shroombob Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 These started popping in the yard on very old wood chunks (rotting) in one of the shadiest corners of the yard. Just recently getting into identifying mushrooms but my best guess is a Galerina Marginata. Anyone have thoughts? I didn't take a photo of the spore print but it was rusty brown like the base of the stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Falcone Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 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.

shroombob Posted October 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 @Jeff Falcone Thanks for the pointer towards a cortinarius species. I'll plug that into the google images bucket. I've been clearing them out, my dogs eat anything, but I may leave one or two to watch the full growth cycle and get a better print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
