Habitat: Mulch near a playground.
Gills: Purple
Stem: Hollow, varying from 2 to 3 inches in height.
Cap: Pancake like but when older the outer edges push upwards. Some blue staining on the tops of one of them. Caramel colored, but broken.
Spore print color: Still making it
Bruising: I can't seem to induce bruising on it, though on one of the caps there is a few blue streaks. This is my only doubt as to it being non-active...
Smell:Smells woody like a popsickle stick...





Do you see the blue staining on this next one?






And some other fun fungi friends ones.
Some kind of Amanita(there was a lot of them in one area which I found to be weird)



No Clue what this is, it was growing on a dead log:


This one looked like a little pimple. Burgandy red top, white on the outside edges of the cap. Very small mushroom growing on some logs.

1-6) Stropharia rugosoannulata

7-8) Appear to be Amanita amerimuscaria

9) Polyporus badius

10) Mycena haematopus possibly

Is the Stropharia rugosoannulata edible? Google says it tastes good, but I always like to be sure.

All the pictures of it look really different, but some of them do look really close.

I agree with all of your ID's. Makes me wonder what that blue streak is.

Yes. I like them a bit younger than that though.

I can't explain the blue you see.

The blue could be purple spore deposits.

Are you sure the stem was hollow? On S. rugoso annulata Stamets says:

"Stem base and stalk soon riddled with, sometimes hollowed out from, larvae."

The only other I'd think they'd be is Stropharia hardii since the annulus is weathered off on the lot.

Taste would indicate which one they are for sure.

I'm still going with Wine Caps on 'em.

The stems were only hollow in some places I just found out after further investigation. Yucky bugs!!!

It's definitely a wine cap.

Awesome find, I hope to find some one day.

I really want to try slicing them and BBQ'ing them basted in teriyaki sauce...

They can weigh like three pounds when mature! Especially if growing with other garden plants.

Sure thing! If you have anything to trade for it, it would be very appreciated(I'd also leave you a nice rating:D), if not no big deal! I want to share as much with this community as I can, even if it's just sending out some wild prints. Yes PM me you details, the prints are done and they are nice and dry and full of spores haha.

I don't yet, but you will be first on my list once I get a few edibles established. I will have cyans soon as well.
