soul-searching Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Great day to all, I found these growing around my yard. First thing i noticed when they were healthy (3 days ago), they felt like a cross between leather and rubber, gave it a pinch but no blueing. today i went outside and now i'm a little curious as they were blue on the edges? any ideas? Here's another i found near by?? Edited June 23, 2006 by soul-searching Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alkatrope Posted June 23, 2006 They look kinda like Subs.. But from those photos it's hard to tell. The gills in the second photo look a bit light, also.. Do some spore prints and maybe submit some photos from different angles.. Also check the smell, Subs have a fairly distinct smell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soul-searching Posted June 23, 2006 thanks alkatrope, so far, i have only taken prints of the third,.. here's some extra shots.. ..it smells ...well...i'm having trouble describing it, but i don't think i like the smell...trouble is..i have never smelt subs (or found them)..so i don't have much of a clue as yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alkatrope Posted June 23, 2006 Yeah I reckon it's a Sub, especially because of the blueing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soul-searching Posted June 24, 2006 cheers! yep, i think i may just buy a lotto ticket this week..lol.. my first sub find...and in my own yard! hehe. I am almost sure that these are growing in chipboard!..which also leaves me wandering about the chemicals used in chipboard. could they be absorbed into the mushroom?

soul-searching Posted June 25, 2006 yeah sorry guys....i guess i just wanted a second opinion.had to be sure . lol..totally understand, no apology needed. i think we both have a steep learning curve ahead if we wish to maintain a healthy patch..i know i do n'ways. id like to try to expand the patch a little, as mine don't seem to have much substrate around them. i was thinking of laying pine chips around the edges of the myc....lots to read about... best of luck with your patch frank..
