Prairie Fairy Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 I love looking at everyone's mushroom finds, here are some of mine from this past weekend. I am very amateur identifier, but trying to get better. Photos 1-3 and MAYBE photo 4, Amanita Thiersii Sprouting all over the place in lawns after a heavy rain (following period of drought), especially in fairy circles. If you touch them they leave your hands covered with the sticky shaggy stuff covering them. Tried and tried to find a perfect fairy circle, but only partials. 1. 2. 3. 4. Looks different? Maybe something else? Found in same area 5. Another fairy circle mushroom: I THINK: Agaricus Campestris - Field Mushroom Love the pink gills, used this one to make my first spore print, turned out very defined and dark brown 6. Possibly Fomitopsis Pinicola - Red Belted Conk, growing on a Mimosa tree stump 7. Similar but different, growing on a old oak stump maybe: Ganoderma Lucidum 8. Cute, but don't know what they are 9. Same. Also love the pink hue on the top of this mushroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamilleR Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Number 4 is probably Chlorophyllum molybdites. 9 looks like Leucoagaricus americanus. Very nice photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Fairy Posted August 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I think you are right on the money with 4 and 9. I looked back on a photo I took of the same spot of mushrooms from last year and further supports Chlorophyllum molybdites. Thank you for the great suggestions. Not that I eat any of these mushrooms but looks like a lot of poisonous ones cropping up in lawns right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
