ChefsWild Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I have some Galerina suspicions. Can anyone confirm or deny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 To me they look more like Hypholoma (Naematoloma) fasciculare. Was the spore print reddish brown or purplish brown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsWild Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Neither reddish nor purplish. Just a dark, dingy brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 OK; the color just doesn't look right for G. Autumnalis. The gills seem to have a slight hint of green, which is characteristic of H. fasciculare; but they could be some other eastern NA species that I'm not familiar with. It looks like we need to wait for Dave W to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eat-bolete Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'll second on H. fasciculare even though the spore print doesn't match. Let's see what Dave says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsWild Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Gills definitely greenish. Tops ranged from yellow to dark brown where burned by the sun; more pale yellow when protected under shade. Spore print from multiple specimens very clearly deep brown.

ladyflyfsh Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'd say Hypholoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Looks like Hypholoma to me. The prints for species in this genus are often described as "dark purplish brown". But the purplish component may be subtle. If a print is taken on a black background, the purple tinge may be a bit easier to detect. But for some species the print may simply be dark brown.
