RE: First Encounter With Mushrooms
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Boletus subtomentosus, I know this mushroom more or less well! It indeed looks very similar to the one you found... It has such distinctive features: the cap is rough, velvety by the touch. And the most important: the stem and cap, when cut, turn very fancy blue color, within a few seconds! I will now search and find a suitable photo from my folders.
definitely a bolete of some kind and if you found them under conifers
I am more then sure, this is a nice detail: 'under conifers '. Suillus sp. are very fond of conifers, we have them growing there, and always pick them up under pines. I am more then sure it is one of this family, Suillus sp. I cant name exactly which one. But all of them are edible, as far as I know. Oh, and look: in several photos the cap looks glossy, shiny, sticky - these are the distinctive features of Suillus sp. And besides, it would be nice to examine younger mushrooms at the beginning of their lifecycle - in this case, the edge of the cap is pressed to the stem with a film, it looks very characteristic and indicates Suillus.
oh, and warmly welcome to the Fungi Lovers community. Your awesome post deserves a good rewarding, as we are part of #OCD Incubating Program, I will nominate your post for the support.
Hope there will be much more happy and intresting finds in the future.
PPS. You are living by the southern sea - I am so jealous for you!
They were shiny, indeed. I haven't touched them, neither cut them to see if they turn into blue. Maybe if we go next time there, I will take a cutter with me and check it out.
Thank you 💞
I hope as well, but definitely not in the place where we live. But up, in the mountains by the lake, probably there are more of them.
I saw one in this "condition", is it the same type?
mushrooms are ephemera, they do not wait so long :P
especially when the climate is wet..
in dry conditions, well, then they stay longer..
this is how the cut look like changing cover to blue:
Haha, so these are not going to wait for me 😅 but maybe some new ones will grow.
I was freezing there 😂 so, there are two options, or better clothing or wait until spring 😁
better clothing is a better option, me thinks. mot shrooms will not pop up in the spring - the most season will be from mid-summer till autumn
cant say for sure, but seems so.
Thank you @qwerrie that you nominated my post 💝 the support came 🤩
P.S. me, looking for winter clothes to go again to the mountains 😂😂😂
