So, as i mentioned in my intro, i recently moved to Oregon. I had, previously, developed a fairly solid understanding of what grew in my neck of the woods in Utah, but I'm not as familiar with things in this new place. Any way, The Mushrooms I'm curious about are mostly growing on shaded mulch piles near the road at my apartment. I first tried making a spore print, as it was one of the primary tools i was introduced to. The spore print came out White (note: i don't have a photo of it, partially because it was on regular lined paper, and the image of fine white spores on white lined paper seemed harder to resolve then my camera was capable of doing.).
I then took note of it's habitat and habit. The mushrooms are growing on aged mulch in an area that receives partial shade from broad-leaf maple trees. The mulch appears to be bleaching. The mushrooms grow in tight bunches, outlining the pattern of major roots from the maple trees that are a few inches deeper in the soil (completely covered by the mulch). You can see the bunching in three of the pictures I posted. I could not find evidence of a volva. The mushrooms seems to have erupted directly from a mycelial matt, which I attempted to photograph. The gills look adnexed to me, but they might be adnate. I dissected a couple of the mushrooms. Larger mushroom caps do not appear to connect to the stem at all, but that could be due to age. The one pictured is a smaller, probably younger mushroom. Caps do not form a consistent shape, in part due to the tightness of the bunching that seems to occur. The get very brown. This is probably due to partial sun exposure. The mushroom does not exude any latex when bruised (from cap or otherwise), but does get quite wet. There is a distinct mushroomy smell. Reading available material, I think these are psilocybe stuntzii mushrooms, but I'm not sure.
