dualsetters Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Found these Lepista personata I believe . Maybe Clitocybe savea or one of the other classifications I don't know. Anyhow they were right outside my back door and upon getting a few I found some imposters mixed in. I didn't identify them, but they looked the same in the grass and were only growing a few feet away. The spore print is so similar it's almost unnoticeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hey I found the same kinds together a few days ago. I also spore printed them to be sure which both were flesh coloured spore prints. Awaiting input too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dualsetters Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Sounds like an epidemic lol I didn't put too much time into them , but don't recall noticing them in any of my books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vault Dweller Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I believe this are Lepista nuda which can easily match some clitocybes. I found a few of these under conifer duff last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ok, when in doubt throw it out, I did, after I cooked them up along with the other true blewits, i was worried they might be entolomas mixed in. I see blewits past their prime and this confuses me. So I hope next time to only pick up ones that are young and purplish with fat stipes and no cortinas.

dualsetters Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 The only difference I can find between these and L. nuda is these grow in the grass. Any of the wood blewits I've found have been around hard woods. I believe Lepista nuda is also classified as Clitocybe nuda . I havent eaten many blewits yet. I'm in doubt unless I see a pink sporeprint from every mushroom. The first I collected had a couple corts mixed in I believe and it wasn't very obvious until I looked at pictures I had taken. The gills reflected the light different and stood out in the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I believe the smaller/thinner ones are Lepista tarda (aka Clitocybe tarda, aka L. sordida). This species is common in grassy areas in fall. The robust ones look like Blewits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
