Mushroom Under Pine Trees.

[punkin]

Just out of interest, New England Area of NSW, saw a fair few of these today, and don't know what they are...

It neither looks nor smells like anything i'd eat. Very strong earthy mushroom smell, dry with a dark gold honeycombed gill structure. Growing under small Pine trees in turf.

I'm sure it's an easy one for y'all , but i'm only in the first stage of noticing this kinda stuff

a type of boletus. very common in pine plantations. shouldn't be too hard to work out by googling boletus, (maybe using the image search function).

I could be wrong though.

[solomon]

looks like a boletus to me.

no gills, just holes.

[Max Cady]

ask your local polish club for an ID they eat something very similar

[Zen Peddler]

It aint a slippery jack which is the edible mushroom found under pinus radiata with pores rather than spores. Milky caps rock as well.

Thanks people, i tied the image search and it could one of quite a few. Eumycota being one of the ones that seems to match the colour of the gills.

As i said, certainly smells too strong for me to try

Mushroom poisoning isn't much fun. Always be 110% sure of things.

Boletes (fleshy pore fungi)

Phlebopus Marginatus Spores Olive-Brown (magnification x 1/3)

Mycological characteristics

pores on hymenium

cap is convex

hymenium is seceding

stipe is bare

spore print is brown

Maybe... Seems to small to be that? maybe just a baby??

Are you currently taken a spore print?

No. I'm currently leaving it on the back table to rot as i haven't got around to throwing it out yet.

I could take one from another fruitbody if you'd like me to?

The fruitbody is about as large as the palm of my hand.
