ID Request please - 5 species with pics
    #23710312 - 10/05/16 03:26 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hello gang, new member here and was hoping to get some help with a possible ID on 5 different species found near my home. 

All were found in the same general area in southern Michigan after 3 continuous rainy nights.  As a beginner I don't feel qualified to provide much in the way of technical descriptions so will note below anything that isn't evident from the pictures.



#1 Approx 2-3" tall, found growing a few feet from each other, uniform off-white color all over with no markings, smell has a somewhat odd, almost chemical type odor, sporeprint is white.

#2 Fairly large (spoon for perspective), approx 7-8" tall, found growing by itself with no others anywhere to be seen.  No smell, top surface has a glossy sheen even when dry and isn't wet/slimy.  Heavy sporeprint, cream colored.

#3 Approx 4-5" tall (the larger sample), was growing in a compact clump of many others, otherwise as pictured.  Wasn't able to get a sporeprint.

#4 Height varies from 2"-5", all found within a few feet of each other but not in a clump. Smell is mild but a bit unusual (hard to describe but not typical mushroom smell).  Sporeprint is dark reddish-brown.

#5 Large group of 60+ mushrooms all growing under pine trees, height varies but many rather large (8"+), those in sunlight are faded in color.  These seem to come up in the same place year-after-year practically every time it rains for a few days and I've always assumed they were Amanita Muscaria but thought I'd ask the pros here.

FYI other than #5, all came from a very lush, well cared for lawn and appeared to be growing directly out of the grass/ground (no wood/dung) and none showed any evident bruising discoloration.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

1) Amanita virosa
2) Inocybe?
3) Armillaria tabescens
4) May be also armillaria?
5) Amanita muscaria

Wait for a TI.

Appreciate the input, for what it's worth 3 & 4 seem distinctly different. #3 has a sort of champagne glass shape with orange gills and no sporeprint (or white) while #4 is the classic rounded mushroom shape with brown gills and a dark brown sporeprint.  #3 is also larger than #4 and was found in clumps whereas #4 were growing independent from each other.

Thanks again for the response!

#1 I suspected this was a killer, have always heard never eat an all white mushroom ....on a side note my google search pulled up an interesting result about a fellow who accidentally cooked & ate 3 A. Virosa and lived to blog about it!

How is someone smart enough to get into Cornell but dumb enough to confuse Amanita for ink caps? They aren't even remotely close

Coincidentally enough, I actually had one more specimen to id in this post but ended up leaving it off.  Why?  As an ultra-noob at this, it was the only one I felt confident enough id-ing on my own ...an ink cap!
