Hoping the Stars Align... (Identification Request)
    #26584610 - 04/07/20 06:24 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

I've been through lists, and by pictures and the somewhat vague spore prints (for my eyes at least, pics included), I haven't *quite* been able to nail this down with my limited experience in terms of hunting (despite experience with indoor grow-kits and certainly the friendly acquisition and usage there of, lol).

While I found one lighter colored mushroom and a tanner, teeny baby that was too packed/fragile for me to grab) growing out of a Yellow Poplar's base (the larger one's gills were super purple/dark), the rest of the included pictures were all found in the same area, on the ground, in a park...


Habitat:

Found in North Georgia, about an hour north of Atlanta, just two days ago. In a park, "off the beaten path", and most were growing out/off of wood chips in nearby thatches of weeds and grass. Though near a new pine, the chips are more likely a poplar or spruce. Some spores must have blown inward and made their way into the park's grass, but most of those were blackened, which has me worried a tiny bit about pesticides in the park, although it may also just be because they were in the sun and unprotected.








Gills:



I'm color blind, so this is hard for me personally to call.

Stem:



Most aren't much more than 0.5 to 2 inches tops. The little guys were rather fragile, most when pulled were either on top of a wood chip, or the mycelium didn't go down too deep into the surface, as I wasn't able to see if they had the dreaded bottom piece to denote poisonous, but really don't think there's any concern about that, as I went back and dug around the burned out ones, and 9 out of 10 led to a wood chip under the dirt, or above it, and had no bulbous/cup base.


Cap:
Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.

The largest was every bit of 2 inches, and the smallest was pretty small, as I probably could have let the get larger -- 3-4/8ths an inch maybe? They started out brownish/tan, for certain. Their fallen brothers and sisters were blackened.

Spore print color:




So, if you're easily influence by other people's opinions on color, maybe don't read this part, lol. 3 friends saw grey (one said "brownish grey"), 2 saw purple/grey.


Bruising:

Forgot to bruise them to check, :frown:


Other information:

They smell very similar to those I've had in the past, so an earthy, almost petting zoo odor.


So, any verdicts? I plan on indoor cultivation, but discovering them in their environment would be special.

"50% of species produce fruiting bodies that dissolve into ink-like ooze when the spores are mature via autodigestion"

Hmm, these aren't doing that. No ooze, lol. Just dried regular mushrooms (shrinking, of course, as they lose moisture). And even the dead in the grass and nearby didn't seem slimy, just dried up.

"no distinctive smell"

These are smelly verging on pungent, leaning towards a clean petting zoo.

"50% of species produce fruiting bodies that dissolve into ink-like ooze when the spores are mature via autodigestion"

that would mean there are at LEAST 50% of fruits that don't, right? these are those.

Also, all mushrooms start to smell bad as they degrade. When these were fresh they likely wouldn't have smelled.

I'm 100% confident of my ID.

I cooked some up after hearing of a few people saying they loved them...boiled em for 5-10 minutes then sent em to a skillet and carmelized them in a drip of oil and some butter added a pinch of salt and threw them on top of a baked potato with cheese and they were actually delicious :cheers:
