Wood eating mushroom ID
    #23678530 - 09/26/16 12:42 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hey all, first post here. I found a wood eating mushroom, whiteish with a uh "caramel" centre on the cap. It was growing only a day ago in rainy Wales in an allotment surrounded by leeks, squashes, berry bushes and appears to have been feasting on a leylandi tree mulch. The local slugs seemed to be already enjoying a few. Spore print appears to be black to muddy brown and the smell changes from mushroomy to aniseedy. I really have searched quite a lot but I can't actually find any matches, it's rather confusing. It bruises grey, from what I can tell and is slightly oily looking when damp. Gills are free but tightly clustered.

I did notice this particular mushroom was growing through its food as opposed to all over it, so it may be a soft rot fungus. It was growing very prominately in groups, with an example of one much larger mushroom shielding the emergence of a smaller mushroom of the same species.

Prominent ring on the stem of younger or undamaged examples.

When very young, they looked not unlike a deformed liberty cap that's been stood on a few times, minus the nipple protrusion. With a dirty brown colouration. They also seem quite localised, not as aggressive as I expected they would be, though reports of mushrooms on this mulch were given to me by my family for around a month now.

Included below are the best pictures I can get right now with my present equipment, I hope they are detailed enough! Thanking you for reading, all.

Ha, ha, ha! Good eye! Yeah, I don't like physically touching unidentified mushrooms untill I know what they are. Could be they're really shy and deploy mycotoxins to avoid social anxiety :L

No need to fear mushrooms.  You can taste a small bite of every mushroom and spit it out with no problem.  Plants on the other hand are more dangerous.  Just brushing up on some plants can blister skin.

I'd guess that is an Agrocybe.  Definately not active.

Edit: I'm not suggesting you ingest unknown mushrooms.

Thanks! Yeah, I had a feeling it wasn't active as it didn't bruise blue or make any purple spores but I just wanted to check if it was poisonous and see if it had any bioremediation potential.

Don't worry, BTW, I don't plan on ingesting any random mushies. I don't fancy meeting Grim just yet.
