a walk down Main St

[AlBo]

I am a newby, but I am fairly certain that this is a Shaggy Mane (coprinus comatus).

[AlBo]

This mushroom, found in the same patch of grass next to the sidewalk I believe is (coprinopsis atramentarius). I should have mentioned before. These were both spotted in lawn grass (you might have noticed).

[AlBo]

I dont have a guess for this one, but the white cap and white gills have me thinking non edible. (Found near the others in the same patch of grass.)

[AlBo]

I am not sure what kind of tree that this cluster was found on, so I attached a photo of the foliage. (I would love to ID the tree) I am taking a guess and calling this (pholiota jahnii) --- non edible ?

[Dave W]

Firts two IDs --Coprinus comatus and Coprinopsis altramentarius-- look good to me.

Third collection --the white mushrooms with what appears to be white gills-- maybe a species of Leucopaxillus. Were there any trees near where these were found? Are the gills white? Gill attachment? Need to see the undersides of the mushrooms. With species of Leucopaxillus the layer of gills is easily separated from the rest of the cap. Also, knowing spore print color would be helpful. Clitocybe is another possible genus for these mushrooms.

The cluster of mushrooms in the 4th collection does look like a species of Pholiota. I'm not familiar with the species name P. jahnii. But an internet search turned up photos... mainly from eastern Europe it seems. So I'm wondering if this is a species not recorded in North America. Spore print color would be helpful here.

[AlBo]

Thanks Dave. I just notice that you can probably tell apart the mushrooms that I thought were appetizing from those that I thought not by the number of pictures and details captured. I am working on the spore print on the pholiota and I will gather more info on the white ones later. Thanks again!

[Dave W]

One thing AlBo, some Pholiotas are sickeners, and getting a Pholiota collection to species with a high level of confidence can be quite challenging.

[AlBo]

Thanks for the advice Dave. You have a wealth of knowledge and I am thankful for what you share...... I went back to the white cap. Gills attached and white. Clumped. I am working/waiting on a print..... back to the pholiota- print was weak but l looks brown. (I am colorblind so it could be reddish. I would ask my wife but she isn't here.) Ill just post it(bottom).

[AlBo]

Oh yea, there were trees right near the white cap. The tree was a hard wood (same as pholiota host). I did attach a photo of the foliage, because I am unsure of the species.

[Dave W]

Print looks to be brown. I'd say Pholiota is a pretty good bet.

The white ones look pretty old. The pink gills suggest that the color may be due to spore production. Here's a proposal: Clitocybe subconnexa.

[Cedric]

I agree with the first 2: Coprinus Comatus and Atramentarius. As Dave says, the last looks like a Pholiota. Number 3 could be many different things, so better pics, side-view and gills as well as smell would help.

Cheers,
