E. asprellum? Microscopy. Vouchered.
Microscopy. Vouchered.
At base of spruce with lots of hemlock around. Tastes of radish and smells mild to strong. One part got nibbled and the damaged tissue displayed impressive fluorescence under 365nm.
Growing into the bark of a yellow birch. Sterile conch also present on the tree. Poor crest extending about 6 to 8 ft up the tree under the bark. Lightly fluorescent with 365 nanometer
Blackened by an hour. Taste and smell mild. KoH negative on cap and flesh. Flesh and stem bruising reddish within 10-15 minutes and eventually turning black. Brown cap that are riddled with bugs and heavily eaten, even the youngest specimen. Slimy. Yellowish 365nm fluorescence. Under spruce. Birch also nearby. Maybe also Russula dissimulans
Rhododendron, spruce, birch area between Cabin 13 and Cabin 15
Stinky, foetid
On Stereum complicatum. Some photos are in cotton blue (it's pretty obvious which). Spores are minutely warty (verriculose), about 10-11 x 3.8-4µm.
Erumpent. Crumbly/fragile, especially near the top.
nearly 2cm across. The peridioles are nearly the size of the fruiting bodies of the Crucibulum laeve on the upper left...
No smell, no taste. Growing on a log under maple, sweetgum, silverbell, hemlock, sourwood. Texture slimy, with tough brain-like gleba. Chewed texture gristly, or like a raw vegetable.
On black birch by stream, seems different than previous birch growing species, gills darker, not certain if from spores.
I don't exactly remember the name of this one, but it looks familiar and habitat is familiar growing on birch.
i think this is witch’s butter but i can’t say for sure haha
