I found these 2 on the outskirts of my apartment complex in lower Seattle. The larger mushroom was found around some mulch with an old, dead tree stump a feet or two away. The mushroom was not attached to the wood, and there were a couple of other similar mushrooms growing within just an inch or 2 of this one. No large trees were within 20 or so feet. The stem was dark brown when I found it, and hasn't really changed color since removal (about an hour ago). I'm taking a spore print now, as the attached pictures may not do any justice.

The skinner mushroom was found in a similar location on mulch, about 100 feet away from the larger mushroom in the picture. A handful of similar mushrooms were growing in the same location, just inches apart. The stem hasn't really changed color since removal either.

As you can tell, I'm pretty new here (I've been lurking daily for only a couple of months).

Thanks for any help in advance, and any criticism is welcome.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. I also found a few of these guys nearby. I'm guessing Conocybe apala possibly.

Still nothin. Try searching for the substrate the mushroom grows from rather than looking randomly for just mushrooms.

If you spot out the substrate youll be more likely to run into something.

Looks like the first post larger one is likely a Tubaria (I haven’t seen any in person yet but it’s getting to be Tubaria season), smaller one could be a few different things that I couldn’t guess without confidence and a Mycena in your second post.

I dunno if it’s just me but it seems like an unspectacular season for actives here in King Co.

This is a great site for everything in the NW-most area of the PNW:

I really appreciate the links to King Co. Haven't ran across this resource before. And yeah, I figured the pics weren't active, but I'm just finding it difficult to identify right now. I chose this location just because mulch had been placed here around 5-10 years ago, and Google earth showed a ton of growth over time. Hopefully this time next year or the year after I can gain a ton more knowledge and start foraging.

I really appreciate the links! Gonna give this a read over Thanksgiving

A lot of the time it’s a crapshoot. Usually when I’m looking, I’m looking in the right environment but trample over them and then realize they’ve been right under my feet. You’ve got the right idea about what “habitats” to keep an eye on but more often than not, for me at least, it’s more happenstance than anything else. There’s been a long held assumption that cyans are often coincident with rhododendrons but I’ve never seen them growing near rhododendrons... A few years ago I swept a bunch of leaf litter and maple copters off my roof into the garden beds below and every corner of the house had cyans growing the following fall. Just seems to be some divine luck or something. Haha.

Yammering... Holiday drinking started early... Anyway, just keep keeping an eye out and you’ll find actives. Just takes opportune conditions and diligence.

This is so true :lol: especially about the rhododendrons

I wonder how many people eat a bunch of Tubaria furfuracea each year thinking they are Psilocybe cyanescens 🤔
