Don't worry. I have no intention of eating this. I just came across it and was curious.
Can anyone tell me what this is?

hmmmmm.......
Not sure.
You are in Ms. so I might not have it here.
Does it have pores or gills? What color spore print? What was it growing on? If on a tree, what kind of tree?
Maybe someone on here can tell you at first glance, but not me.
It was growing on the ground beside a popcorn tree with some oak and pine nearby. It didn't have gills.
Huh. No clue.Quote:

The gators use the popcorn as bait.
Looks to me like some type of "shelf fungus." Do a Google image search for "shelf fungus" and you may find it there.

I was thinking it looked a bit like dye makers polypore but that is a fall mushroom I think. I'll have to keep looking I guess.
Canid is a fungus guru of sorts. Hopefully he will check in and give a response.
Wow. To be known as a fungus guru. I can only dream.
Looks like an Oyster Fungus; Were the tops Blue/Blue Grey?
It usually grows on Trees, as a shelf fungus.
Pieurotus Ostreatus: (Oyster Fungus)
Grows in clumps with deep blue grey shelf shaped caps. 2 1/2" - 5 3/4" wide
White gills and white rubbery flesh.
On Broad-Leaved trees for most of the year.
Tasty Slice and stew. Also dries well.
Stolen from the SAS Survival Guide by John 'Lofty' Wiseman
P162 - 163
He also makes a good novice rule of thumb on one of his You-Tube videos.
When Shrooming if the fungus grows above your waist on a tree it's OK.
If it grows on the ground, leave it.
I know nothing about mushrooms, but the closest I could find is Trametes versicolor.
The shroom was meaty and shredded. The top was bluish gray.
As for the popcorn trees... they may well be produce real popcorn, but those darn gators won't let me get close.
Well folks, I may not know this mushroom, but two mushrooms it definitely is not, is the oyster (pleurotus ostreatus) wich has gills and grows on trees and doesn't look like the mushroom in the photo, and Trametes versicolor (turkey tail) wich is thin and leathery. Where is that Canid person? I want to meet him (her) :)
It looks like fungus or a mushroom.
???????????:dots::dots::confused1:
See? She knows. What's so tough about that? Nice job CD.
First of all; this certainly looks to be a polypore. does the underside appear to the naked eye to be smooth, or to be a surface composed of small to minuscule pores?
describe to me the size of these pores if you can. describe or take a photo of the edges of the caps. describe the texture. damage the flesh of the underside near the edge of one of the caps. observe any color change that occurs within an hour. describe the scent.
they look like a good candidate for immature Grifola frondosa. This is not yet and identification.
they look to be a can
also; i don't know where you guys are getting this notion that P. oystreatus is blue. that mushroom has a cap which is brown to grey brown, or occasionally pale reddish brown, generally becomming paler as it matures. there may have been some collections with a blue-grey or purplish-grey hue (e.g. the collection isolated for the famous 'blue oyster' strain popular among cultivators), but this is not to my knowledge common in any locality.
Canid! glad you showed up :)Quote:

The oak nearby would be the typical substrate for that mushroom however.
As far as bluish oysters go, I find them quite frequently here. They are certainly a different variety from the more common grey/brown ones but most guides tend to lump them all together into P. oystreatus. The blue variety, as you say, may very well be the escaped cultivated variety. We call it "Blue pearl oyster" around here. It grows only on dead maple in the fall. But then I am about three thousand miles away from you. If you ever find it, I think you'll enjoy it. It is my wifes favorite :)
Always a pleasure to meet a fellow enthusiast. Be well, mark
The underside appeared smooth. It was thick and when damaged tended to shred rather than break. I don't have access to it any longer to check for more than I can remember.
That is awesome. I would love to find some.
mwshadow: I'm not sure what it is. I am sure it's not a Pleurotus, and I'm sure it's not Phaelous schweinitzii. I do however think that G. frondosa is the best candidate I know of. Meripulus sumstinei is fairly similar, but tends to have yellow-cream hues before it ages and bruises black where damaged.
If you ever come across it again, I'd love it if you'd let us know.
