I didn't say active pans only grow on hpoo, I said I have only seen cinctulus on hpoo, along with 3 look alikes. There are active grass Panaeolus, but I haven't seen any yet from grass that have an angular germ pore in oblique view. The need for further study of grass dwelling active Panaeolus is the reason I decided to focus my efforts on this Genus. 

If,  any of you would like to contribute to my studies,  I'm looking for collections from both dung and grass substrates from locations worldwide. Requirements are:
1. In situ, clear, up close photos showing the Cap surface, gills and the stipe including the stipe base. Sent to me in a private message.
2. Your user name
3. Location (nearest city or town)
4. Observation date
5. substrate

All specimens collected should be handled as little as necessary to preserve as much detail as possible. All specimens received will be examined microscopically and measurements of each taxonomic structure performed.  If,  you create an identification request, then send me the link in a pm with the in situ photos, I will come back to the thread after I receive them and post my measurements as well as any pictures I take through the microscope eye piece.

Remember, when taking in situ photos,  cast your shadow over the mushroom(s), direct light can obscure important taxonomic characteristics necessary for proper identification. If you look at the picture your planning to submit and you can't see everything clearly,  I won't be able to see it either!!!. All specimens received will be added to my herbarium for future reference and sequencing. After my journey through this life is complete,  my herbarium will be donated to the University of Florida .

  Sweet, I’m excited to contribute whatever I can to this effort! I feel like this should be made into a separate post..

I will pursue this more once my situation improves at home,  I've been caring for my elderly parents over the last year. My step father (my dad to me) passed 26 September  and my mom contracted necrotizing fasciitis and synergistic Gangrene 2 weeks later, so I don't have a lot of time right now but that will change and when it does, I will dive in whole. Heartedly. Also, my daughter is battling cancer and my oldest sister is dying from alcohol induced end stage liver failure. 2020 was the worst yet!!!

Edit: Those you whom are daily drinkers and think you don't have a problem because you manage to hold a job, my sister thought the same thing and is dying from her daily intake,  but still denies she's an alcoholic, you are an alcoholic and you can get help before its to late. My sister didn't show any signs until it was to late,  don't let it happen to you!!!
