skedone

cab or john(mushroom man) ID help please

hi anyone got a id on these please its 3 different types of mushrooms cant find them in any books

1 one




second one




third one

Stewy

Your third could be Polyporus squamosus
skedone

they could be young ones of them i spose just don't know the stems were about 5-6 inches that was 15 foot high up a tree and that hole was about 2 foot across
cab

Gosh... Don't suppose we have spore prints? I'm very much a spore print kind of guy, you know Smile

The bottom one does look most like dryads... Can't make out any detail on top of the cap though, that would help.

Top one, dunno, but I've found it on wood chips before.

Middle one, lets see one cut in two, to see his guts, and a spore print; front contender is an Armillaria.
skedone

first ones spore are black oval cant get size as microscope i have with measurement system is broke. but will upload a pic next week no access to them till then second one i will get the spore print and a cross section for you tomorrow cab on the other one the one that you think might be a dradel do they start of nearly cap free then? when the stems are that big
Motyka

Hiya Skedone! Great photos btw! Could the first shot possibly be of a Stropharia - considering they're growing on woodchips? Say, Aurantiaca? Just a thought!
skedone

yeah was thinking that too Now i found some in my old books
bubble

second one is Agrocybe cylindraecia,grows with poplar,willow,elder and rarely with a few other trees.It grows all the year round smells of matured cherry casks and is good to eat.
cab

Good call Bubble, but I'd like to see his innards and spore print before saying 100% (and A. cylindracea is one of the most common edibles here in Cambridge, so I'm very familiar with it).
