I may have found cyans, but I doubt it!
    #19077715 - 11/02/13 11:15 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Habitat:
Found on a pond bank, under the shade of an uprooted tree. It appeared to be growing out of the wet mulch which had accumulated over the years.

Gills:
Light brown in color, becoming darker with age, somewhat distant, adnate to sinuate (seceding or free).

Stem:
Roughly 35-50 mm in length, only 2 cm in diameter, white fading to brown, smooth, hollow, thick, and fibrous.

Cap:
2-5 cm in diameter, brown fading to a lighter tan, with a slight knob in the center, around which is notably darker. The margin is wavy and slightly upturned.

Spore print color:
Still awaiting my spore print! I have a sample on some tin foil under a cup as I fill out this form, but I'm not sure how long it may take for this species to print.

Bruising:
The stem bruised too dark for me to notice any bluing, and maybe I just don't know what 'blue' is, but I don't see anything on the caps, really.

Other information:
Smells like a mushroom, but also very 'wet' smelling, and the taste is like dirt. I honestly think these are a look-alike such as pholiotina rugosa, because I've never actually seen cyanescens in real-life, nor do I see any blue bruising on the cap, and there are a few discrepancies between my shitty-quality pics and the pictures I see on the site. Here they are, I hope the quality isn't too poor to make an ID.





I know my poor quality photos are easy to ignore, but please don't.  :wouldyoulookatthat:

Yeah, I figured as much. They aren't waxy enough. And my assessment of pholiotina rugosa is a little off, because it doesn't have any veil remnants on the stalk on any of the specimens. I'm stuck on this, don't know mycology well-enough to get an ID on those with an undulating margin.

pictures of the stipe would help

if not pholiotina, how bout tubaria? likely not considering the stem description but just throwin out a guess

Hmmm, I'll look into that! Thanks Rafiikii.

Ehh... reportedly the tubaria lookalike tubaria furfuracea isn't near what I'm looking at. All my shitty fungal finds for a damn camera!!  :pimpslap2:

Still no official ID, but I'll post the results of the spore print tomorrow, if they do print at all. D:

I'm a recent finder of cyans. I was lucky to find them in an area that had both wetter and drier micro climates. And they were fruiting in multiple stages. If you've hunted other mushrooms (I'm an edibles junkie for seven years now) you'll have your radar tuned to recognize field markers and habitat. Once you find cyans, you'll know. You probably won't even need to ask. If you're in any doubt you'll take a spore print. Those aren't them, sorry. But once you find them it'll be much easier to find them again. Once you've seen them and imprinted the habitat it'll all become very obvious. Where are you? Generally of course. Just regionally.?.

If you're posting pictures for an identification it's helpful to show the gills, stems, and any other defining attributes.
Four pictures of the same thing is less useful than one picture of four different attributes.
I think your mushrooms could possibly be an Armillaria species of some kind.

spore print helps too.
