Dave from tn. Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Found growing in Tennessee in a hardwood dominant forest.  They are a lot more purple when young. Spore prints are white. The temps have been in the mid 80s with some rain. All comments are greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 These look like Lepista/Clitocyde tarda, a smallish Blewit-like mushroom. I usually don't find this species here in PA until late summer. The spore print for L. tarda is pale beigey-pinkish. If you collect a print on a black background, this print may appear to be white. You need a substantial print on a white background to see the subtle deviation from white. If the print is truly white, then these are likely some (other) species of Clitocybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave from tn. Posted May 20 Author Report Share Posted May 20 Wow that’s neat. The white spores actually do have a hue of pink to them. Dave I can’t thank you enough! You’re a top notch Myco!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
