Possible Lepiota
    #23649279 - 09/16/16 12:48 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Habitat:

Gills:
Gills, Light tan, free, close

Stem:
3 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, smooth, breaks like string cheese, medium size compared to cap, white coloured, thick fleshed but hollow, annular ring quite fragile but present

Cap:
~5 cm, tan scales against white, conic
Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.

Spore print color:
White

Bruising:
None observed

Other information:
Smelled like the mushrooms in the store.

Cap


Gills & stem showing uncut stipe


Gills & stem cut to show hollow stipe


Cross section showing hollow stipe and gill attachment (or lack thereof)


Spore print


I have gone around in circles through known references and keep coming back to Lepiota genus but can't narrow down species.  Any help appreciated as well as correction of any information I may have mis-stated, i.e. gill spacing.

Where can I go next in trying to identify this specimen, i.e. reagent tests, etc.?  Thanks.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  Further research leads me to believe it is possibly Leucoagaricus barssii.  My reference has this genus grouped with Lepiota, Chlorophyllum and Cystoderma. L. barssii is commonly found in the region.
