Hey everyone. Im not trying to ID actives or anything, though that would be cool if some were, and also that would be nice to know.
Im still waiting for all the spore prints, as I just picked these mushrooms a little bit ago. Mainly I just want to know what kind of mushrooms grow around my place.
Mushroom 1:
Habitat: Next to my pile of dead wood for burning, but growing from the grass. United States,Michigan, average temperature 50s.
Gills: Umm... Its like a sponge, I dont know if thats gills per say, but, you can see it on the picture. Attached
Stem: About an inch long, Yellow with some brown, I think the brown is just a dead layer of stem though. Its solid and thick, holding a lot of moisture.
Cap: Diameter is about 4 inches, Yellow cap, Smooth, I think convex (someone tell me the difference between convex and concave?)
Spore print: Waiting
Bruising: Idk how long it takes to be bruised, but so far none.
Other: After touching the stem and gills, its leaves like a sticky substance.
Mushroom 2:
Habitat: On my pile of dead wood, growing from a dead stump coming out of dead bark (Let me know if you want me to explain this better). United States,Michigan, average temperature 50s.
Gills: White, attached to what? the stem? Yes they are attached to the stem.
Stem: About 3 inches, diameter: an inch about, solid with some hollow spots, thick.
Cap: Diameter: about 4-5 inches, a light brownish color, conical? I cant tell sort of both, convex
Spore print: Waiting
Bruising: I cant really tell, its scatered, brusing goes from brownish,greenish, to bluish.
Other: Very earthy smell.
Mushroom 3:
Habitat: Right next to a dieing tree, literally almost touching. But growing from the ground. United States,Michigan, average temperature 50s.
Gills: Not attached to stem. White.
Stem: About 2 inches, Diameter: half an inch. Solid, thickish, not too thick, not too thin.
Cap: About 3 inches in diameter. Like a very light brown, that gets darker at spots. Smooth. Spherical I guess, convex.
Spore print: Waiting
Bruising: If it bruises, so far none.
Other: Smells is very mushroomy.
Mushroom 4:
Habitat: Just growing from my soil in my yard. United States,Michigan, average temperature 50s.
Gills: Not attached to stem, white.
Stem: About 2 inches in length, not even half an inch in diameter, white stem, hollow for the most part, not too thick, not too thin.
Cap: Very light brown. 3 inches in diameter, texture is like a ruffles chip with the ridges, only smooth. conical and concave I think, someone still needs to tell me the difference.
Spore Print: Waiting
Bruising: Brownish brusing
Other: Kind of like a watery smell.
Mushroom 5:
Habitat: Growing from the soil. United States,Michigan, average temperature 50s.
Gills: Dark brown, not attached to stem.
Stem: I dont have the stem =\ it like vanished when I tried to pick it
Cap: The cap is like a tan color (The pictures color is different)Smooth texture, Spherical, convex.
Spore Print: Waiting
Bruising: I have not a clue, I dont think it bruises
And last but not least, the mushroom that grabbed my attention the most, I really would like to know what it is.
Mushroom 6:
Habitat: Growing from dead stump wood. United States,Michigan, average temperature 50s.
Gills: Pinkish, not attached to stem.
Stem: Thin I would say, white, about an inch long, diameter is less than half an inch, solid.
Cap: Very odd I think. If you cant tell from the picture, The cap is a reddish pink, with webbings acrossed the top. About 2-3 inches in diameter, spherical, convex.
Spore Print: Waiting
Bruising: A light brown
Other: I was scared to touch this mushroom, lol.
So there they are, any information would be fantastic, like I said, mainly I just want to know whats growing around my place, not so much if they are active. But if they are active, do let me know so I can pick more and gobble them up

6) Not sure, I think these are on mushroomexpert.com somewhere. Also I think GeorgeM finds them. Kind of hard to tell just seeing the underside.
Some of your pics are out of focus, are you using your cameras macro mode feature?
