Habitat: GA, rotting straw bale (Tractor Supply?), healthy on the north side, tiny behind grass on the burnt looking south side.
Gills: like tan, mottled with black, edges clean tan, i think attached, in pattern? full-short-med-short-full...think the gills take up most of the room in the bulk of the cap
Stem: thin (3-4mm), up to 5", sturdy - supports heavy cap, light gray/brown/reddish, maybe reddening where handled?, hollow, fibrous, blackened ring zone, longitudinal corrugation up near the cap
Cap: <1", heavy, hard, puts down with a thunk, basically brownish, dry, soft roughened texture like fine grit, hung with white veil remnants, some color/shade bands
Spore print color: black
Bruising: wet reddish orange, if anything
Other information: Can't smell it, tastes faint like watery mushroom. Heard some arguments about things that look like this - ¿qué es?
(The very last pic is of some tiny watersogged stuff that was trying to share the habitat, don't really need an id on these)

they are good for looking at, and photographing.
nothing to get worked up about though.

For survival purposes you could eat the Panaeolus for food. Other than that, they taste like grass and they're not active.

Yeah, he likes them. I suppose if prepared properly they wouldn't be so bad. I've only eaten them raw.

Hmm, I thought Panaeolus papilionaceus is the smallest bit active, but gave you a stomach ache?

Not active but there's always the possibility that someone will stumble on to an active variant. Stomach ache maybe but I didn't experience any discomfort from eating them.

Thanks for that info. but could you maybe explain to me how an inactive species can be changed into an active? Never really thought of this.
