alice like shroom?

[planthelper]

hi!

maybe somebody can id this shroom for me, it grew on a bit of leaf litter, on top of a kaolin strata.

hard to say just looking at the cap and nothing else

but with just looking at the cap i'm gonna say maybe gymnopilus dilepis

i tried to take a pic of the underneath, but it turned out crap.

i've never seen anything like it in my area, so i didn't do a spore print.

thx myco!

Probably from Boletales.

From that pic, my best bet would be Boletellus emodensis. There are a few Boletellus sp. that look similar though. If you can, send me the spores and I will try and narrow it down futher. Also a photo of the pores and any staining that happens to it would be helpful.

Edit:

Also was it found in Eucalypt leaf litter?

Also could be Gymnopilus dilepsis after some research.

What domeboy said....if it stains deeeeeeep blue it's def Boleteus of some sort. Back I the day I did some research on it, turns out it was edible. Not saying that this one is though!!!

I'm going with Boletellus ananaeceps/Boletellus ananas/Boletellus emodensis.

next time i know what to do now and i will, take pollen and try a spore print without damage to the shroom. yes it's eucalyptus litter substrate, and i think (not sure though) it had gills.

i tend towards boletellus sp.

domboy, i like your correct display of latin names!!
