I have a huge mushroom

weirdly @Slobodan is a huge mushroom

Shit really? Is that new? Cause I remember stamets talking about them here. It's pretty close I bet. Wasn't it recent that they made the distinction between red belted polypore and fomitopsis mounceae?

Fomitopsis mounceae was known as Fomitopsis pinicola in North American until quite recently, with F. pinicola sensu stricto now being considered restricted to the European continent. Taxonomy is a capricious beast, even for someone with their finger on the pulse like myself, you have to watch it or they will pull the rug right out from under you. I am a coprinoid specialist and last year Wätcher & Melzer (2020) completely reworked Psathyrellaceae and I'm still scrambling to catch up almost a full year later.

Hehe we're hogging the thread. Here still had pics on imgur. Let me also upload a round from the other day. A polypore in there I don't know. But here's the white one...

Trametes lactinea is probably a safe bet here.

Here's that gymnopilus. Need to upload some from the other day as there's there's cool looking polypore I don't know. Gimme a minute for that.



Also, fomitopsis mounceae? Never proper ideed this one either.

You should consider making an account on Mushroom Observer. I put it off for nearly 2 years, but I finally caved and made one and it actually really fun. Here's my observations thus far, all but the Desarmillaria caespitosa were found in my yard:

https://mushroomobserver.org/observer/observations_by_user/76737

They changed my Amanita elongata and Amanita erythrocephala observations to "Amanita flavoconia group," which is technically correct but I'm confident in my identifications and it won't let me change them back. Pisses me off.

I know I've looked at that before and it just doesn't seem to fit. These are small and delicate like paper thin. Lactinea, from the pics I've been looking at, seems much thicker like a lumpy bracket. These are like turkey tails.

Ooh sweet. I'll do that. You're getting me pretty excited right now. Always meant to really get educated well but it's been falling to the wayside.

Definitely looks G. speciosissimus-subspectabilis complex. One of the tryptamine alkaloid containing Gymnopilus.

The 2nd set contains at least 2 species, Fomitopsis mounceae looks good for the first. I'm not sure of the 2nd.

Thanks! Ha! It was gonna be a lazy morning here but now I'm all riled up and gotta go into the woods. There's a cool polypore I saw the other day I wanna snap a pic of for you.

Here's a Trametes lactinea that I just happen to have laying on my dresser (took this pic just now), does this look too robust?

Are you a Facebook user? It is the preferred platform of the community and the only reason that I use FB anymore. If so I recommend Mushroom Identification Page and Fungus Identification which are our flagship identification forums where you will have person to person access with myself and dozens of other experts, some of whom are much more knowledgeable than myself and include even the people who mentored me, including such illustrious mycologists as Alan Rockefeller and Dr. Rod Tulloss. If you don't have FB it's worth creating one just to be a part of our community. I cannot overstate what an indispensable resource it is. I currently belong to around 370 identification forums that span the globe in at least 23 languages at last count.

No I just can't do Facebook even though it has some features that I'd like to use. Like marketplace to sell shit. But I just can't do it. Don't wanna participate in that. Kinda a hypocrite though since I got instagram.

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

Oh wait I did take pics the other day. That green is algae yes? There's a little bolete at the end too. Forget what tree it was under tho.

That's too bad. You're really missing out on a world of knowledge. I've learned everything I know from those forums and the wonderful people who frequent them. I went from zero to expert level in 2 years all thanks to that platform. (Results will vary however, that's not normal. I don't work as I have been in quite poor health the last 4 or so years, and dedicate 100% of my time to my studies, 8-14 hours a day, everyday. A luxury of time that most adults just don't have. Also, I pick things up much faster than most, so one should not expect to become expert level in 2 years, as realistically I've dedicated as much time to it as an average person could in 10 years.)

The green is algae yes. I'd like to see if the hymenophore is even or poroid. It could be a species of Stereum. The Boletaceae looks to be a species of Gyroporus. Polypores and boletes are both not my forte. I'm much better with gilled mushrooms.

You know what, that fertile surface look too light for Gyroporus. That's more indicative of Tylopilus. Consider Tylopilus balloui.
I think I jumped the gun because I found my first Gyroporus (G. smithii) yesterday morning.

I have a huge mushroom growing on my lawn. I cut the grass 5 days ago so this thing grew fast. It’s about 8 inches in diameter now. It’s on a dead patch of grass under a tree, more weeds than grass actually.

What should I do with it? Options in poll above.

Option 5.

Send it to me!

I assumed dick thread. Misleading thread title.

Hey asshole!

You're a dick!

 

[fungi]

put it in your butt

Put it her butt!
