HELP ID / COW PASTURE SHROOMS
#11364996 - 11/01/09 07:51 PM (14 years, 4 months ago) |

Habitat: Where does it grow? Huge Cow Pasture, plenty of cows, plenty of cow patties/ant piles and patches of greener then green grass Gills: Black/Dark brown
Stem: No specific length other then the length of all stems are significantly longer then the size of the cap. Most of them were white/orange-ish-brown and i cut one big orange/brown stem in half and it was hollow
Cap: Most were darker like black and some were white with a blue tint on the edges. ALL WERE CONCAVE, looked so beautiful
Spore print color: BLACK
Bruising: I didnt see much bruising but i did see a bunch of black/blue discoloration on the stems so they might have been bruises.
Other information: I can't smell but my friend says he smells a little sweet odor, not sour or foul at all.
These grew on and around old cow patties and under think patches of grass around cow patties, some grew on ant piles. A couple clusters looked like some one spray painted the grass around them with black paint. And the smaller ones were black capped becuase they were under a larger one. =) please get back to me asap

by the way i learned my lesson of using plastic bags to hold my days collection. I had to sweep half of my find that turned to mush and decay into a separate bag. I'm going to try and use the leftovers to spawn more shrooms.

Thanks for the response
Can you be specific with me? I'm not sure what copes are. Edible? Do you trip? Poisonous?

most of your mushrooms are undoubtly not pan cyans. I cannot pick out any in your picture that are obvious pan cyan.
If they turn obviously dark blue/black where damaged, then you have a winner.

most of these shrooms are cracked and disfigured now becuase of the plastic bag. I can't even bruise any shrooms becuase 90% are covered in a black cake. But my biggest interest was the difference in the white ones at the top and the others. They all looked like they started out white and became covered in black. But the white ones have a thicker stem and the other stems are orange/brown

so far all of the darker ones have black bruising on the stems. Either that or the spores are covering them completly becuase none of them are light enough to bruise. And all of the stems are so thin they are hard to bruise. The white stems don't seem to bruise. But the white Shrooms on the last pic had the most purple tint to the spore print.

no bruising on the bigger white ones. Seems like the darker shrooms bruise blacker on stems.
