I know I should post a spore print along with these pictures, but Im not sure if its worth it. I dont have the time anyways and Id hate to spore print something for 24 hours only to find out its not anything special. If somebody could let me know what these might be and if I should take a spore print, that would be awesome. Sorry for the blurry picture only have a phone camera.



Habitat: Found growing on top of leaves and dark wood chips I believe.
Gills: Light tan
Stem: White.
Cap: Hazel nut middle with tan outside.
Spore print: N/a yet
Bruising: Not sure how to bruise a mushroom 
Location: Forest between Issaquah WA and Bellevue WA

You think that's what it is? They don't really match the pictures or description o.o

Well holy crap that's pretty much all I saw out there in the forest besides a few deadly looking ones. So what should I do with all of them?

Take pictures of them and make them famous by posting them on the internet.

Just for the future if I do run into the right type how do you bruise it? I've pushed on the stem of these pretty hard and nothing has happened :/

That is a great way to bruise them. Picking them also bruises them.

I just figured I'd show you all the rest of my findings. I may have not found anything good but at least I know what to expect out there. Do you have to go DEEP into the flora to find good mushrooms? I just went off the trails a bit, but not into the forest for fear of not returning :p
