Keizer's Fungi Q & A.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Tony,

Did you count the number of pores, which for Coriolopsis species should be 1-2 per mm and perform the KOH test, which results in temporary blackening of the flesh for C. gallica and no blackening for C. trogii ? And though I think your identification is correct, to be 100 % sure of this being C. trogii : microscope (basidia, spores).

 

Ive got sample for kew identification for certainty, shall send it with the \gallica i have too. Just trying to dry them out a bit for posting.

 

They was certainly very different to the gallica i found, same foramtions but colour so different, just as you described. and matt has found it too this week!

How are you drying them Tony?

Tony,

Smell, taste, colour of spore print, FeSO4, phenol and/or guajac reaction, size and ornamentation of the spores (microscope) ?

like that is it!

 

Its time i got my head round the tech side, can you reccomend at least one good book that defines these methods?

Yes, but it is expensive and in German : F. Kränzlin (2006). Pilze der Schweiz. Band 6. Russulaceae. Milchlinge (= Lactarius : 82 species) & Täublinge (= Russula : 136 species).

Just looking on the "Rogers Mushrooms" website it looks very much like Russula roseipes.

Just looking on the "Rogers Mushrooms" website it looks very much like Russula roseipes.

 

with these russulas its just not practical to base it on images, theres so many and they are so similar.

 

thanks for trying though:thumbup:
