Looks like you have two different shrooms there...  They both spore printed brown?

The ones with the chocolate gills are most certainly an agaricus.

The others, dunno.  It's not entirely clear from your pics which caps are which...


--------------------
"Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats."

"The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

Agaricus sp. Not so sure about the one on the right in your first picture.

I don't know much about the species. In fact this is the first time I've even heard of it, but I found this to seem close, Stropharia rugosoannulata. I just don't think the cracked top, and strange "curly" annulus look right for Agaricus.

Either way I'd be willing to bet it's a Stropharia, not Agaricus:shrug: Take it or leave it

I bow to your greater research!  The gills looked to me like a dead ringer for agaricus and I wasn't sure which cap went with those gills...  Both cap pics look to me like they came from the lighter gilled shrooms...

:thumbup: The gills are attached and the spore print is purple-brown (Agaricus shouldn't have either).

Cool, I've never even found a Stropharia. I just knew this didn't have a cap with fibrils, and the split annulus was weirding me out.

I'm glad my guess didn't make me seem like an idiot:dancingbacon:

Not Stropharia, it is Agrocybe due to the way the cap is cracking.  The spore color looks more like Stropharia, but the colors are very close and the cracking cap tells the true stroy.  The equal stem and veil remnants around the cap margin make me say A. praecox over A. putaminum.  Should smell like cucumber.  It is edible.

Ah, the difference between "rusty-brown" and purple-brown.

Thanks Alan

They do look like an Agrocybe with the cracking caps but those spores are very purple.

Good lesson!  Wish I could retain moar NOW, but I'll just keep taggin' along 'till I have a lightbulb moment.  I figure you have to build a framework to hang on the detail on, working on that.  :confused:

I know what you mean. I put in my .02. Worthwhile, or not, I have nothing else to do but sit back and watch.

If this turns into a big discussion, then I'll learn enough to know for sure when I find my first Stropharia/Agrocybe praecox, and you'll be able to clearly state the difference between the two.

Come on TI's, do what you do!!!

Naw, no dispute just an observation. They probably are Agrocybe praecox, they just seem atypical.

I just like it when you guys start using your big, fancy words, and I have to google a bunch of terms.

This could be Leratiomyces percevalii, or Agrocybe praecox. The appendiculate margin, tapered, staining stipe and purple spore print point strongly at Leratiomyces, but I think young specimens would be necessary to make a confident determination here.
