Help Identify this Mushroom
Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2016 10:37 am
I found this mushroom on dead poplar log out in the open. Smells good, which is my first test. Looked on the net, cant find anything that matches. Can anyone help identify please? Good to eat? Good to send the the ex to make soup out of? All suggestions received with pleasure and gratitude.
These two were the only firm ones, the rest were older and starting to get slimy. The flesh of this one is white right now, but older ones the flesh was a brown, similar to the bottom of the stem on the bigger one (see pic). Older ones not particularly slimy, but softer, flesh browning, not black. Brown spore print. Growing clean like a meadow mushroom, similar shape and veil coming off stem, not from a vulva like amanita. No vuvla flecks on cap.
