Corvus Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Found on a a dead elm log in a forest in SE WI. White spore print. Conditions here have been more typical of cool early spring weather rather than June weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Posted June 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 One other thing @Dave W, can I ask how you IDed this mushroom? Was it by any chance just off of familiarity alone or did you use a key? I bought Kuo's book as Calvert suggested and this shroom wasn't in it, nor was I able to find it by using Kuo's key to pale spored gilled mushrooms on his website. Is there a better online key you could recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I did a little detective work for this one, looked through the Mushroom Expert species index for names I didn't recognize but which sounded like they may represent a gilled mushroom. Got lucky and ran across Heliocybe sulcata. So, I learned a new species here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
