#mushroom identification

[mushroomidentifierbot]

Just so everyone is aware:

An international group of qualified mushroom identifiers who do worldwide identification in emergency cases have identified the Shroomers App as a potentially very dangerous system that could kill you if you try to use it to identify edible mushrooms. They use AI to generate almost all of their content, including their identification profiles on their app as well as their books and other materials. Not only is this unethical from a content creation standpoint, it is also extremely dangerous.

DO NOT USE APPS FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES BEYOND SIMPLE CURIOSITY. A MISTAKE WHEN IDENTIFYING AN EDIBLE COULD COST YOU YOUR LIFE. DO NOT EAT ANY FORAGED MUSHROOM YOU CANNOT IDENTIFY YOURSELF BY SIGHT OR HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN PERSON BY SOMEONE WHO CAN.

ONLY BUY BOOKS FROM REPUTABLE SOURCES AND AT THIS POINT THAT MEANS ASKING EXPERIENCED PEOPLE WHAT BOOKS THEY USE.

Mushrooms are fun, amazing organisms. Enjoy safely.

Two different species of Lentinus found in the park this morning.

Spring polypore 》 Lentinus arcularius (images 1-5)

Fringed sawgill 》 Lentinus crinitus (images 6-10)

This was my first encounter with a pored Lentinus, very exciting!

Found on Facebook with below text/links. Looks useful!

Hello! I present you the now English translated version of the V3 of the European Boletes Species Chart! A chart listing and illustrating all European boletes species!

See it in HD and download it in the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WosZEAkjVVGTJxwn2lhqS02-RZAEjAaH/view?usp=drive_link

For those interested in getting it as a Poster, I'll be putting a link in the comments [I have Admin approval].

The post image is only a placeholder because Facebook cannot hold the HD version, which you will find in the drive link. If the link doesn't show you anything, it is because you have to connect with a Google account, it should work that way if you have difficulties with the link.

I need help to identify some mushrooms I found (and made spore prints of). I tried myself but got stuck.

I think I’ve been shadowbanned from the wildlife ID groups I’m in on Facebook because my recent posts (which follow group guidelines and are the same format as everyone else’s) have acquired no comments or reactions. I don’t know why.

Is there anyone on here who can try and help me identify some mushrooms if I send pictures?

UV reactive Cortinarius sp. from 2019. We tried to identify it but I'm not sure if we correctly identified it or if we ever will. I think the future of mycology texts is to include more notes on UV reactivity/fluorescence, which will definitely help!

Violet toothed polypores are so prettyyyy, especially growing alongside moss on this ol’ decaying log that’s recycling nutrients back into the forest floor!! :D

Not great pics (was on my way to an appointment so didn’t have time to take better ones) but spotted some mushrooms around my town today! If anyone can ID, it’d be appreciated.
