Identification of Mushroom with Grey Cap
    #8008455 - 02/11/08 11:43 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Hi People:

Just found a mushroom that looks like PC, but not like anything I've seen. It is small with a relatively grey cap. It's growing in a soil-less media used for potting plants. Any ideas?

Those are so cute, but they are not Psilocybe cubensis. It is hard to tell at such a young age but they are probably some sort of Lepiota. Take some pictures when they are a bit older and also attempt to get a spore print.

Looks like its growing out of soil from a pot. Whats in the pot?

Yeah, I was also thinking maybe something Lepiotoid, but like you say, too hard to tell at this stage of development.

Bogey, when they get bigger and the caps open up, get some more photos and take a spore print.

Bogey, wait until the caps expand a little bit, and then make a spore print.

To me they might resemble Inky Caps (Coprinus).

If that is the case, the mushrooms might turn into a black goo before the mushroom caps could be spore-printed.
