SleepyHouse Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Southeast Texas, a little outside the Houston metro growing in the yard, there are no trees in the yard. Several of these came up overnight. The weather has been in the low 90s in the day and mid-70s at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 This is a species of either Chlorophyllum or Leucoagaricus. Other possibilities are genus Lepiota or genus Macrolepiota. My first guess is Chlorophyllum molybdites, although the mushroom seen in the photos is kinda slender for that species, and the starkly white gills seem wrong. If you collect a spore print on a piece of aluminum foil, that may help with the ID. C. molybdites has a green spore print. The other suggestions all have white spores. Some species of Lepiota are known to be dangerously poisonous. Also, C. molybdites is toxic for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyHouse Posted August 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Thank you so much. Unfortunately this morning all of them were gone or mostly turned unrecognizable when I went to get a print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
