Jaslam Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hi, I was looking for some help identifying this mushroom. Found growing in MA in a lawn. Gills appeared brown to black, though one specimen had pinkish gills (perhaps less mature?). Spores are light/dark brown. They have a noticeable mushroom scent similar to shiitake, though they do not look, or grow, like a shiitake. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShroomGuy Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 I would guess this is in the genus Agaricus or meadow mushrooms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Species of Agaricus, possibly one of the species in the A. campestris group (Meadow Mushrooms). These types have gills that begin pink, turn brown, and then become very dark brown or black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
