New to Mycology and Mushroom hunting!
    #18729567 - 08/19/13 08:21 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hey everyone! I'm TheBeardedNerd and I just wanted to introduce myself as well as get the mushrooms I find on my hunts identified.

I'm completely new to Mycology in every facet. The inspiration to start Mushroom Hunting came from me moving from a location with next to no mushrooms to now living in an area where it's difficult not to step on the little gi's (Sorry for the pun!)

I started researching and did my first hunt last night and wanted to get an ID on one specific mushroom I found. I'll make sure to follow all the community guidelines as closely as I can as to not irritate you all! I definitely wouldn't want to anger the people I'm seeking help from, that's for sure!

So here goes it:







Where it was growing:
In the North Carolina Mountains, Elevation ~2800ft.

The Season:
Late Summer, ~70-75°

What was it growing on:
Low cut grass (Backyard)

How rare is it:
I'm assuming common, as I've found 4 of these, some larger and more mature, some younger.

General Phsyical Attributes:

• Cap: Tan/Light Brown, Campanulate. The Apex forms to a nipple and has parallel grooves running to the bottom of the cap.
• Gills: Tan/Medium Brown, Adnexed(?)
• Stipe: White/Tan/Creamy with no volva or striations. ~3 inches
• Spore Print: Brown

Let me know if you need any more information and also let me know if I'm doing this right too!
