LostInSpac3 Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Rainy day, mostly drizzle and still no sun, very humid out and not overly hot. The little guy in the photos was there, marked within 1 inch by a small branch. I returned to see its progress about an hour after my last inspection. After close inspection, have found no noticeable trace of the mushroom. I presume it could have been eaten, although after a recent cutworm problem insects in my lawn are a rarity. Knowing some species do have brief life cycles, wanted your thoughts on the likely species. I assume it to be a Parasol, Gymnopus or Marasmiaceae.

Dave W Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Maybe a species of Mycetinis. This genus is housed within the Family Marasmiaceae. A slug could have claimed it, although 30 minutes seems like pretty quick work for a slug. In rainy weather mushrooms can decay very quickly.
