| | | Field mushroom that stains yellow when fried??
G'day mushroom lovers.
Sorry no photos of this one as it was about a month ago and I've only just discovered this site.....
All the hallmarks of a field mushroom. Did not stain yellow when cut and smelt absolutely normal.....Imagine my surprise when the cut surfaces went bright yellow when I fried it! I've never seen this before, so regretably it went into the bin.
Any clues anyone please? |

Hi TT,
could you give some details of this fungus: with gills or without, size, colour, smell, habitat etc.?
Regards, Martin |

"All the hallmarks of a field mushroom"
This was a young specimen, cap was about 8 cm diameter. Gills pale pink. Thought it may have been a horse mushroom, but cog pattern ring and no detectable aniseed smell. |

Sorry, I was not aware that "field mushroom" is the English name for Agaricus campestris. Smell during cooking was OK, too?

Anyway. Smell during cooking was fine.....
Previous post should have said No cog pattern ring. Sorry... |

Troy,
In case you didn't notice, Beamish lives in Germany, as does at least one other regular contributor to this forum, so he is unfamiliar with English common names for fungi. That's one of several reasons why, if known, it's always best to include the Latin name when mentioning a species here.  If you don't know the Latin name, a Google of the common name should supply it quickly.

No promblems, I didn't feel offended at all!
But be sure, you will be confronted with my limited knowledge of your language again and again. 
Cheers, Martin |

Hi,
no excuses for ignorance of English common names in future: today arrived my copy of Collins complete guide....
Cheers,

I still think it's a good idea to always use the scientific name if possible - I personally am not a fan of the recent English names which I think in the long term will make it harder for newcomers - shall we make up English names for Fuchsia, Dahlia, Pelargonium, Skimmia, Eucalyptus, Forsythia, Cotoneaster, Sedum and a host of other garden plants . . . it would make life easier right?
but if in doubt call up the species using the FRDBI database - http://www.fieldmycology.net/FRDBI/FRDBI.asp
click on NBN Gateway map and the English name - if there is one will be shown . . .
