Compo 10,328 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Looking for an ID for these two mushrooms. I think I know what they are but would like a second opinion. 1. Found in grassy clearing in a Spruce forest. [Entoloma serrulatum?] 2. Found on mossy peat beneath Spruce. [Gomphidious glutinosus?] 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Obviously edible and on someone's breakfast plate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,325 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Let's hope so, KJ, or the breakfast eater might be paying a visit to the place where compo once worked! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,734 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Can't see them. I woldn't call myself a 'Mycologist' but I have a decent laymans knowledge of a few fungi. Sadly, not many spruce forests round here.. From what I recall all Entolomas are at best 'inedible'. Aslo from memory 'Gomphidius' tend to have a pointed gap. Here are images from Google of the species you mention. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Can you see them using these links, Col? Obviously, without a spore id it would be impossible to be certain as tot heir species. gomphidious glutinosus Entoloma serrulatum1 Entoloma serrulatum2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Perhaps Admin can merge the threads together, Red? I apologise for any inconvenience caused by my multi-threading....memory not what it used to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,734 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Shaggy Ink Caps which seem to grow every year in a local field. II took this with my phone a couple of weeks ago. Also known around Nottm as 'Cocky Lads'. Latin name is Coprinus Comatus. Edible when young and firm, though the only time I tried them I wasn't keen. They quickly 'deliquesce'..or turn to liquid.. which is basically a mass of black spores and has been used to make ink. Not to be confused with the more tan coloured 'Common Ink Cap', (Coprinus Atramentarius) which is not 'shaggy' in appearance. Also nominally edible but causes very scary symptoms if eaten in conjunction with alcohol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,020 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 I switched browser off, Microsoft Edge, and laptop as well, all on again, I still cannot see Compos first photos on 28th but can see them on the 29th via the links. I can still see all of DJs photos and I still don't know what is going on. Hope that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I think maybe you should stop posting these blank pictures for the sanity & future of the site, it obviously something you are doing wrong your end,, pictures of dogs, cats, food, cakes, pasta & milk churns leave than on FaceBook where they belong 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I'm still able to see the pictures I commented on yesterday - 22 hours after the original posting. Is this a record? (That is a rhetorical question, please don't answer it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I can see photos up until September 28th and the links work from the 29th but can see no images after that date. I wonder if it is my workshop gnomes reaching out in the world? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Picked these bad boys off Wollaton Park yesterday, got them on the boil while I wash the car, chopped with two rolls of bacon in gravy, splash of Lea & Perrins, splash of tabasco, pepper, toast. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,203 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 It was a lady actually. Our local witch. She was the one who accosted me, asking if I had a personalised car registration. She said she would never speak to me again if I had. I rushed home and bought one on line. She died not long after! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
