NE England ID Request Two Species.
    #21936068 - 07/13/15 04:54 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hello,

It’s my first time here, so I will apologise in advance for my ignorance, which I hope is not too apparent! It was only when I returned home and tried to identify these that I realised that I had already lost a lot of information and my photos are pretty bad, but I am going to blame the camera ;-)

I was out walking on the fells with my dog and some fungi caught my eye. And I wonder if you might help with the identification. Of what I think may be two types of mushroom. Variations in their characteristics are filling me with doubt.  There were a couple of patches of one type within a 10m radius, all growing from dry cow pats. A little further up there was another denser patch of a different type that were growing in some taller grass.

Species 1 (Ink Cap or Conical Brittlestem?)

Location: North-East England
Habitat: Moorland Grass (Alt. 200m), grazed by cattle and sheep. Growing out of dried cow dung.
Cap: Hygrophanous. Broadly umbonate, light brown, turning very dark brown, drying to walnut, almost bronze when dry. Larger one’s had a diameter of about 3cm.
Gills: Did not note the stem attachment. Milky coffee colour when fresh. I did not test its response to touch in the field and they have not fared well on their journey over a few hours in a small plastic sanitary bag.
Stem: 4-12cm, smooth, fairly straight and tan turning darker at base. Hollow I think, when freshly picked, stem would sometimes split in two. Has quickly withered turning very dark brown.
Smell: Very earthy, faintly ‘mushroomy’.
Bruising:Darkens noticeably. Bruises easily. All were badly bruised after being transported.
Spore Print Colour: Very dark, black, possibly purple.



Species 2 (Dung Roundhead?)

Location: North-East England
Habitat: Moorland Grass (Alt. 250m), grazed by cattle and sheep. Growing out of a clump of longer grass.
Cap: Not hygrophanous, light tan and smooth. Larger specimens had a diameter of about 4cm.
Gills: I failed to note the stem attachment before I got home, but I think a single gill ran from stem to cap the gills were a light brown colour, turning to a dark brown, tobacco colour when dry. I didn’t notice any bruising to touch.
Stem: 3-10cm, smooth, fairly straight and tan turning darker at base. Hollow I think. Retains shape while drying.
Smell: Very earthy, musty.
Bruising: Did not seem to bruise. Comparatively, were in very good condition after transportation.
Spore print colour: Dropped fewer spores, possibly because they were drier when picked. Looks brown tinted with red or mauve. Hard to tell with available magnification.



Thanks in advance.

T

----- just woke up ------- deleted this crap was wavey----

I give you the choice of 2 pills.

With each containing one of the following:
Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk?
Didn't think so.

This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

Smashing, thanks Blazeyy. I spent ages trying to ID the first one and I couldn't find anything that quite matched.
