Kotter Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Found these in Virgina backyard. They don't stain when broken and smell like mushroom and slightly of fruit. Stem is hollow but sturdy feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022  Two suggestions for the ID here. 1. Possibly a species of genus Hebeloma. If correct spore print will be brown (probably a somewhat light shade of brown). Most Hebeloma mushrooms have small flaky scales on the upper stalk surface. I can't tell if this is the case here, the photos don't resolve quite well enough. Hebeloma is a large genus (lots of species), at least some are toxic. The most common Hebeloma species tend to smell like radish, but a few types have a sweet saccharine-like odor. 2. If the spore print is white then these may be a species of Lyophyllum, probably something from the L. decastes species group. These type mushrooms grow in cluster, usually in open areas. The general appearance is quite variable within this species group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
