yes

one of the blushing Amanita. I'm not sure what we're calling them these days. Maybe something like amerirubescens group

not anymore. Those are puff balls. Lycoperdon perlatum or similar. They are edible when they are pure white inside, but once spores start to form they will make you sick. Once they turn brown on the outside they are well sporulated

that mushroom is not a polypore. It quite clearly has gills

How many mushrooms are pictured. Looks like three? Bottom 2 are Amanita. Top one maybe a Russula, but I'm not sure. If you make one post per mushroom you will get better answers. It's kind of confusing which pictures go together

Thanks Dave! Plausible hypothesis for sure

I was thinking that the small amounts of latex were due to the mushrooms being very dry, but you're definitely right that the latex would be leaving brown stains. Should have caught that. Definitely not L. corrigus

I was thinking it looks like Leucoagaricus leucothites, but I can’t get past the dark edges of the gills. There also looks like dark colored dust on the stipe, that I was attributing to spores, otherwise I would have dismissed the discoloration of the gills more easily. What do you think is going on with the black/brown on the gill edges and on the stipe? Mold or something?

Possibly L. corrigus It would be a lighter than usual color, but otherwise it matches well including the faint fishy odor

Any notable smell? I'm thinking maybe one of the agaricus species that don't have a pink gill phase - A. augustus for example. It doesn't quite fit A. augustus because the cap isn't scaly I'm very interested. Those dark spores on white detached gills are an unusual sight for me. The only mushrooms I can think of with dark spores on sometimes white gills are agaricus. Can't wait to see where this one goes.

You’re correct. Definitely not G. frondosa. I just saw these identified recently, but I’m drawing a blank. It will come back to me

These are a cortinarius species. Definitely not G. marginita. Cortinarius is an extremely large genus that can be quite difficult to identify to the species. Some species of cortinarius are toxic.

This mushroom was identified on another forum as B. chippewaensis and I immediately thought of this thread. It was identified by the same person who told me about the pink staining. He seems to be quite familiar with this species and I’ve seen enough of his identification to trust him. Looks very similar to me.

Very cooI! I was having trouble finding that information

Does P. ovoideocystidiata present with rhizomorphs on the base of the stem? I'm reading that this is a fairly unique characteristic
