Agaricus or Amanita?
    #18807213 - 09/06/13 12:06 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Colorado Front Range, 10,000 feet, heavily shaded dense pine forest, smells mushroomy, bigger one is two inches across and 3 inches high, smaller one only 1 inch in diameter and shorter. Gill color brown after peeling off the covering. Bruises beige. Still awaiting a spore print. Pictures suggest agaricus arvensis (though altitude seems too high) or agaricus sylvicola, but could also be an amanita.

I'm going with Agaricus, but please never cut the stem base off when doing an id request.  Especially when you think it may be an Amanita species be sure to collect the stem base and possible volva intact.

Yeah, sorry about that. They were actually given to me by a friend who'd been hiking at a higher elevation than my 9,100-foot home and she wouldn't know a mushroom from a toadstool. She obviously used a pen knife or broke them off.

Does it have a smell? Especially the base?

The difference  between a mushroom and a toadstool? That is not a difference that is defined with much consensus. Some people say all mushrooms are toadstools, while others say all poisonous mushrooms are toadstools, etc... In any case toadstools definitely are mushrooms or more accurately toadstools is a term meaning mushrooms, which mushrooms it refers to is a matter of rather chilly debate (as opposed to heated debate). Just out of curiosity what do you consider toadstool to mean?
