  1. Can you get any better images of the entire stalk and perhaps a sliced down the middle image. If it is a Gymnopus, could be recreationally edible or deadly. better be sure on this one. http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~5978~gid~~source~gallerydefault.asp Also resembles these galarina autumnails = Deadly https://www.erowid.org/plants/show_image.php?i=mushrooms/safe-pik_galerina_autumnalis1_lg.jpg
  2. Thanks for the recommendation. I am a beginner and I would like to first learn vocabulary related to mushrooms (parts of the mushroom). Included?
  3. I belive the others, the "lawn mushrooms" were http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~6566~source~gallerychooserresult.asp
  4. Have been finding many Coprinus mushrooms on my farm in central Iowa this week. Lots of rain and heat! Here is a nice bisected image of what I believe is coprinus quadrifus. Cool story about it is that is used to be "medicinal" given to people who drank to much to make them sick.
  5. Very nice! I will go home and take another photo today. It looks like it is very distinctive in its maturity so hopefully that will help. And yes, the stalk was scaly.
  6. I was walking through my farm in rural central Iowa when I began to notice all of these tiny brown heads poking through my lawn. I do have livestock on the farm but they are about 50 yards away. as I looked at the majority of mushrooms. They all had the very same characteristics; long thin tubular brown stem with no veils or twists. small brown cap with dark gills that left a dark brown spore print. The stem showed no signs of bruising when damaged. I assume these are just the common "lawn mushroom". The mushroom that caught my attention was this fella. growing among the previously described was this mushroom. It is larger, about double the size of the others. It has a much more stout stalk that has some distinct twists. It has a staggered gill structure meaning that every other gill stopped half way across the cap and the others went all the way in to the stem. The spore print was a dark brown.
  7. In Central Iowa, I found this growing independently in my compost. It was growing directly out of a dung clump from our dairy cow. It has a smokey bluish gray cap that almost looks powdery. It was fragile. The spore print was a dark purple to black. Hollow stem. No defining features when damaged or bruised. Found it after about 5 days of rain, then 1 very sunny, humid day.
