FOTD #133 : cinnamon cap! (hypholoma lateritium)
the cinnamon cap (also brick cap, chestnut mushroom, brick top, red woodlover or kuritake) is a mushroom-producing fungus in the family strophariaceae. it has been discovered in europe, the US & japan, but may even be more widespread :-)
the big question : can i bite it??
well, that depends !! in the US & japan, it is considered edible & choice. however, in europe is considered inedible - some even claiming it to be poisonous.
h. lateritium description :
"the cap is 3.5–10 cm in diameter, usually with a brick-red colouration in the centre and a paler margin. it is smooth, sometimes with red-brown flecks in the middle & sometimes with flaky veil remnants, which can easily be washed off in the rain, on the outside.
the gills are crowded, starting yellowish and becoming greyish with age.
the stipe is light yellow and darker below."

Winter mushrooming?
Okay, so winter is hitting me hard right about now as a mushroomer.
It’s almost February, and we’ve been getting hit with daily snow and temps well below freezing.
I have not been out much to find mushrooms.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t fungal activity, even now. During warmer thaws, there are still some chances to take in a variety of perennial polypores, crusts, lichen, and even occasional flushes of fleshy, gilled mushrooms.
Velvet foot, for example. Flammulina velutipes.
Their dark brown fuzzy stipes, creamy gills, white spore print, and flame like caps are distinctive, but beginners may still confuse them for deadly poisonous Galerina. So be very careful with these if you plan on cooking with them.
Mushrooms are great and all. But nobody needs to risk their lives over a pretty decent omelet. If you aren’t absolutely sure what you’ve got, do not eat it.
Brick caps, Hypholoma lateritium, are another delicious winter edible, but there are toxic Hypholoma cousins, so this is another one to be careful with.
But brick caps are out of season by now, as they come up only in early winter.
Amber jelly roll can be found throughout the winter though. Jelly fungi aren’t exactly the tastiest, but I’ve recently started drying, grinding and rehydrating them with blended fruit to make jam.
Over the next couple months, my fungi finds might not be as diverse as through warmer months, but I have no intention of staying indoors until Morel season.
Well, maybe for a bit longer. I’ve got enough amber jelly to last until the next thaw.

Stereum ostrea (false turkey tail)

Calvatia nipponica (and a rotting one I found)
Hypholoma lateritium (I'm not 100% on this)

Vederne uno, per vederli tutti! (25/09/2020; altitudine: 1400m)
Nome scientifico: Armillaria Ostoyae
Nome volgare: chiodino
Descrizione: nasce in autunno inoltrato, al primo accenno di clima fresco dopo metà settembre. Armillaria ostoyae vive sui tronchi di conifere, come parassita o saprotrofo lignicolo, in particolare sull'abete, perciò, almeno in Italia, si trova principalmente in alta montagna, dove scompare all'arrivo delle gelate.
Commestibilità: molto buona. Spesso eccessivamente snobbato rispetto all'Armillaria mellea che cresce su latifoglie tra pianura e ambiente pedemontano.
Precauzioni: la confusione più probabile è con Pholiota squarrosa, un fungo tossico. Altre confusioni, sebbene più improbabili, potrebbero essere con un Cortinarius orellanus (velenoso mortale tra i più pericolosi) cresciuto vicino a un tronco (magari raccolto e consumato assieme ai veri chiodini). I piccoli esemplari potrebbero essere scambiati per un gruppetto di Galerina marginata (altro velenoso mortale), che ama crescere cespitoso sul legno delle conifere. Altre confusioni con Hypholoma lateritium e Hypholoma fasciculare (tossici). Tuttavia, queste confusioni sono impossibili avendo maturato una buona abilità di osservazione critica.
