Last post by snowman3645 - October 04, 2013, 11:17:35 AMyeah I didnt think this board wouldn't support HTML. it would have all been right there... if you open all the links for each cluster of photos at one time it makes it much easier to see all of them together. a little extra clicking, but I wanted to be as detailed as possible..

Last post by fmrc - October 04, 2013, 06:40:03 AMIf maybe there were only 1 or 2 pictures. Dang, I don't have time to look at all those. When too many pictures are posted, its hard to keep posts up with "which pictures". Here is some good advice. Stay away from the shroomery. You should be in good hands here. slp/fmrc

Last post by snowman3645 - October 04, 2013, 12:58:30 AMI am really hopeful for this one turning out. 1. because it looks cool and 2. because there were a ton of them in the woods. all the pictures for the next few mushrooms are back in the thick brush areas. lots of leaves, very wet mud, fallen logs, not much of a trail to speak of.

These were never in direct sunlight and in a much more moist area than the others out in the lawn. don't know if that would explain the different in color or if this is just a different strain all together.
So as i walked through the woods i was looking very intently and thought to myself "I dont see anything on these logs over here...walked away...then thought buuuuuut what about UNDER?!" turned around and bam, found this little guy. Nobody knows me like me, right?

This guy was quite prevalent growing out of piles of leaves or under ferns, average size was about the width of a dollar bill.

I only found a few of these. pretty different from the rest. really thick, hollow stock and real tacky dark cap.

These were kind of an anomaly, sooo tiny. little bright yellow dots. growing mostly off of mossy logs.

alright, now i am out of the woods, across the street and there is a big area where my neighbor and his friends dump all their horse crap, which is mixed with wood shavings. partially shaded. lots of moisture. this gross looking black/grey ball about 1cm across that is covered is white hair is popping out.

walking further down a gravel road with 6-10inch tall grass on either side, I see this little guy. bright yellow. very slimy.

alright so those are all the pictures I have from my hunt today. I have samples of everything sitting on paper overnight. I will have spore prints tomorrow. In the mean time, ask me any questions you may have or if you think you know it shout it out!!! I'm not going to eat anything anytime soon so don't be shy. I'm not gonna die on your word alone.
Thanks so much for looking and like I said, if anyone could forward just a link of this to shroomery, I would very much appreciate it.

This guy was quite prevalent growing out of piles of leaves or under ferns, average size was about the width of a dollar bill.

I only found a few of these. pretty different from the rest. really thick, hollow stock and real tacky dark cap.

These were kind of an anomaly, sooo tiny. little bright yellow dots. growing mostly off of mossy logs.

These were Under a large pine tree, relatively dry. lots of twigs and dry moss. no leaves. little soil. mostly layers and layers of small sticks and dead brush.
one lonesome white cap. can you see it???

alright, now i am out of the woods, across the street and there is a big area where my neighbor and his friends dump all their horse crap, which is mixed with wood shavings. partially shaded. lots of moisture. this gross looking black/grey ball about 1cm across that is covered is white hair is popping out.

walking further down a gravel road with 6-10inch tall grass on either side, I see this little guy. bright yellow. very slimy.

alright so those are all the pictures I have from my hunt today. I have samples of everything sitting on paper overnight. I will have spore prints tomorrow. In the mean time, ask me any questions you may have or if you think you know it shout it out!!! I'm not going to eat anything anytime soon so don't be shy. I'm not gonna die on your word alone.
Thanks so much for looking and like I said, if anyone could forward just a link of this to shroomery, I would very much appreciate it.

Last post by snowman3645 - October 04, 2013, 12:57:13 AMHello!!!
First time poster here. I'll be honest. for some reason shroomery.org wont let me create an account. saying something about how other people in my area have been abusing the site so now no one can make an account. FACK. they directed me towards this site and after reading through a few posts and seeing the lack of valid responses to posts...sorry guys. this forum seems dead. the stickys and tutorials are obviously very helpful but I'm not sure about current conversation.... so if anyone who has an account can link my post here to a thread on shroomery I would be very greatful:-)
I live in snohomish washington, about 30 miles north of seattle and 20 miles inland from the water. My home is on a couple acres of heavily wooded area and after reading up on mushrooms and going to a few farmers markets i decided to go mushroom hunting! Yes I am mainly looking for active mushrooms...but i do like to cook a lot so if anything i have here would go well in some risoto or on a burger, let me know!
I am in the process of getting spore prints of everything pictured here so i will update with that hopefully tomorrow or the day after. All the photos were taken with my galaxy S3.
here are a few i found growing out of my raised beds in my garden. fresh compost that was put in this summer:

the stems are thin and hollow, the caps were very smooth and a little slimy.
later on i found these EVERYWHERE... i have the feeling they aren't anything, but couldn't resist the chance to take photos.
here are a few more examples of these:

On these the stem was thicker, a little fuzzy as you saw, the caps were still a bit slimy but not as translucent. I didn't notice any blue bruising on anything I picked today...BTW.
This in more a curiosity just to see if it is edible. Big mo-fo

similar to a shitake or portabello. looked yummy
These also looked like little trumpet mushrooms or something, purely culinary interests here:

as you can see these were growing in a mossy lawn. most were quite small, smaller than a dime. but i found a few good sized caps.
I believe these are the same strain as the first pictures I put up, but they are 50 times the size...different strain?

Now here is something new. Darker brown caps, looked fuzzy as appose to the smooth slippery caps of the others.

Now we are switching places, my neighbors yard, under an evergreen. The soil was a bit bare and rocky.

These caps also looked a bit fuzzy, but were quite moist. so was the grass...so whatever...
First time poster here. I'll be honest. for some reason shroomery.org wont let me create an account. saying something about how other people in my area have been abusing the site so now no one can make an account. FACK. they directed me towards this site and after reading through a few posts and seeing the lack of valid responses to posts...sorry guys. this forum seems dead. the stickys and tutorials are obviously very helpful but I'm not sure about current conversation.... so if anyone who has an account can link my post here to a thread on shroomery I would be very greatful:-)
I live in snohomish washington, about 30 miles north of seattle and 20 miles inland from the water. My home is on a couple acres of heavily wooded area and after reading up on mushrooms and going to a few farmers markets i decided to go mushroom hunting! Yes I am mainly looking for active mushrooms...but i do like to cook a lot so if anything i have here would go well in some risoto or on a burger, let me know!
I am in the process of getting spore prints of everything pictured here so i will update with that hopefully tomorrow or the day after. All the photos were taken with my galaxy S3.
here are a few i found growing out of my raised beds in my garden. fresh compost that was put in this summer:

the stems are thin and hollow, the caps were very smooth and a little slimy.
later on i found these EVERYWHERE... i have the feeling they aren't anything, but couldn't resist the chance to take photos.
here are a few more examples of these:

I believe this is the same type as the others above but just a thicker, bigger product

On these the stem was thicker, a little fuzzy as you saw, the caps were still a bit slimy but not as translucent. I didn't notice any blue bruising on anything I picked today...BTW.
This in more a curiosity just to see if it is edible. Big mo-fo

similar to a shitake or portabello. looked yummy
These also looked like little trumpet mushrooms or something, purely culinary interests here:

as you can see these were growing in a mossy lawn. most were quite small, smaller than a dime. but i found a few good sized caps.
I believe these are the same strain as the first pictures I put up, but they are 50 times the size...different strain?

Now here is something new. Darker brown caps, looked fuzzy as appose to the smooth slippery caps of the others.

Last post by Myco_Mandy - October 01, 2013, 08:24:50 PMHello there,
I've collected Gypsy Mushrooms in Europe, but never in the PNW. These were found today near Mount Rainier in Western WA, growing in a conifer forest. I'm fairly certain of my identification, though would like you guys to have a look at this and confirm or deny.
Thanks,

PF - Tek / Re: Culture jar colonization?
Last post by drfloyd - September 26, 2013, 04:18:25 PMWhat I've seen is to wait until the entire cake is colonized, then wait 2 days, THEN birth your cakes. If you leave uncolonized parts of your cake exposed, they could get contaminated by the green stuff and ruin everything in your fruiting chamber. My understanding of mushrooms of all types is they will put out chemicals that will inhibit growth of other organisms so if there is nothing exposed to colonize, then your cake is safe to birth.

PF - Tek / Re: Contaminated Jars - ANY po...
Last post by drfloyd - September 26, 2013, 04:14:52 PMYou could theoretically leave the jars as they are and pressure cook them which would kill everything in them and then reinoculate them dead mold and all. That said, just clean them really well, don't even need to sterilize them at this point. AFTER you put your rice/vermiculite or barley or rye seed in them, THEN you sterilize them. Sterilizing before you put your grow mixture in is a waste of time and resources. The pressure cooker is very important, don't just boil them, there are organisms that can live in boiling water, especially at high altitudes. At 7000 ft, water boils at 87˚C/189˚F which makes the problem worse. The combination of heat and pressure is why we can preserve foods and have them last for years in the basement.
That said, I had some VERY old spore syringes (10 years) that I just resurrected from my garage to try growing again. The liquid was mostly dried up so... I cleaned my work area really well with bleach 1:10 in addition to the outside of my syringes, then just soaked my syringe parts in some boiled, cooled water, stirred it up and inoculated 6 jars with the liquid. After a week, there was plenty of the green and yellow mold growing inside, but each of the jars had some wonderful but small spots of just white. I prepped 6 jars with barley & water, sterilized them (which also cooks the barley), then one at a time opened my contaminated jars, dumped them in my shower as if I was birthing a cake (in the shower so I could just rinse it later). I carried them carefully to my sterile work area to not stir up the green spores and carefully clipped JUST a small bit (1-2 mm dia) of JUST the white mycelium, opened a barley jar and quickly put the white bit in. I very carefully stayed as far away from the green areas as possible. I put the lid on, shook like crazy. That was 2 days ago and all of the jars are showing good colonization, one of them I had trouble breaking the lump up it is growing so well. No sign of any contamination in any of the jars so far.
