LBMs?
    #14521070 - 05/27/11 01:57 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Milling about in my backyard, I noticed some Japanese Umbrella Inky Caps, Dead Man's Fingers, and some Psilocybe Ovoideocystidiata (thanks to shroomery for the ID on that last one :grin:).

However, I came across a LBM that is not in my field manual and figured I would return to the knowledgeable people of Shroomery to see what's up.











Wildlife near the mushroom. Think of the climate of this log-loving toad.


Gills:
Gills are attached, and are dark brown in color.

Stem:
This mushroom had a thick, hollow stem. It was about one to two inches tall and maybe a quarter to half an inch wide.

Cap:
About 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Dark wooden brown (sort of the colour of Dunce Caps). Thick, wide, uneven caps (although I noted a smaller one that appeared more bulbous/spherical). Note there is a fragment of a veil in one photo.


Spore print color:
Spore print in process!



Other information:

In Pennsylvania (towards the center of the state), we've been lately having scattered showers on and off for the past week (but no really heavy rain). Highs in the mid 70s lows in the high 50s during the night. I tried to get a few photographs of the fungus in habitat, but from the pictures you cannot tell they are in a shaded area near a fence and tree stump. They are growing amongst wood chips.

My best guess is that they are some type of Cortinarii, but I can't figure which.

They look like Psathyrellas at first glance. Try snapping the stem and see if you can hear it snap. A high percentage of Psathyrella species have stems that are so still that you can hear them, and if you can hear it, then you almost certainly have a Psathyrella.

Identification of Psathyrellas to species pretty much requires a microscope for an accurate ID. IDs to groups of species aren't quite so difficult.

In general, they shouldn't be considered anything to eat for any reason. Most have not been studied for edibility or toxins, and there have been a very few poisonings from them. Some are listed as edible, but I don't know anybody who thinks they're worth hunting to eat.

Happy mushrooming!

Thanks for the replies.

I am noting that you guys are both trusted identifiers, so I guess they aren't Cortinarii? I'll post the color of the spore print whenever they finish.

Lacrymaria sounds just about right.

I will confess something that should be quite obvious, CC.  I love mushrooms, i.e. fungi.  I really do.  I am talking about a strong feeling, i.e. emotion, for them.  I think they are beautiful.  I even dream of them.
