    #9387598 - 12/07/08 07:48 PM (15 years, 3 months ago)

Habitat: These were all found in a grassy area. So soil/grass in southern CA. I did not see any wood chips or anything like that nearby, they were found on an uncut lawn in front of a house. (ie watered daily) Temperature has been moderate in this area 50-60 at night and highs of 75-79.

Mushroom 1:

It looked white, not positive.

Cap:

Light green/yellow, small (10mm), conical, convex.

spore prints are one of the most neglected feature when identifying mushrooms, and sadly, one of the most important.

Picked a half hour ago, they're on paper in a box right now (at 75*F) They should be done by tomorrow morning. I will post them.

On the subject, are the rest of my descriptions OK? I used the pics to augment my poor descriptive ability.

EDIT:
Could Mushroom 2 be Agaricus californicus?

Update: Prints added for 4 of them. Will be adding the rest as they come. I may have botched the print for #2, when I went to pick it up, it slid off the needle and smudged the print.

1) Agaricus sp.
2) Agaricus sp.
3 - 4) Bolbitius vitellinus
5) Maybe Psathyrella
6) Maybe Agrocybe or Tubaria

Still, psathyrella seems most likely for #5. Kudos for the proper focusing in those pics :thumbup:
