Can anyone identify these?
    #9840739 -

I've had some trouble posting my pics so their visable.  If you're willing to go an extra step to help id these, please check out the pics in my gallery, in the lbm folder.  there should be about 5 of them.  THANKS!

I need an id on these mushrooms i found.  theres a picture of the patch, it looks like maybe theyre the same kind but different ages? looks like the cap umbrellas out more as it grows and theres more of the  brownish-whitish color on the cap.  can someone help me id these?  Are they the same kind? 

Habitat:
I live just south of San Francisco and found these in open farm land where they board horses. 

Gills:
the gills are all white

Stem:
the stem was between 1 and 3 inches long, dark chocolate brown with a powdery white look at the top, hollow, smooth and kind of wavy.

Cap:
the cap was a dark chocolate brown color, no more than 1 inch diameter, convex with a clear point on the top, turning a lighter brown on the cap with age.

Spore print color:
the spore print was brownish black, but more brown.  it seemed to have a dark purplish tint but it was hard to tell. 

Bruising:
they didnt noticably bruise.

They are indeed all the same species at different ages.

The remind me of Melanoleuca angelesiana, though Nolanea is a possibility as well.

Looks like a good match for Nolanea verna.

The Melanoleuca you mention grows near snowmelt, I think the more common Melanoleuca is M. melaleuca.  I don't think its that genus because of the umbo.

Ahh, yeah you're right.  I've been calling M. melaleuca by the wrong name.  In both cases, however, there is often an umbo.

I think both M. melaleuca and N. verna are both possibilities.  Spore print would tell.

No, not active or edible in the slightest.

good to know...thanks!  after reading up on these, sounds like the nolanea species are not to be messed with at all!

Yea its confusing because the common Melanoleuca is not in mykoweb but the snowmelt one is.  I used to think it was rare to find mushrooms that are not in Mykoweb but now I find them all the time.

Yeah, that is confusing.  Especially since they look so similar.

From when I first found Mykoweb, I was finding mushrooms that weren't on their site.  All the good sites really have only a short list of species.  You have to use many sources to hopefully find a match, and even that is often unrewarding.

I was thinking that but I didn't post it.  I was too tired and scared.  :yawn::twitchy:

1 & 3.  The fear was a joke.  Although I am a bit circumspect when correcting anyone with a ban stick.

I don't disagree that it looks like a Nolanea as well.  As far as the umbo, that is also a common trait of M. melaleuca.

With a ban stick??

Moderators have a ban stick.  Us lowly folk walk in fear and trembling around them.  Hadn't you heard?

It's a joke, CC.  It loses its humor upon explication.

I know what a "ban stick" refers to, but I didn't get it in context.

I'm bad with jokes.  sorry.  :crazy:
