PNW ID Request- P. Allenii?
#20813919 - 11/09/14 12:23 PM (9 years, 3 months ago) |

Habitat: Found in a mulched bed about three feet away from a similar bed that I know has Cyans growing in it. Some of the mushrooms were found under long & drooped, dewy grass- this is really the only difference between the beds.
Gills: Light to tan in the smaller individuals to brown in the larger ones.
Stem: 1-2 inches at most, fairly slender and rigid.
Cap: From less than .5in wide to almost 2 in the largest of the caps. Flat or somewhat rounded downward.
Spore print color: I took a spore print out of curiosity of one of these guys yesterday when I was checking out the cyan flush next door, and it came back just as dark and purple as did a print from the cyan patch (pic included further down). I went back today to pick the more mature caps after seeing the print, and I'm currently taking a print of a large cap from what I gathered today.
Bruising: There is a faint blue color to the bruising.
Other information:


 ^ Mushroom in question on the left, known Cyan on the right.
I'm thinking I stumbled onto a patch of P. Allenii, any thoughts?

Three feet away from cyans? Nah those are cyans. Allenii are much lighter usually. Given that there Is cyan that close. If for sure call it the same species. I know we see cyans next to allenii but usually it's pretty easy to tell the differences. Fresh nice specimens (pics) would really help.

Well, the beds themselves are separated by about a yard (both 10'X 2' or so in size), I guess the mushrooms were found further away from each other than I made it sound. Compared to the cyans I found yesterday the stems are a touch thicker, and none of them exhibit any sort of waviness in their pileuses. I only took a crappy in situ photo of one with my phone this morning (suspected P. Allenii)

Here's a little pin from the neighboring bed, didn't take any pictures of what I picked when they were fresh.

You are a mod - you don't need to ask, you can just puppet check.
Definitely P. allenii.

The larger mushroom in the upper left of 2nd photo definitely settles the case. It's allenii for sure. It looks identical to the ones I picked last year. It does get tricky to tell the difference when they dry/fade to the same tan as cyans.

You chimed in on a three year old post. It is likely you have them. Make a new ID request.
