jdmidwest Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Took some pics of the mushrooms sprouting up all over my yard. Pulled out my MO Mushroom book and still can't really get a positive id on any of them except for the poison red one and the turkey tails on a stump. Pretty sure the red one is a Russla. The bolete is a pored mushroom, but I think it is the bitter one. Have no idea what the grey ones are but they have gills and are pretty tough. The boletes are all over under the white pines along with the others. They seem to follow a line like they are symbiotic with the tree roots.

Gavin Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 The bolete looks like a sullius. Do the have a sticky/ slimy caps. I'd pass. Think you are spot on with the other two. Nothing worth eating IMO. Hens might fire after this weeks rain. Hoping they do .
jdmidwest Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Its sticky and slimy, bruises easy and makes a nasty mess as it breaks down in the yard. Any ideas what the tan one is with the gills?

Gavin Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 The bolete sounds like Sullius...maybe edible...but not worth the bother...the tan one...might be a Milky Cap (Lactarius sp)...does it ooze a latex like substance when you damage one? Some milky's will make you sick...some are good eats...Might try over on the Missouri Mycology Society's facebook page.
