My Mate's Got A Subterranean Leucocoprinus

Inside the chameleon's cage.
Outside it. The bottom section is glass walled and there are white blobs on the glass.
Mushroom-like blobs.
And around the edge of the water bowl.

These are small, caps are finely floccose over a smooth striate background and the centre is browner. The stem is whitish and perhaps a little brown at the base. They were all buried in the coconut husk substrate and squished against plastic or glass. None fruit above the substrate. The smell gets a mixed review, strongly fungusy with spermatic topnotes. I think some kind of toad lives in the substrate.
A mishap with the specimens I took prevents me from adding other details but there are more where those came from.

Interesting that none popped up on the surface. I wonder if thats circumstance or fungal preference? Neato!

Thanks very much Alan. I had been thinking around that and L. brebissonii and species I might not be able to distinguish.
Thanks Lhun, I don't know either, maybe they are finding the substrate well aerated with those toads or whatever crawls around in it and there's more moisture at the glass sides and around the water bowl. I was hoping it would lead to a really kooky ID.

Makes me wonder how many mushrooms I have passed up because the specimens were hidden too far underground. Thanks for posting.

Was he using that expandable compressed coconut fiber for the soil or actual soil?
Very Cool!

Twiz, Byrain, St. Chibes, thanks, you all rock!
I'm going over there soon so feeding times notwithstanding should have a chance to check back on the mushrooms. The soil is that coconut stuff.
