Well crafted video. I enjoyed all the close up mushroom footage. Definitely Amrillaria gallica and enoki, but that second one has me flummoxed and the third is certainly not deadly galerina. The swollen base and vase shaped and split caps of the second one are not anything I'm familiar with. Hard to identify at that late stage. Could be correct to call this adiposa group, but adiposa does not grow here and both aurivella and limonella that grow here in that group are inedible so probably not best practice to advertise its edibility. Could it even be a squarrosa? Those have a reputation for making people very sick especially when consumed with alcohol. The third one is just too pale, yellow, and not at all bell shaped to be deadly galerina it's likely a wood tuft in the genus kuehnermyces genus perhaps a sheathed woodtuft, but likely not false funeral bell as that is associated conifers. I could be wrong even the enokis look washed out and pale. Did you have a ton of rain prior to making this video? Anyway that's my two cents. I hope you found that helpful in some way.
Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful feedback, I appreciate you taking the time! It actually hadn't rained in a while leading up to the day of filming.
@@OutdoorAdventureandNatureStudy Interesting..good to see some mushroom content from the northern part of the state. I'm hoping to get up there at some point next year.
@MushroomJourneys-et9gk Thank you again for all the feedback. Finally had a chance to dig deeper into your comments. I really do appreciate them and they were helpful. Regarding the 2nd mushroom, indeed among that group of mushrooms adiposa grows in Asia, but I hadn't seen the consumption warnings for the ones that grow here (aurivella, limonella, squarrosa). Good for the viewers to know that! They are not deadly poisonous but there could be some intestinal agony involved. Like you say it's difficult to ID at such a late stage. And as for the 3rd, your points about the color and cap shape are certainly valid. There is an interesting discussion about Kuehneromyces here: www.mushroomexpert.com/kuehneromyces_mutabilis.html. I leaned toward the Galerina marginata ID based on the absence of scales, and the abundance of inaturalist IDs in the area which superficially resembled the patch I found. I figured the atypical cap shape and color had to do with the abnormally dry weather but they are certainly problematic. Your points are well taken. Regardless, anything that close to being Galerina should be treated with caution! BTW, I viewed several of your videos and they deserve more views! Lots of great details not found in other mushroom related content.
@@OutdoorAdventureandNatureStudy Thanks. I always enjoy a good mushroom discussion! I have been second guessing my criticism of the funeral bell ID, wondering if perhaps the vagaries video may have made them appear lighter than they were in actuality. Also, perhaps the location as you were in a completely ecological zone than the one I'm familiar with, but something told me that that wasn't right. Again I could be wrong. There are definitely some lighter colored photos of them on inaturalist, but those photos can't be trusted unless they are research grade. Inaturalist is my first goto for photos, frequency, and distribution, but info is usually wikipedia based. Mushroomexpert is a great resource, thanks for the link, I trust Michael Kuo more than any other regarding mushrooms of the midwest, but it's too bad he does not venture into edibility or medicinality on that site. I have his mushrooms of the midwest book which is useful and does touch on those aspects a bit. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
