:14 AM

You guys are gonna have to point me to the page on google that has photo recognition software and can help her not have to sort through 100s of photos of mushrooms or ask a message board that has reasonable chance of having an expert on it.

Because that technology must be the shit.

I know one of yall has to be an expert on shrooms.

You know you can find things out without special photo recognition software, right? It might take *gasp* some thought or effort, but it is possible. Did you even try to google it? Are you aware of all of the sites specific to this very subject? Why not start there? Why not do something for yourself?

10/8/2012 10:29:52 AM

the point is all any of us would do is google image search "yellow mushroom" and compare what the results are to her pictures which she herself is perfectly capable of doing herself

10/8/2012 10:30:55 AM

Yellow honey mushrooms



I enjoy these challenges. Bring it TWW.

10/8/2012 10:33:53 AM

I was able to very quickly and easily find out what they are by searching for it on google, no special software required.

You've got to be a bit more specific than "yellow mushrooms" though. How did some of you make it through college without any critical thinking skills?


^Elise gets it. It was VERY easy to find out, wasn't it? Much easier than making this thread and having to deal with people like me that will call you out for being helpless and lazy.

[Edited on October 8, 2012 at 10:34 AM. Reason : Fuck this thread.]

10/8/2012 10:34:03 AM

^^^^ I did but didn't really find anything definitive. Plus mushrooms are tricky to identify if you're not an expert. I know there's a couple folks on here that do mushroom hunting so I'm hoping they can provide some insight that's better than GIS

wrong. that's all you would do. she was asking on the off chance that there is an actual expert. There have been hundreds of threads on TWW asking what some random plant or snake or spider is and some field researcher pops in and identifies it.

10/8/2012 10:34:46 AM

I gave you an answer...

10/8/2012 10:36:03 AM

Could be jack'o lantern mushrooms, btu doesn't really look like it.

take a spore print and then google 'yellow clustered mushroom with XXXX colored spore print'

10/8/2012 10:36:25 AM

please note that people have already USED GOOGLE to give her her answer that was she was too lazy to find herself

"Yellow honey mushrooms"

When I look those up, it seems like they all a lower frill thing below the cap, like this:



But the mushrooms I saw didn't have anything like that. I'll have to try and take a spore print on my way back to my car this afternoon assuming people haven't kicked them over/they've been eaten by animals by then lol.

10/8/2012 10:38:08 AM

The clouds of smug are so thick itt that I can't breathe in here.
Google doesn't identify mushrooms from pictures, and neither can most mycologists.

At a bare minimum we need at least some of the following info to start identifying the mushroom
0. habit and habitat (we can see this from your pic, though knowing what kind of tree that is would be useful)
1. dimensions
2. what the underside of the cap looks like. if it has gills, spacing and pattern of the gills and details about how they attach to the stipe. if it doesn't have gills, does it have pores or little teeth? is it smooth?
3. color of spore print
4. is there an annulus around the stipe or other remains of the universal veil?
5. is the stipe hollow or solid?
6. when you dig up the base, is there a sac around the base, or is it another shape? growing directly from wood?
6. texture of the cap and stipe
7. smell
8. acid test (does the flesh turn colors in various acids)
9. microscopic photos of the spores



I'd guess that this is a member of the Tricholomataceae, given habit and habitat. go back at night and see if they glow in the dark! these could be the jack-o-lantern.

10/8/2012 10:38:57 AM

what about this one?

10/8/2012 10:42:20 AM

For dimensions and underside of cap, it looks really similar to Hypsizygus tessellatus. I didn't see anything that looked like it had a veil or annulus. I'm going to try to find out the rest of these this afternoon thanks

10/8/2012 10:42:55 AM

I've got 5 lafta bucks on yellow honey mushrooms. Keep me posted!

10/8/2012 10:47:34 AM

if you can, take a little knife and cut the stipe off of the cap a few mm below where they meet and take a couple of macros of the gills/attachment. digging up the base on these particular mushrooms won't be that important, they are definitely growing in cespitose clusters


the id books i have use spore print as the primary keying feature, so getting that spore print is important. however, those shrooms are young and the spores may not come out until tomorrow night. you can pick one and put it on a piece of paper (ideally half white, half black) and put a little drinking glass over it so the wind doesn't disturb it.

[Edited on October 8, 2012 at 10:54 AM. Reason : ^no annulus, so its most likely not honey mushroom ]

10/8/2012 10:53:35 AM

Dont burst my bubble!

10/8/2012 10:55:40 AM

Just eat them and post human reaction to consumption.

however, it's easier to ask a message board and see if anybody knows. in fact, i'd argue, that should be one of the primary purposes of a message board, ideally. the sharing of knowledge.

10/8/2012 11:24:55 AM

And Chit Chat will respectfully reserve it purpose. The purpose of flaming anyone who makes an internet mistake. Which is everyone.

the scaly cap is making me think Pholiota

i was hoping for spiders

instead i got lmgtfy

10/8/2012 2:33:45 PM

did you ever go look again, lol

10/9/2012 11:26:23 AM

why, those are yellow mushrooms. you're welcome

10/9/2012 7:40:26 PM

I love TWW

y'all should use Google Goggles yo
