  1. I think that was a nice call on the L. percevalii; the print is dark purplish-brownish. I can't find much on edibility or medicinal use, but it doesn't matter since most of the mushrooms were at the end of their time and already nibbled by critters. I need to find a better way to print, I usually smudge it when I lift up the cap. I'm thinking maybe inserting a toothpick or a paperclip through the cap could make it easier to lift without it teetering or sliding. Here it is anyway, and thanks again for the ID.
  2. Hello all, I'm in North Idaho now (was in Tx where I got a panaeolus identified on these forums.) I had occasion to walk around town today and took notice of some mushrooms I can't identify. The white one was growing in a bed of what I think is ivy or some kind of creeper plants. It was mostly buried, but a gentle tug made it come unstuck pretty easily. The other was first sighted and picked near a flowing creek, right near a set of apartment buildings. Further along in a park, I found loads of them growing in mulch beds. At least, I believe they are the same. For the yellow/gold mushroom, I am taking a spore print, so if it can't be ID'd maybe it will help. Thank you!
  3. Thanks Dave, I appreciate it. Neat, a Panaeolus. I looked that up and it looks like an exact match. I picked one from an earlier flush about a month ago, but when I went to lift the cap to reveal the print, two maggots (or some sort of larvae) had emerged and more or less ruined it. Was thinking of saving the print and attempt growing it as a fun project for me and my kid, but I'll hold off as this isn't edible.
  4. Hello everyone. I found these and am very curious as to what they are. Area is southeast Tx, Houston area near the Gulf of Mexico. Growing out of mulch surrounding a tree planted in the late spring of last year. I can't identify the tree, but I know it is not a conifer. Temps were in the low to mid 60s(f) and there had been a good deal of rain and very high humidity. Smells like an edible button mushroom you find at a grocery store, only stronger. I didn't notice any bruising. Spore print is black, could be called jet black or even inky black. Grew in a cluster (troop?). Sorry for the pic quality, I didn't realize they were so bad when I took them. Might be helpful but not sure: there are several newly planted trees in the complex I live at, and this is the only tree I've seen with these mushrooms growing out of the surrounding mulch. They are on the south side of the building, away from any shade.
