A text once limited to rare book rooms, collectors, or those with the disposable capital sufficient to purchase a personal copy (often on the order of $2500 per volume), is finally available with the desire to learn as the only requirement for access.

It's rather unusual regarding the scale or fibril distribution, but it's unusual habitat could easily account for that. As it is, L. procera or rachodes search will put you in the neighbourhood from which to make a more accurate ID.

It has appeared quite suddenly (within 15 minutes of a cars return to the house, for example), usually after or during rains.? Observed samples vary widely in size, but usually about a 1/4 cup which may be in one lump or spread out in quarter-sized bits.? We dried? a sample once and it shrinks to a rubber-like consistency--yet re-constitutes back to original gel when added to water.??? Have you heard of anything like this before?? We have no idea what it is, and are curious if it might be some sort of slime mold....(though one mycologist we asked was stumped..).?

There are a few cherry trees (a domestic and some wild prunus spp) on the site, but not within 50 meters of where the gel was found.? There are ash and cottonwood trees as well, but again not directly above where the cars are parked. The material has not been found under trees--always out in the open (and not associated with times when wind has gusted which might have blown it far rom the trees).? ? The substance is a bit more like Jello that hasn't quite set, as opposed to loose bits of material that hold together well. Gooey, and a mess when you apply windshield wipers to it, yet not at all resinous.? Thanks, Glenn --- On Mon, 11/24/08, J & J wrote: From: J & J Subject: Mystery Clear Gel: slime mold or what?

I am no expert, but the closest thing I could find in my identification book and online is the Green-spored Lepiota which when young can have white spores. It is apparently commonly mistaken for the Shaggy parasol and therefore one of the most common mushrooms involved in mushroom poisoning. Once again, I am not even close to being an expert, but I found one like it in my book and checked some stuff online and that was the closest I could find, the shaggy parasol or lepiota rachodes seems to be more of a buff or tan color, and it becomes pink or saffron when bruised.
