Fungi around the House

[David Humphries]

Are they the edible ones?

 

If these are Boletus versicolor, then Roger Phillips has thm listed as "edible but not good"

 

I shan't be getting the frying pan on and breaking my fast on the morrow

'Edible but not good' maybe best to leave them then.

 

Although 'if' I thought you would be right on to what they are not 'if', have you used the fungi directory above?

Interesting one here.

 

Although not technically my gaff, it's next door

 

Amanita muscaria from last autumn at the foot of Cedar.

Last autumn I posted this association as being ectomycorrhizal with the Cedar, having been what I thought at the time as being a first (for me) recording of the two together.

 

Having now digested Gerrits' list of ecto & endomycorrhizal tree species specific associates. I found the need to revisit this combo and look at the 'wider' picture.

 

The nearest trees to the Cedar within a radius of 20+ meters are the endomycorrhizal Aesculus, Fagus & Taxus.

So the only potential candidate must be the Quercus from across the road & on the other side of the trunk from where the Amanitas' where fruiting.

 

If this is so, I deem it remarkable that the fruitbodies can pop up so far & so easily through/under the barrier of the main road which is heavily compacted (20+ school coaches & parents cars daily).

 

Remarkable indeed !

But don't you just love google maps for ease of explaining locality!

David, Ive seen muscaria in association with cedar, and not one or too i mean a swarm under a cedar with no trees to speak of near by. what makes you look to another for the association, i had taken it as a normal association?
