Mushroom ID in Southeast Georgia
    #5928138 - 08/03/06 09:56 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Habitat: Found in an open field, with cow manure. As there were a lot of mushrooms collected that night, I'm not sure whether these were stemming from manure.
Gills: White; open.
Stem: White (with some slight brown), 4 to 5 inches
Cap: White and brown; like a slightly toasted marshmellow; about an inch across (the other ones I have vary in size).
Spore print color: Off-white with slight traces of dark. After 10 hours, very few spores have collected on the paper.
Bruising: No color change was observed.
Location: Picked in eastern Georgia.
Scent: Nothing abnormal/Normal mushroom scent

Both of these mushrooms have the same features, minus the seemingly inverted cap on #1. I decided to post both of them just in case it helps anyone with identifying.

It also should be mentioned that these were a tad dry when the picture was taken.

Looking at this post, I think they may be in the same family.

I've also found something online that may point it to being Amanita muscaria var. formosa. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Definitely not an Amanita? How can you be sure?

The more common pictures of Amanita muscaria I see on the web shows them as being red, but the variation formosa seems very close in coloration and description.

There's a picture in this description that looks extremely close.

Neither of your mushrooms A. muscaria of any variation.

You may be correct about them being the same species. All your pics seems to be one species.

I couldn't tell you what it is. Possibly a Lepiota...I don't know.

For now, we'll assume it's poisonous. It is definitely not A. muscaria or any other active mushroom.

Just for learning purposes, how can you tell it's not an active mushroom? I find great interest in knowing the defining characteristics of active mushrooms.

Most bruise blue, have gills, and drop a purplish/black/brown spore print. Those are just the basic guidelines so don't go eating any ol mushroom b/c of it. Amanitas M are pretty easy to ID expecially if it is the classic red with white worts.

It simply doesn't look anything like it. in more detail:

  • Color of the spores, Amanita has WHITE spores.
  • Size, Amanita muscaria is a more massive mushroom.
  • Color of the stem, Amanita muscaria has WHITE stem.
  • Location: Amanita muscaria is a mycorrhizal mushroom, which means a host tree has to be present somewhere in the vicinity.
  • Amanita muscaria has a universal veil, your mushroom lacks one

Maybe a sterile lepiota - the scaling seems like Psiclops is on the money.
