ID Help, two new mushrooms
    #9903311 - 03/03/09 12:52 PM (15 years, 19 days ago)

Habitat:
I found this mushroom on the side of the freeway growing in the mulch. There was a small patch of about 15 mushrooms. There was some small tree that I could not identify growing by them. But not much other vegetation.

Gills:
The gills are a dark brownish color on the inside and a light brown color on the tips. Take a look at the pictures for a better description.

Stem:
The stem is about 3 inches, 1/4" in diameter, cream white color, and it is very hard. Not easy to break it in half.

Cap:
Range in size from 1-3 inches, yellow/brownish, the texture is really smooth and in some places it is a scaly texture.

Spore print color:
Brown/purple?

Bruising:
The bruising isnt very visible. But it you do bruise it, after a few minutes it gets pretty dark, a dark gray blueish color.

I tried to identify it using the internet and other resources, and I came close but still couldnt get a Genus that looked exactly like this one.



--------Second mushroom-------

Habitat:
This mushroom wasnt to far from the other ones but it was in a completely different patch. It too was in mulch dumped on the side of the road. I was driving back home from the first mushroom and noticed these huge things growing and decided to stop and take a look.

Gills:
The gills are a light cream color.

Stem:
The stem is about 2-3 inches, .5 inches in diameter, pretty soft, easy to break.

Cap:
Range in size from 1-6 inches. Some of them were convex and some were concave. As you can see in the pictures below. The younger ones are concave and the older ones are convex.

Spore print color:
N/A - sorry

Bruising:
No bruising.

As for this one, I tried to identify it and came up with "Gymnopus dryophilus" or "Russula pectinatoides". I dont know how correct it is.

Yep, they were dark brown.

Edit---

Not exactly dark brown, but a lighter brown. Sorry.

A. praecox looks almost identical but has slightly browner spores and smells like cucumber.
