BigGameHunter Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Good morning, Found these a week or so ago in south-central Pa. The closest I can come with is Coprinopsis variegata but what I’ve read about it is it grows on dead wood or wood chips. The nearest tree was probably 15 yards away & there wasn’t any wood chips nearby either. Any ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McDermott Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Maybe Coprinopsis atramentaria var. squamosa, which appears to be a 'scaly cap' var. of the Alcohol inky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Interesting suggestion, Matt. I had not been aware of the scaly-cap variety of C. atramentaria. Mushroom Expert mentions it. I would not eliminate C. variegata because there's no visible wood. They could be growing from buried wood. However, the scales look a bit small for C. variegata. Coprinopsis romagnesiana is another possibility to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
