Some more mushrooms to be identified in Melbourne's South East
    #19177015 - 11/22/13 11:47 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hey there! I posted 2 types for identification a few days ago, they were both sort of the same type. I picked up these today and thought they were the same as the white kind (if you've seen my thread...I can't seem to figure out how to look at my thread. The gross black one turned fully to sludge before I got rid of it, by the way). but I noticed when looking through the pictures, the gills in this one are black, not white.

Anyway, here's a picture.  I'd love to know the type, as well as if it's active or not.

I'm really hoping they aren't poisonous because they are super pretty so I'd like to grow them

They are a coprinoid, something similar to Coprinellus micaceus.  :thumbup:

All mushrooms of this type "turn to sludge", just like your last one.  They are not active.

Thanks friend. There are a lot of those around here. That's 3 varieties now. What are the key features of them? I don't know how the 3 types look the same, at all.

All these similar Coprinellus generally grow in clusters, have striate (vertically lined) caps, gills that start white but quickly turn pink then black.  They will all begin to deliquesce (turn to goo) in a matter of hours when picked.  The fact that they all deliquesce is the easiest identifier.

Cap color and gill color (the characteristics you seem to be focusing on) can vary.  Caps range from brown to tan to cream.  Gills from white to pink to black.  Even when looking at the same species.

I'd expect that, if cloned, this Coprinellus would not be too hard to grow since they pop up everywhere and seem very vigorous, though because of the deliquescence I doubt you could get a decent spore print. Put some stem butts on damp (not soggy) cardboard, keep humid, and see what happens. If it colonizes the cardboard, mix it with a pasteurized substrate similar to whatever you found these growing on (compost/manure if growing from a lawn, sawdust or wood chips if growing from a stump or buried wood). Should be fun :smile: the kind of science project I wish I'd done as a kid.

C. micaceus is edible; some describe it as quite good while more say it's thin-fleshed, watery, and not worth bothering with. I haven't tried it myself. Since the most obvious identifying feature makes them too yucky to eat, and it's common for different small brown mushroom species to grow side by side, I would not recommend eating any that were not cultivated from a known specimen, at least until becoming proficient at identification.
