What species are these?
    #14423603 - 05/09/11 08:36 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Habitat:

Looks like it grew in some soil/moss from the location in a grassy feild next to the side walk.

Gills:
The gills are pale, I am very novice so I cannot explain more than that, the pictures don't show much of them, however I can say that they are pale in color.

Stem
apparently hollow stem, thin, pale in color

Cap:
average of 4cm in diameter, spherical, dark brown when wet, pale, light brown when dry

Spore print color:
Very important! I know this! I tried doing a spore print, over the period of a couple hours checking every 30 minutes... Finally I could see the gill pattern on the paper, but it lacked any pigment, almost a white/clear spore print.. strange for a 'shroom...

Bruising:
N/A

Other information:
I will have to take some BETTER photographs, of the gills, stem and cap... but what you see should give an idea i.e. they grew in clusters, in some type of dirt/moss blend.. i found them May 8th in Southern Washington/Northern Oregon.. ahem... Portland area.. if that helps identify these.. Again I am novice with no experience hunting.. I have read some on the topic, not enough to confidently identify ANYTHING.. yet...

I just want to see if anyone here has an idea what these are... Given the odd sporeprint, are they poisonous look-alikes? Give me something! Thanks, peace and god bless.

Certainly! They are a good edible, I understand they do very well in soups and they dry&store very well too.

They shrivel up loads if you fry them, though.

Well that might be good for someone still getting used to the texture of fungi. Just :2cents:

It's best to just leave the cap alone for a few hours while printing. There's no need to check it every 30 minutes.

Hey guy's looks like I've found some more... of possible interest...

Habitat: Front lawn of my friend's... The grass around them seemed very tall, rich green.. A hint?

Gillls: The gills are very tight, they're dark, almost black in color.

Stem: Hollow, white, 3mm-5mm diameter, 3cm-6cm length

Cap: The cap is tan, 1cm-4cm in diameter

Spore print: Still printing, I am not supposed to leave this out I know, I will edit once it's finished!

Bruising: N/A

Other info: Picked May 10th, in the Portland area, there were some other 'shrooms similiar to them a few feet away with one notable difference, the caps were.. sort of grown out, turned up and cracked and brown at the edges. They seemed to grow tightly to each other, but singularly, but I didn't get to check out every patch.

Whoa... smart :wink: I'd rate ya, but I can't yet!

I wiki'd them, looks like they're edible, but not magical :cool:

I munched the other ones, I dried them out and they tasted like pumpkin seed...

These.. I'd have to put in something, like an omlette, I don't think i'll be eatin' them...

I've thrown C.micaceous in a couple dishes,but they were inconsequential so I can't really say I liked or disliked them at all.  I've heard you can make a good milk-gravy with them and the 'ink' will stain it a bit black making it take on an interesting color.

Hello again! I went for a hike today and hunted down a few.

Habitat: Pacific NW, May 20th, dense foresty area, very moist, near firns, grew alone and couldn't see any others like it (never have seen any others like it!)
Gills: This strange thing doesn't have gills!
Cap: Weird looking, the cap is sort of folded at the middle and hangs down on either side. It's now a tan/brown but was sort of greenish when picked. It's about 3cm long.
Stem: White, hollow, 5cm long, bumpy? stem, sort of curvy.
Spore print: No gills so no spore print, I assume...
Bruising: N/A
