YT2095 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I was wondering if there were any Mycology experts here that could help me identify these babies? they grew in my herb bed, the spore color was black. other than that I can`t really tell you any more about them, any ideas if they were edible or not and what they`re called? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skye Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I've got a book out on fungi because I was doing doing a bit on them as part of microbiology course. It's not that useful for identification though. As a guess, the genus is Lepiota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted April 25, 2004 Author Share Posted April 25, 2004 needless to say, they are all dead now and happily decomposing on the compost heap but I have no reason to believe that when conditions are 100% correct again that the spores wont germinate again (maybe next year?). they were certainly a pleasure to have and enjoy looking at (like a flower) but more interesting would be see what they taste like also as I don`t have a death wish and am against halucinagenic drugs (personal choice), I`ve not risked it, and I don`t wish to do the old ways of feeding them to Dogs and see the reactions I recon we have about a year before it happens again, but by that time, I want the info, and hopefully a knife and fork ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Remember the mushrooms are just the fruiting bodies of the fungus, which mostly lives underground and is still probably alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiral_ju00 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I`ve not risked it, and I don`t wish to do the old ways of feeding them to Dogs and see the reactions yeah but there are those that are easily expendable. mice, rats, squirrels, etc so maybe instead of having to do the Pavlov's salivating dogs, you can do YT's hallucinating rodents?

felinlasv Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hey skye, are you sure about Lepiota, since they look a lot to me like amanita panterina, mainly because of the brown hat with the 'dots'. This is also typiccaly for amanita panterina Could you give me some more information and tell me if I'm wrong? If it really is a. panterina you should definitely not eat them, because they are quite poisonous.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Also its not even Lepiota, heres what that looks like: http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Lepiota_magnispora.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 It would be easier if there was a picture of the gills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
