ID request: shroom in potted plant
    #10768137 -

A colleague brought these in Tuesday, but I didn't get around putting some pics and this post up until now. This has caused some dehydration of the specimens, but they're still fairly ok. I'm about to toss them though; the info and pics below will have to suffice for identification purposes.

Habitat:
Rather moist potting soil, along with potted plants. Several specimens were growing in the same spot (same pot). Pots were indoors, so RH is relatively low. However, due to quite profuse watering, the RH just above the soil might have been considerably higher than in the rest of the room. Temperature should be somewhere around 20C. The companion plant was dracaena species, most likely dracaena marginata.

Gills:
Free, cream white with darker edges (probably due to ageing) and white spore dust cluttered along the edges.

Stem:
4-5cm, fibrous, not brittle, apparently hollow (specimens dried out too far to judge reliably)

Cap:
Diam. 2-5cm, brown/tan with darker nipple (sometimes pronounced, sometimes almost absent). Striate cap margin. Cap flattening out on maturing, but edges not curling upwards.

Spore print color:
Pure white, judging by the deposits on other caps and on the edges of the gills.

Bruising:
No bruising observed.

Other information:
Nothing in particular. Common as muck mushroom, but I don't recognize it.
Pics:

Yeah, I guessed as much. And I'm not gonna munch it down, hoping I'll trip balllzzzz either, thankyouverymuch :wink:

I am curious as to what this is, though. 99% of the indoor-potted plant mushrooms are leucocoprinus sp. In outdoor pots, psathyrellas and coprinoids are fairly common. However, this one, I'd never found before in an indoor pot. So I was kinda wondering...

Its Lepiotoid, maybe Leucocoprinus

It doesn't look like any of the leucocoprinus species I'm familiar with, but it would be quite likely habitat-wise. Can't find a good match based on a quick-n-dirty Google query, but that doesn't say much.

You could do some microscopy and then ask Else Vellinga about it.

I currently do not have access to a microscope. I might hold on to some gill fragments and wait till my sister returns from her vacation, she has a good microscope.
