Mysterious mushrooms from rural Russia
    #23739772 - 10/15/16 11:26 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hi there!  I was recently on the remote Russian island of Kizhi, where I spotted about 5 different kinds of mushrooms, including these two here.  Apologies in advance for the inadequate pictures -- at the time I took them, I didn't know about the important features of mushrooms to capture for ID purposes -- but I will probably never visit that island again in my life, so they'll have to do. :smile:

Mushroom #1
I suspect this is an aging hygrocybe conica, but would like a second opinion, if possible



Habitat:
Growing on grass lawn on an island with clusters of deciduous and coniferous trees nearby ; Kizhi, Russia (latitude: 62 N); altitude: 41 m/135 ft ; September-October 2016

Gills:
Yellowish-green or grey ;  unknown if attached/detached to stem ; hanging from cap in curled "ribbons"

Stem:
Approx. 1.5 inches long, .5 inch diameter ; yellowish-green with brown vertical striations

Cap:
Approx. 2 inches in diameter ; shiny black cap -- black outer layer covering lighter flesh ; conical/umbonate shape ; appears dry to the touch ;

Spore print color:
Unknown

Bruising:
Unknown

Other information:
The mushroom I photographed was not the only one of its kind -- it was one of maybe 3-4 individual mushrooms of the same appearance, growing in a line with about 6" apart from each other (in the second picture above, you can vaguely see another similar mushroom in the top left corner). 


Mushroom #2

I was told by a science librarian that this is an earthstar mushroom, but I don't think it is, because it lacks the pointed nipple beak of an earthstar, and its "petals" are too irregular.  Apologies again for the crappy picture!



Habitat:
Growing on grass lawn on an island with clusters of deciduous and coniferous trees nearby ; Kizhi, Russia (latitude: 62 N); altitude: 41 m/135 ft ; September-October 2016

Gills:
Unknown ; none visible

Stem:
None visible

Cap:
Approx. 1 inch in diameter ; smooth, unblemished white spherical puffball

Spore print color:
Unknown

Bruising:
Unknown

Other information:
When I first saw this out of the corner of my eye, my immediate thought was that someone had dropped a hardboiled egg on the ground.  There was nothing like it growing directly nearby, but I saw a few other puffball mushrooms growing elsewhere on the island.

Thanks!

I was gunna say that #1 looks like old beat up Hygrocybe, but I see you got that.
