name that mushroom -- virginia, usa -- lots of detailed pics.
    #7651598 -

Hi, I%u2019m sam. Ive never had experience with mushrooms but I%u2019m very curious. When a big patch of mushrooms showed up in my friends backyard I photographed, picked, and then wrapped up some samples in newsprint. I wanted to check to see if these are any sort of 'magic mushroom'. I'm new to terminology, so I tried to take some really detailed shots.

Habitat: Norfolk, Virginia, USA. Found  November 17th in  a friend%u2019s backyard. We've been having moisture/rain lately, on and off... This was just in her lawn and extending down a slope which leads to a creek. Its funny because the mushrooms actually made a path to our favorite smoke spot down there. :smile:


MUSHROOM #1
     










* Characteristics of the gills: color as seen in photos, deep brown and dusty black. gills dont really touch the stem and caps are easily removed from the stem.
* Characteristics of the stem: tan color, hollow, stringy but a little tough.
* Characteristics of the cap: yellow tan color. some are nipple shamed. slight slight slight curl under.
* Spore print color (very important!): In the process of making these!
* Color that the mushroom bruises: darker greyish brown.
* Scent of the mushroom: weird, earthy, organic... I can't really explain it.


MUSHROOM #2







* Characteristics of the gills: once I removed the cap I kinda had to turn it inside out to get a look at the gills. They're smooth, fluffy (well, they feel like bird feathers), somewhat densly packed. They are a deep brown. They arent attached to the stem.
* Characteristics of the stem: flimsier than mushroom #1. very stringy, tan colored, hollow.
* Characteristics of the cap: deep brown, a little black. tightly turned under at the edges. 
* Spore print color (very important!): Im making spore prints right now. I%u2019ll update when theyre ready
* Color that the mushroom bruises: tan bruises darker tan :/
* Scent of the mushroom: a little musty/natural/organic like I said before.
* Anything else you might find important: they're so cute I couldnt stop taking photos of them :p

MUSHROOM #3






* Characteristics of the gills: deep deep brown almost black
* Characteristics of the stem: light tan when picked, stringy, hollow, bruise to a darker tan.
* Characteristics of the cap: rounded or flattened out, edges curled under
* Spore print color (very important!): I%u2019m making spore prints right now. I%u2019ll update when they%u2019re ready
* Color that the mushroom bruises:
* Scent of the mushroom
* Anything else you might find important

Species one and two are http://www.mushroomexpert.com/lacrymaria_velutina.html

Species three might be older specimens of the same species.

The magic mushrooms that grow in your area are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_ovoideocystidiata and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnopilus species.

According to Species Fungorum the current name is Lacrymaria lacrymabunda. cactu, they were Psathyrellas for awhile, so it's appropriate to think of them still as Psathyrellas.

Happy mushrooming!
