Central PA ID Request
    #9071514 - 10/13/08 03:16 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

Im trying to identify this as part of a Fungi class project due tomorrow.  This one has me stumped, though.  I have three guides, and cant find something like this in any of them.  I was thinking it was some sort of Lepiota?  Im currently taking a spore print, but dont really have the time to wait for it to finish.

Habitat:
Found on Landscape mulch in Central Pennsylvania.

Gills:
Free, closely spaced slightly off-white gills.

Stem:
4cm long, 0.5cm Diameter, White, texture, hollow, has a ring.

Cap:
4cm Diameter, slightly off-white, brown scales in a spherical pattern, convex (but seems to flatten out as it gets bigger).

Spore print color:
Im still waiting on the spore print

Bruising:
No bruise color

Other information:
Sorry I only have crappy pictures from my cell phone:

Yea its Lepiota.  Not sure what species.  Are you sure its not bruising at all?  How big is it? 

I guess maybe it could be a small C. rhacodes.  Or even molybdites if you want to be really paranoid.

The one pictured is 5cm tall with a cap diameter of 4cm, but I also have a damaged one with half a cap that is 6cm tall.  The taller one's cap is flat and has a diameter of 5cm.

I'm not seeing any bruising when I break pieces off or poke it.  I'm pretty new to all this though, so I may not be injuring it correctly.

Here's a picture I have of all of them:

Once again, I apologize for the poor picture quality.

I was thinking maybe Lepiota americana?

The bottom has a picture VERY similar to mine.

Yes that is probably it, especially if it bruises red/yellow.
