CajunShroomer3578 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Having trouble with this one. Thought it would be pretty simple Maybe Clitocybe or Tricholoma?? Growing on lawn Don’t believe there were any trees ever growing there. White to grayish spores Smells nice. Fresh mushroom odor. Taste mild(small nibble and spit out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbenn Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I was leaning torward Clitocybe robusta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Interesting... No confident proposal at this time. But, I think it's something different than Clitocybe robusta, which has starkly white cap and pale yellow spore print. The pigmented spore print is a nice clue. Maybe something will occur to me?

CajunShroomer3578 Posted October 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I stared at the white paper with print for minutes to make sure I wasn’t missing the yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just busy with family life. Kids are at that age where they require almost all our attention 24/7. Haven’t be out shroomin much. I attempted to bring them once and I received the worst parent award for the amount of bites they received lol. They had fun before the mosquito attacks. We took up crabbing until it cools off Hope all is well on your end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Looms like you've got a budding herpetologist in the family. I have a proposal for your large white mushroom, Leucopaxillus lateritius http://www.mushroomexpert.com/leucopaxillus_laterarius.html . If correct the layer of gill material should be separable from the rest of the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Just to add to the previous suggestion, Clitocybe robusta also typically has a rancid/fetid smell and taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunShroomer3578 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I thought for sure the skinny enrolled margin would have been a key identifying trait. Im too not confident in the Leucopaxllus proposal. I don’t recall the gills being easily removed. And it certainly didn’t smell like tar gas or swamp gas. Lol. I’ve very familiar with swamp gas. Also it says that they are leaf litter decomposers. There were in the middle of the lawn growing out the grass in a large cluster. Sorry I never mentioned this before. Cluster of at least 10-15. Not necessarily a fairy ring but spread out a bit. I no longer have access to the specimens. Long gone with the mower. Maybe……. Clitocybe subconnexa??? Then again there was zero leaf litter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Good point about the habitat (lawn). Cajun, you're correct that Leucopaxillus mushrooms typically grow from mycelium that binds together forest litter... except, here's one I just ran across in a search, L. giganteus. It is said to grow in grassy areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucopaxillus_giganteus I was searching for this species, Macrocybe titans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocybe_titans https://www.mushroomexpert.com/macrocybe_titans.html. Actually, I think this species may be what is seen in the photos. C. subconnexa has a pale pinkish spore print. (For this reason some mycologists place it into genus Lepista.)

troutddicted Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Kids are growing up! In the forest, on the water, living life! Bites are good, strengthens them up Things are good here, hit a good flush this Fall season, stocked up. Winters acommin' and slowly starting to hibernate everything, heading up to the cabin to shut it down for the season... oh how the time flies... waiting for that border to open up and road trip south... oh how I miss life near saltwater during Winter...

CajunShroomer3578 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Ok so I revisited the area where mushrooms were found. I was informed there was a giant live oak there at one time. Very likely these mushrooms were growing among roots left behind. I still don’t have a confident proposal at this time. Hopefully they’ll show themselves again this year. Always next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
