Caps of Plums and Custard mushrooms (Tricholomopsis rutilans) on Caney Creek Trail (Little Lake Creek Loop Trail) in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery. Texas

🎞️ #2688-22

The image presents a close-up view of three Plums and Custard mushrooms (Tricholomopsis rutilans), showcasing their caps as they grow on a tree trunk or log. The mushroom caps are characterized by their flat tops and slightly rounded edges, measuring approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. The caps feature a smooth texture and display shades of orange-brown to light brown, with the cap surface exhibiting tiny pores that can be seen under magnification.

A notable feature of these mushrooms is the presence of a reddish-brown "safety zone" at their center, which serves as a visual warning against consuming them. This safety zone is likely a result of the mushroom's toxicity and should not be mistaken for an edible part of the fungus.

In terms of growth habits, Plums and Custard mushrooms often grow in clusters or groups on trees, stumps, logs, or other decaying wood. The caps are usually attached to the substrate via a short stem (stipe), which is typically white, cream-colored, or light brown. The stipes may be slightly thicker at the base than at the top and can range from 1/4 to 3/4 inch in diameter.

Plums and Custard mushrooms are commonly found in association with coniferous trees, particularly pine species, although they can also occur on deciduous trees or other wood substrates. They typically fruit throughout the year but are most abundant during spring and fall.

It is essential to exercise caution when handling these mushrooms, as their toxicity can cause adverse reactions if ingested. It is recommended to leave them undisturbed in their natural habitat to minimize potential harm. – AI vision

Sombreros de setas Plums y Custard (Tricholomopsis rutilans) en el Camino del Arroyo Caney (Bucle del Arroyo Pequeño Lago) en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston al norte de Montgomery. Texas, 18 de abril de 2020. La imagen presenta una vista detallada de tres sombreros de setas Plums y Custard (Tricholomopsis rutilans), mostrando sus sombreros mientras crecen en un tronco o en un tronco. Los sombreros se caracterizan por sus partes superiores planas y bordes ligeramente redondeados, midiendo aproximadamente 2-3 pulgadas de diámetro. Los sombreros presentan una textura suave y muestran tonos de naranja pardo a marrón claro, con la superficie del sombrero que presenta poros pequeños que pueden observarse bajo ampliación. Una característica notable de estas setas es la presencia de una "zona de seguridad" marrón rojizo en el centro, que sirve como una advertencia visual contra su consumo. Esta zona de seguridad es probablemente un resultado de la toxicidad de las setas y no debe confundirse con una parte comestible del hongo. En términos de hábitats de crecimiento, las setas Plums y Custard a menudo crecen en racimos o grupos en árboles, troncos, maderas podridas u otros sustratos en descomposición. Los sombreros generalmente están unidos al sustrato mediante un tallo corto (tallo), que es típicamente blanco, crema o marrón claro. Los tallos son ligeramente más gruesos en la base que en la parte superior y pueden medir de 1/4 a 3/4 pulgada de diámetro. Las setas Plums y Custard se encuentran comúnmente asociadas con árboles coníferos, particularmente especies de pino, aunque también pueden ocurrir en árboles de hoja caduca u otros sustratos de madera. Generalmente frutan durante todo el año, pero son más abundantes en primavera y otoño. Es esencial tener cuidado al manejar estas setas, ya que su toxicidad puede causar reacciones adversas si se ingieren. Se recomienda dejar que las setas crezcan en su hábitat natural para minimizar cualquier daño potencial. – Spanish translation
