Very random mushroom found growing with cacti.. ID please!
    #22009182 - 07/28/15 11:59 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Habitat:
Found in a pot of 10-15 year old T. Pachanoi pot.

Gills:
Consistent cream colour throughout entire fruit

Stem:
Thin stem, soft, almost "squishy"

Cap:
1" diameter, cream colour same as gills, stem etc, rough texture, kind of "flaked" appearance..

Spore print color:
Not yet printed, only just found and picked

Bruising:
No evident bruising after 30 mins of picking

Other information:
Very typical "woody" mushroom smell, not a strong odour.


Found growing in a pot along side a T. Pachanoi cactus, the cactus is at least 10, probably 15 years old, plant is kept indoors in a room with very little contaminant vectors, basically an unused room, kept very clean, has people in it maybe twice a year, used mainly for cacti.

Main interest is where spore could have come from, although I guess it could have sat in the soil, which is a loose sandy mix for years waiting to pop up.

I live in the UK, is this a native species, or something exotic perhaps carried with the seed over a decade ago...?

spores move wherever air moves.  unless that room has an air lock at the door with decontam equipment and the air within the room is filtered, treated, and self contained, there are spores in there.

I am aware spores move more freely than people etc, just intrigued as to whether this is a fruit whose mycelium has been nestling away for years waiting to spring up, or if it is the more likely local transference on airflow, insects etc.

I have been cultivating for around a decade, just don't know where to begin looking in my mushroom ID books etc.

No actual input then? Just a blind stating of the obvious...? :grin:

To clarify I was not wondering how a spore could enter a room! More that I was interested if this was a fungus native to the UK or something more exotic. :thumbup:

It's Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. Very common in indoor potted plants. Mycelium probably came in with the soil when you bought it. It doesn't harm plants and only breaks down dead organic matter.

Cool, I wasn't worried about it harming my cacti, they are about 3'-4' tall and harder to kill than Steven Seagal. :wink:
