Patch #1 I found by my house. Very small patch. Active?


Patch #2 is by the dumpster at work. Active?




Thought I would get an opinion from you fellas if I should pick them or not for further identification.
Thanks
SS

The first one looks like Agrocybe and the second might be Psathyrella candolleana

Sweet thanks for the info everybody. I'll get a picture of the underside of the patch #1.
They may not be active but finding mushrooms that are any color but white is a win for me! Haha yeah!

Keep it up. Your in the right habitat. What you have looks like Tubaria sp. In the PNW, i typically start seeing theses at and near the end of cyan season. Same habitats. Cyans wont be nearly as fragile and the gills will be noticeably darker with a purple tint. You will also see some bruising (Greenish/blue) on the very edge of the cap on at least one in a group of that many. Also, if you were to just pull them out of the ground like the ones one the picture. It would be much more rooted and bring up wood chips attached to the base. Once you actually feel how cyan's feel in your hands, and how sturdy they are, it will help vastly in determining if you have the right ones. In my opinion only of course.

The last photo is Pholiota spumosa or something close.
How come you are deleting photos? These threads can be helpful to other users in the future.

I'll stop deleting. It's my ocd flaring up when I do that.
I was golfing at a private club in December and saw a perfect wood chip habitat that never got direct sunlight. Under 3 giant conifer trees there was huge patches under each one the size of 1-2 ping pong tables. I didn't have my phone for a picture or a chance to grab some samples because these guys were riding our ass behind us to hurry. I'm dying to know if they were active. Hopefully I'll get invited back soon so I can grab some! It was an unbelievable amount of mushrooms. I wouldn't be surprised if they are actives. Rich guys just walking by them daily not even knowing haha

anytime.
Is a clandestine ninja move on the private club out of the question? May have to take a stroke next time and play it out in that area.

Yes it's right by a par 3 hole with houses all around. The whole course is fenced in and very exclusive so it probably has security as well. Juice not worth the squeeze for me.
