Mushrooms for ID
    #18926213 - 10/03/13 02:47 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)







First time out looking for mushrooms, was about to drive to a nearby wooded area when I noticed these under a cedar in my backyard.  They were growing out of the dirt that was covered in cedar leaves.

Been trying to ID them but getting confused (and I need to get some KOH).

Here's what I've been able to get:

Cap: Largest one about 14 cm in diameter, a few smaller ones around 7.5 cm in a diameter.  Brown in the center with a few brown bits hanging on, the rest is off-white and a bit shaggy. Caps for the specimens I got are wide and flat but I saw some smaller caps that are almost spherical.

Stem: Pretty pronounced annula midway through the stem.  Cut site is dark brown/red. Stem pops off the cap easily.  Stem seems to be hollow(?)

Gills: Offwhite/yellowish, unattached to stem.

Spores: Brownish colored.

Smell: Smells like a mushroom :confused:

Bruise color: I think it's a brownish yellow bruise color? I squashed the edge of one of the caps and it's in the picture of the gills.

Based on what I've gathered I think its a agaricus of some sort but the white gills are throwing me for a loop.  I went back out and looked a few others which had brown gills but those were starting to rot already.  Any help?
Thanks!

Macrolepiota species possibly? Or Lepiota seems more probable judging by the stipe.

I'd go with what the T.I says.

Hi, thanks for the rapid reply!  Just trying to learn here, I was under the assumption that chlorophyllum tend to either have white or green spores, is this incorrect?

How long did you leave the cap on the paper to print?  Is the mushroom wet and getting the paper wet  -or dry and really just a brown spore print?

I see a Chlorophyllum species.

there is a green tinge to the gills in your photos.  Is that real or a camera / lighting error?

Definitely.

You should take a better spore print.

The cap has been sitting there for probably 2 hours now so maybe it needs more time to get a nice spore print.  I went back and looked at the gills again and this time I noticed the greenish tinge at the tips of the gill. Didn't realize it could be so subtle, thought it would be super green like those pictures in the guidebook.  Probably chlorophyllum molybdites then?

12 or even 24 hours is ideal. 2 hours will only produce a faint print.

Thanks guys! I'll make sure to get a better spore print before I get frustrated with the guidebook and come on here and post :tongue:
