J贸hannes Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Found these two mushrooms in a field - close to pine- and birch trees and separate from each other. Identification app gives different result every time I try to identify, some lethal outcomes and some edible ones and some that cause hallucinations. Most common the "Split Fibrecap", also known as Inocybe Fastiagiata. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 It's a species of a genus housed in Family Inocybaceae聽聽http://inocybaceae.org/聽. Up until recently, there was one genus, Inocybe. An effort headed by American mycologist Brandon Matheny proposes that Inocybe be split apart into several genera, as seen in the linked article. Regarding the specific mushroom pictured, it looks like what had been called Inocybe fastigiata in old field guides (North American). According to Index Fungorum, the old species name Inocybe fastigiata in a modern context refers to聽any of 34 different taxa!聽http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp聽. All but two聽of these (relatively)聽newly named species are聽now housed in genus Pseudosperma. Two聽species are聽placed into genus Inosperma. None of the current species names is "fastigiata"!聽 I can say from experience that these little guys with the shiny caps that tear apart radially as they mature are a tricky group. On my own 4 acre property here in Pennsylvania USA I have collected at least two different species that look pretty much like the mushrooms seen here. How did I know the species were different? The shapes of the spores were not the slightest bit similar.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
