ID - Cubensis - North Tropical QLD
    #26826044 - 07/15/20 09:50 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Found in North Tropical Queensland, near a river, next to a hill, not far from the sea.
Seems like these geological features favour their growth even with the nights being a bit on the colder side.

First pics will be of the ones I'm pretty confident about, although ID would still be appreciated since I'm new to these!

Some blur due to moisture on camera, sorry!

TOPS



BOTTOMS



Spore prints (not all dropped them: some were picked dry)



Habitat:
Pasture - cow dung

Gills:
Dark brown (see exceptions)

Stem:
Quite thin on the ones with a flat cap, thicker and sturdier on the ones with convex cap. Not fragile in either case. Hollow, white at the bottom, showing some blueing at the top/on the drier ones.

Cap:
Some flat, some convex. A couple sunburnt. One with spores on top (?).

Spore print color:
Dark purple (see exceptions)

Bruising:
Blue, although drier ones seemed to not blue/were already darkened on the stem. After drying the fresher ones, you could see the they took the same tint as the drier ones. (see exceptions)

EXCEPTIONS

Now these two leave me a bit more worried.
The gills are not as distinctively brown, although I wouldn't say they're white either. I noticed on fresher convex cap specimens that seemed to be a common trait in this area.





Now, the big one doesn't show bruising.. there seems to be some oxidation (?) after a night of just sitting there, but I wouldn't call that bruising (looks almost like it on the snapped bit of the stem?). Although it did drop purple spores and the gills went dark brown.

The small one is bruising a lot and really quick.
Though the gills are definetly very close to white, and it did not drop any spores (too young?). It left little orangey stains on paper towel it was in for a couple hours.

Any input would be appreciated, trying to get good at this :smile:
