ID for Midwest Florida mushrooms (large variety).
    #10399477 -

I came back from a long gathering session with a variety of mushrooms; I tried as best I could to place similar looking species next to one another, but I'm not even sure how many different types I have. Here's what I can describe:

TYPE 1
---
Habitat:
Cow pasture in the middle of the country (Midwest Florida). These were growing directly out of the cow dung.

Gills:
Light gray and somewhat adnate.

Stem:
About 3-4 inches long, less than 1/4 inch thick, mostly white, solid feeling.

Cap:
About 1-2 inches in diameter, light gray to white in color, wrinkled and slimy on top, bell shaped.

Spore print color:
Black.

Bruising:
I can't tell if there is any bruising present.

Other information:
Fresh, starchy smell.

Picture:



TYPE 2
---
Habitat:
Cow pasture in the middle of the country (Midwest Florida). These were all growing around the cow dung; none of them grew out of it.

Gills:
A mix of pink, red, and brown.

Stem:
2 inches long and thick from top to bottom.

Cap:
2-3 inches in diameter, yellow-ish color with a tinge of brown, flat top and curved upwards at the rim, with a soft smooth surface.

Spore print color:
Pink.

Bruising:
I can't tell if there is any bruising present.

Other information:
Strong farinaceous smell.

Picture:



TYPE 3
---
Habitat:

Gills:
Yellow-ish white.

Stem:
1-2 inches long, skinny.

Cap:
1/2 to 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter, yellow-ish brown flat top, soft smooth cap.

Spore print color:
No noticeable color.

Bruising:
I can't tell if there is any bruising present.

Other information:
Light starchy smell.

Picture:



TYPE 4
---
Habitat:
Cow pasture in the middle of the country (Midwest Florida). These were growing around and out of the cow dung.

Gills:
Vanilla color.

Stem:
Between 1 and 2 inches in length and about 1/4 an inch thick.

Cap:
1 inch in diameter, deep yellow color with a hint of brown, soft and smooth cap. Button tops.

That's true. I took pictures of each group; hopefully that'll help out a bit.

Any possibility on identifying just one or two of the types posted?

First group looks like Panaeolus Antillarum if there's no bruising.

I just found a couple of those the other night.

Also try spore printing on glass rather than paper or something, easier to see lighter colors because you can change the background, as far as I know if the cap drops spores they can be seen in piles.

It's also easier to disinfect glass so you can use the spores for cultures if you find something of interest.

1) Panaeolus antillarium
2) Agaricus

Unable to clearly ID 3+4, would take some more looking into it. 100% not active, however, if that's what you want to know.

Hey Germ, got any insight on these:



Found in Central FL field directly off of cow poo.

Orangish spore print.

I was definitely looking for clarification as to whether or not they're active (I can't believe none of them are), but I was also wondering what species they are for the sake of acquiring as much knowledge of different fungi as possible. It definitely helps when I'm out in the field; I won't have to grab a bunch of inactives if I can eyeball field test them like I do with those damn Puffballs. Those things are seriously everywhere out there!

Oh well, that's strike two. Maybe I should try another field, perhaps with horses instead of cows. Anyway, thanks a lot, German Kuhana. I had a nice chicken salad, pan ant sandwich and tossed the rest. :tongue:

Are you sure that the scaly mushroom was growing directly from dung or is it possible that there was anything wooden it might have grown off? It looks like an Armillaria to me, but they don't grow off dung, they are a wood decomposer.

Are you referring to the other poster's mushroom, or one of mine? If you're referring to one of mine, I'm not sure which one of them is scaly. :blush:

It was growing off of a piece of wood fused with a piece of poo.

So you're probably right.

Grab them puffballs to eat. They were delicious with eggs this morning.

I tend to eat the pan ants that I collect, but I haven't tried any puffballs. :tongue: I did read that they're edible though; my skepticism of them is derived from my poking a few in the field and seeing a fine brown dust shoot out. :shocked:

Are the fresh ones white throughout?

Yes, the younger puffs are choice eats, the older they get the more yellowed they get.

Then they burst into spores.

Get the little ones.
