Mycorrhaphium Adjustum fungi growing on a tree.

Mycorrhaphium Adjustum

In mid-March country singer Blake Shelton was on a hike and found a Lions Mane mushroom which he fried and ate. Do not try this at home unless you know what you’re doing. Mycorrhaphium Adjustum can be found in summer and fall on the sticks and small logs of hardwoods in eastern North America, and is easily recognized by the teeth on its underside, the pale cap with a blackish margin, and the gray to black bruising reactions of the cap and underside.The most common questions that come up with this mushroom is: “Is Mycorrhaphium Adjustum safe?” and “Is Mycorrhaphium Adjustum edible?” The answer to both is no.

  • Cortinarius Iodes

    We believe these are Cortinarius Iodes, though they could also be Cortinarius Iodeiodes. The two can be differentiated by whether the taste of the slime on the cap is bitter and/or by spore size.
