Everydaywalk Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Found around, not on stump. Fairly small, turned inky within at day of taking spore print. Very cool mushroom imo. Does anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNY Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Mica Caps, probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Hoover Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 That’s what they look like to me. Those are tasty little mushrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Probably a species in the category Coprinellus section Micacei. These are the "Mica Cap" species of genus Coprinellus. When fresher it's more likely one will observe tiny glistening flakes on the caps. But these often erode away. I see some granules on the one stem. This points toward the species C. micaceus (as opposed to C. truncatus, which has a bald stem). Black spore print supports this ID proposal... although all types of "Ink Cap" mushrooms have black spore print. For a more confident ID proposal fresher material is preferable. Also, although Mica Caps are edible, they probably should not be eaten once the gills darken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
