Cyan? Need ID help
#23885499 - 12/01/16 07:04 PM (7 years, 1 month ago) |

Habitat: Where does it grow? Wood chip flower bed near leratiomyces ceres
Gills: brown, attached
Stem: 1/2 " long, possibly hollow, white
Cap: pale brown/tan dark brown when young, moderately wavy
Spore print color: This is what is tripping me up. I did the print on foil and under all the lights in my house it appears to be blackish purple, but... none of my indoor lighting is that good so I use a LED flashlight on it and it looks dark brown. Now under the flashlight the stem starts to look yellow. WTF? The flashlight gives off a very white light.
Bruising: Blue on stem and edges of cap

Sorry for shitty pics, if you can't see the bruising I promise it's there. Thanks for the help.

I guess it's been stunted or it's a weak patch or something. This is the second time I've found one there the exact same size, all alone. Seems a little short compared to what other people seem to find.

Remember the color shades come out different in pictures when printed on foil. Looks purplish brown and fine to me.

That picture is a little blurry but I think that is a cyanescens.
