Rare but you definitely see pelicans from time to time in natural areas of NY. Not a zoo escapee, but wild. Pelicans may wander widely from their usual habitat. You'd be surprised what shows up in NY as it is located in the Atlantic Flyway, a major migration route for birds of the Americas.

Hi Gary, the overnight spore prints are coming out a light beige color, I guess what is referred to as "buff". Is there a spore print color chart in existence somewhere? I will leave it sporing for the day and see what color I get with more time. though the lilac is fading from the mushrooms, the flesh is tinged purple, there are NO cobwebbiness on these, no ring, and there is a buttery fragrant smell to them.

A sorta neutral color, buff or cream maybe, with adnexed or notched attached gills (I think). They're so sandy, hard to tell. They gave off white spores. Stems are hard, kinda short, the caps sit low to the sand and they all have that darkened center. There are tons of them in Breezy Point, Qns. I'm bringing a bunch tonight.

Hi Gary, I'll bring these in tonight. They're no longer as lovely as those pictured above, a deep brick-red color. The ones in the field are now pretty faded but they have that pit depression in the center, a white mycelium base, round spores instead of elliptical (my first try looking at spores so not totally sure), and growing beneath pines. So I'm leaning towards Laccaria laccata too.

Hi Ethan, good to meet you the other evening! Yes, this is the same one, or at least another one that's popping out in the same cluster. it looks like it is shaping up to be a false chanterelle however, I'm starting to get a good look at the forkiness of the gills and we'll see what the spore print produces in the morning. I'll keep you posted!
