Hello Identifiers of the mushroom world.. I summon thee for an ID

These photos were taken in Homestead, Fl

The mushrooms in question are growing out of pine shavings that were used as bedding in horse stables.. The shavings were transported to an organic farm, where its being spread throughout, used as mulch and soil enrichment.. The shavings originate from a horse track also located in south florida

ive seen them come up in only two small patches so far, but they always pop up in dense clusters






white gills


when lightly scratched, they immediately bruise a red color.. the same bruising could at times be seen in the gills too when scratced


I'm also hoping for some suggestions. Someone approached me regarding possible mushrooms species that could be introduced to the shavings via spore and/or mycelial solution (LC).. Ideally an edible species..

to give you an idea: this mulch is spread out through a couple acres of land usually a foot or more deep. The area in mind does not have an irrigation system setup yet, so low maintenance/requirements species would be great. There are other areas where the irrigation is up and running and the mulch of similar dept that are fair game also. The person that approached me about this, wanted a mushroom that would hlp breakdown all the bedding while at the same time provide a food crop that can be harvested and sold. I am not 100% sure on the wood, though I imagined it as pine since it smells exactly like hamster bedding (pine shavings)..

if you made it this far, thanks..

I can't provide much further insight, other than I don't think this mushroom provides you with a feasible business opportunity with regards to farming it and selling it for its culinary value.

definatelt not, it's likely poisonous. It's definately a little red-staining lepiota(sensu lato) and they ain't to be fucked with. It's not leucoagaricus americana it's too small and the annulus is too week

I'd say thats closer than I was. There are actually a lot of red-staining little "lepiota"s out there, matter of fact I got a couple you can look at.....:pm:

this particular mushroom's identification was more for curiosity's sake and i had no intention of using it for those purposes, but was wondering what other species would work well  (really just looking for suggestions but will definitely research it on my own either way)

and riverdweller, from the looks of it.. thats certainly the best bet

and i greatly appreciate everyones help.. a round of blue shrooms on me :cool:

stropharia roguso-annulata is a good edible that grows in wood chips. Also oyster mushrooms, uh shitake Leucoagaricus americana, chlorrophylum rachodes, lentulinus edodes ect.

A decent percentage of people are allergic to that species though, so I wouldn't sell it for food.


I would put out oyster spawn.  Areas that get irrigated would be best, unless they are already colonized.  Fresh wood chips + irrigation would work well.

If there is poo and pee in those wood chips, you better look for compost mushroom species, which are able to break down wood, like Agaricus subrufescens aka A. blazei aka A. brasiliensis or any other large yellow staining Agaricus. These usually need soil on top for fruiting, but with irrigation they can do without. A temperature tolerant oyster should be worth a try though.
