Common Name:
Tells: Yellow baby pores age to dark red, then fade through orange to light brown. Often smells fetid or funky (oniony ammonia, stinky feet, old cheese, etc.)
Other Information: Yellow flesh may stain blue (slowing in age) but does not have to. Stem is yellow on top, but gets redder going down w/tiny red dots but only occasional red/brown netting. Stem pinches in by the base. Likes oak but not exclusively. Bright red baby cap ages through dull red, rust, pink, orange, yellowish or brown. Cap may crack a bit in age. Cap flesh can be a paler yellow than stem flesh. Thin pore layer. Originally viewed as a rare southern species, confirmed finds have now been made in several parts of the upper midwest, including Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin!
Science Information: DNA work has moved this species to the genus Lanmaoa. Note that finds have been made across a broad area, but are still rare. Expect the geographic filters to expand over time.
Edibility: Unknown. But if it smells bad, why bother?
CHEMICAL TESTS:
- NH4OH (Ammonia): No data.
- KOH: No data.
- FeSO4 (Iron Salts): No data.
