CT Identification
#22005544 - 07/27/15 05:04 PM (8 years, 6 months ago) |
|

Habitat: Found in the woods close-by to small pond in Connecticut, growing among some rotten leaves and such.
Gills: Looks light brown. See picture.
Stem: Stem was skinny and white.
Cap: Light brown on top, turning to a light vanilla color going down. Bell shape.
Spore print color: Either brown or black. Spore print was very dull due to it being young?
Bruising: Stem seems to have bruised light brown after I picked it.
Other information: Smells very similar to edible brown canned mushrooms you can find in most grocery stores. It was very tiny! About as tall as my pinky finger.
All help is appreciated!! I believe it might be a panaeolus olivaceus, but this is literally my first time mushroom hunting, so I can't be sure.

Hmmmmm not sure what it is, but I can tell you it is not Panaeolus olivaceus.
Wait for a TI to confirm and don't eat it until it's been properly identified. Could be toxic.
And welcome to the shroomery!

Thanks for the reply. After a bit of research I figured it wasn't panaeolus olivaceus as well... at this point I have no idea. It is very young, so the spore was very dull. I could barely tell the color, it could be either black or brown.... Sadly it won't appear on the camera.

Looks like your typical sun bleached Panaeolus foenisecii. I live in CT and find em everywhere. Could be wrong but that's my guess. If your looking for actives in CT the best advice I could give you is to look for Panaeolus cinctulus or certain gymnopilus. I have had luck finding cinctulus around horse farms.

Upon further speculation I can conclude I'm unsure of what that is.

Was it growing from grass and do you have a photo of the print? I can tell you that it's not active or a prefered edible.

Yeah, panaeolina foenisecii was one of my other initial guesses, but found too many dissimilarities. (It was under heavily wooded area, definitely did not see much sunlight, by the way). My closest guess is panaeolus cinctulus at this point.

By that logic it wouldn't be Panaeolus cinctulus either as they have overlapping habitats/substrates.

It was not growing from grass but rather around moist soil and dead wet leaves. Sadly the print is so dull it won't even show up on my camera... I left it to print for about 3 hours. I may have been a little too rough with it, and it also had a little eaten through by some bugs.

You have to wait longer than 3 hours for the spore print. Generally 8 to 12+ hours in many cases.
Here's a link you may find helpful: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/spore_print.html

Ah, thank you... sorry, total noob here. Will be aware in future spore print attempts.

So it's been getting a little dry now, and is darkening in color. It smells very strong, I'm not sure if that's common for mushrooms. Any more ideas? I think it might be a liberty cap.

the cap is wrong, the gills are wrong, and stem is wrong.
aside from that, it's fairly close.
