bobby b Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 From November 1, no spore print, check out the root that went deep into the stump. Location, PGH PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 One species that comes to my mind is Mycena overholtsii. But, this is a high-elevation springtime mushroom of western North America. Here in eastern PA I find Mycena semivestipes, a cold weather species that has a fuzzy somewhat rooting stalk. But, the gills --at least on mature specimens-- are decurrent. My own collections of mushroom photos feature quite a few Mycena mushrooms that I have not IDed to species. Interesting!

Calvert Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 They look a little too "chunky" to be Mycena, and I wouldn't be certain they're white spored. On the other hand, I don't have a better suggestion. You would definitely have to start by taking a spore print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted December 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thanks for the replies. MO has a few post that show that deep fuzzy rooting in M. overholtsii. I also saw some observations of that in eastern NA on Inaturalist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 in my opinion, it is more likely a very dry Coprinus, so gills didn't turn black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 If they're dried-up Inky Cap Mushrooms, then the genus would be Coprinellus. The hairy rooting stipes seem like an unusual trait for Coprinellus. I think this idea could be verified/unverified by using a microscope.
