Hey everyone, I've spent some time walking in the fields and lawns around my area, here are my attempts at ID'ing my finds. I've Included spore print pictures for many of them. `I have spore prints for all of them that would drop them. Unfortunately I need a new camera as of yesteday. I`m putting up lots just because I like to share, and I am curious to learn.
1 Agrocybe molesta
Habitat: Front lawn of residential house. Had the cracked top, and resembled pictures, habitat, and sporeprint was brown

3 Protostropharia semiglobata
Really big specimens. I read the caps only get up to 4 cm, the 2 biggest I picked were 5.5 and 6 cm. They also had very even slender stems about 12 cm long. They were in horse dung on a pasture.
Sporeprint was purple black. I left a bowl over the largest specimen overnight and returned to a small pile of black-brown maggot soup. I got nice thick prints from those I left uncovered

Found 3 patches in a pasture, one a 6 ft fairy ring, the next a small cluster, the 3rd a long line, like the edge of a very big fairy ring.

7 Pleurotus sp
This woodlover doesnt really belong here but.... oh well doesn`t merit it`s own thread
A clustering of small fruits on a old dry log on a sandy yard. I was pretty happy to find these. I`m not sure what species grow in my area.

And now for the ones I have not yet established a guess.
8 Genus sp
Mossy grass tuft at the base of a black walnut tree on a well kept residential lawn. A small, solid, semi-conical, single mushroom with a brown sporeprint.

9 & 10 Black Prints from a lawn
These 2 mushrooms types were found very close by to one another. The reason I put them together Is they both had black spore prints. They were both found in the same residential lawn in grass. The Larger specimens were very beat up, I assume from bugs. I first thought it was a coprinus type autodigestion, but the stems appeared fine, and it discontinued when printing. Also the rotted flesh from the caps left brown stains, not black. And there shouldn`t be and rotted wood at this particular spot of grass The little bit of spore matter was obviously black
The smaller ones printed well, an obvious black.
