Dansnow Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Just browsing though last years photos and came across this one i was not able to ID. I Found a number of fairly large clusters of these in the grass in my yard last fall. There are maple trees and a maple stump 10-15 feet from where the mushrooms were growing. Appreciate any help.

Dave W Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I believe these are young specimens of Hypholoma lateritium (H. sublateritium in older field guides, aka. "Brick Cap Mushroom"). The gills are very pale as seen in the photos. But, if my ID is correct, then as the mushrooms matured the gills would have turned gray, and then eventually very dark gray. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/hypholoma_sublateritium.html The ones seen here are probably growing from buried wood.

Dansnow Posted April 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thanks a lot Dave! I do believe the gills darkened as they aged. Hopefully they come back this year and I can make a positive ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
