They do smell of apricots, but I also read that False Chantrelles can smell fruity too, so I'm not ready to take the plunge and commit to them. They are growing in clumps, in patches (large patches) in open-ish clearings in coniferous forest at about 9000'.

Thank you!]]> Hanna Mushrooms & Fungi Wed, 27 Jul 2011 18:52:10 -0700 http://www.coloradoplants.org/board/read.php?5,514,514#msg-514 http://www.coloradoplants.org/board/read.php?5,514,514#msg-514 We went foraging today to lost creek wilderness. I am kinda new to it, I grew up picking mushrooms in Europe. Today was my very first trip in Colorado. I was pretty upset after walking around for about an hour. It seems like there should be mushrooms everywhere with all the rain and hot weather we have been having. My hubby came across a large colony of LBM's that definitely looked poisonous, however I figured we should pick everything we see so I can learn different species hat grow here.
Please help me identify these little guys.

Hello my fellow Mycophiles, I'm new to this forum and planning my first adventure to Telluride in August and was wondering if anyone on here would be going, as well as any info about the area. I'm originally from Canada but live in Duvall WA . My field of study is Mycology , I teach, forage , cook and love all things Fungi. My research is in the nutritional and medicinal use of fungi in our everyday lives.

I would love to hear anything you'd like to share about Telluride and Colorado for that matter. From what I'm seeing and learning already , I'm so very much looking forward to this adventure.

Thanks for reading

Peace, Love and Mushrooms

Thanks for the help! I'm not a mushroom eater, so harvesting it isn't a question. I just want to know what it is. :)

- Beth]]> BethMit Mushrooms & Fungi Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:30:50 -0700 http://www.coloradoplants.org/board/read.php?5,486,486#msg-486 http://www.coloradoplants.org/board/read.php?5,486,486#msg-486 I was out looking for meadow mushrooms that I found there last year when I came across these.
What was interesting is a couple of people came by and asked me if I found any mushrooms. I said yes but I didn't know what there are. They looked at them and said Yeah thats what were picking, we have been eating these all our lives. I said good what are they??? They said "I don't know". I spoke to several people that harvest this mushroom but no one knows what they are. I looked in my different books, used keys, I still can't identify it.
The gills are close together some short some long. The gills look like there attached near the top of the stem. There is no ring around the stem. Spore print is white/cream collored. I have often found them under the sage brush. The caps are not always cracked like the one in the photo.
As the caps get bigger they get more flat, and grow to about 4" wide.
Any one have any idea what this is???
Thanks in advance.]]> Wyhunter Mushrooms & Fungi Mon, 01 Aug 2011 22:38:22 -0700 http://www.coloradoplants.org/board/read.php?5,482,482#msg-482 http://www.coloradoplants.org/board/read.php?5,482,482#msg-482 Could someone please help identify this mushroom? They grow in our backyard every year (grassy lawn). Cap is approx 8cm in diamter and the stem is around 2.3cm
They smell good but no way I'll try eating it until I know for sure what it is.

This will be another great way to share what we are finding out there in real-time. Anyone will be able to post pictures and messages to the Wall. I think this will be a great way to communicate during the season and get more of us involved.
