Vjhebert3 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Found on unidentified extremely rotten log under many many other logs. Doubtful that much light could reach them. Most are less than a quarter inch in diameter while the largest are slightly over an inch. Awaiting spore print and will update when complete.

Dave W Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 My guess is the spore print will be either dark purple-brown or pinkish-brown, because I think these represent a species of Psathyrella. Mushrooms form this genus are usually fairly fragile; they break apart easily. Another genus of dark-spored wood-inhabiting mushrooms is Hypholoma. But these types have more resilient flesh than Psathyrellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vjhebert3 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Got a print this morning, spot on Dave. Thank you. I'm gonna call it psathyrella as they are apparently extremely hygrophanous and that doesnt seem to be a common among hypholoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hygrophanous caps... another point favoring Psathyrella. Lots of possibilities for the species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
