ok heres the deal...

i found these caps in my aunts abandoned mulch garden, and i just recently looked at a whole lot of pics of the wavy cap which it closely resembles...but i wanted to make sure i wasnt gonna die before i went diving into these bad boys...




habitat-central illinois, mulch garden, and grew in a group of seven or so

gills-grey to dark brown

stem- stems are white and grey in some spots about as big around as a pencil on the smaller specimens {1 1/2 inch caps} and not a whole lot bigger in the larger specimens {1 1/2 to three inch caps}

caps-1 1/2 to three inch caps...light brown color, concave in the middle and wavy around the edges, some specimens wavier than others..smooth texture and a couple of the other specimens are darker brown starting to turn black {i think i found em just in time i think they were about to dry out}

spore print color-spore print color was a rusty to dark brown color with almost a hint of purple

bruises-the mushroom did not wield any visible bruises

scent-it has a very strong repulsive scent

will post pictures if needed

From the sounds of it, not only is it not active, but potentially poisonous.

Anything with a rusty spore print should be avoided, as some with the same color print are known to be deadly or poisonous.

As far as I know cyans (wavy caps) don't grow in Illinois.

Doesn't sound like anything active- you say a rusty/brown print, which shows it isnt active, and could be quite poisonous.

SO don't eat it, you really need a pic if you want a proper ID, but it isnt anything magical which is what your after I'm assuming... :laugh:

ok im kind of a newb here... 

but i just wanted to know if liberty caps have ever been reported growing in illinois or maybe even a relative to the liberty cap, because we have a nature park down here called mcnaughton park and it contains alot of cow and horse pastures and i have found a couple of specimens that closely resembled the mushroom. 

i have read up alot on shroomery.com and im jsut trying to learn, not trying to be a nuissance  :tongue:
