Found a small cluster of these today out in the woods. They look active to me, so I picked one and took a few pictures of it. I will describe it the best I can.







Habitat: They were clustered in a soft ant-hill like soil in the woods 15 feet away from a creek. I live near Atlanta, Georgia.

Gills: As you can see, they are dark brown.

Spore print: I Didn't take a spore print but noticed a Dark brown powder on my hands after touching the gills... So I guess the spores are dark brown, the same as the gills.

cap: The first thing I noticed about these mushrooms, is the beautiful golden brown color of them, the cap is rather smooth and slick looking. It is a rather stiff mushroom.

Scent: Musty, and very... Mushroom-like.


Thank you, let me know if you can identify them, I hope they're active... Haven't found anything since last year. If you need more information, feel free to ask.

You should do a spore print on that. As far as we can really tell, it looks like another LBM. Many can share a similar appearance.

A guess is it reminds me of Psathyrella velutina sort of - which also can have that fragile ring like zone on the stem dusted with spores. That's a wild guess. Could be wrong there, but seeing more specimens would help. That one is kind of dried looking.

I was going to say Psathyrella velutina as well. In fact, I have a spore print cooking up right now on some I found today that I was going to post an ID request on.

I've noticed that P. velutina can vary a fair bit in appearance, though they are typically quite beautiful. Also the gills are usually mottled which is something I think of as a panoleus trait more than a psathyrella trait. And it does appear that your pic has some mottling.

I'll post my pics in this post when my spore print is ready if you don't mind, because I think we have the same mushroom.

They do vary yes - the reason I thought of them is there's this area right in my back yard near a creek - velutina grows by the 1000s there every year literally! I get to see them in various stages of growth and I could feel some resemblance just looking at the picture though that one appears to be dry - it's nowhere near a prime specimen.

Hmm, not a good specimen, really?... They're are only a few in that cluster, this one looked ok to me... anyway, I'll go pick another one... or even the rest of them if necessary. In the meantime, here is a picture of... Pretty much the whole cluster.



Looks like they bruise yellow.

Psathyrella is another of the very few genera where the spore mature unevenly on the gill faces, causing mottling.

That sure looks like P. velutina. Probably some molecular biology guy will come along and decide that this species is actually 12 species very nearly indistinguishable from each other.

Happy mushrooming!

Thanks for all the help everybody... I have picked some more and taken some more pictures... But I think it's already been identified. If someone thinks otherwise let me know and i'll post the pictures.

I doubt they're active, but are they edible? Maybe I can at least make a stew out of them... :smirk:

They aren't active, but probably not that great of an edible either. I wouldn't bother.
It's generally not that good of an idea to start eating your finds until you feel confident enough about identification yourself.

Thanks everybody.


... Hope it rains again tonight.

Definately P. velutina. I see them all the time during the warmer months (particularly during weilii season).
