SaraFox Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hello! Newbie to mushrooms, but I'm finding them interesting, so I'd like to learn more about them. I'd like to start simply with the mushrooms found in my backyard. Honestly, I find it hard to identify them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Likely one of the following: Panaeolina foenisecii, species of Panaeolus, species of Psathyrella. Photos are a bit unfocused. It would be best to collect/photograph the entire mushroom. Also, spore print color would help. Take the print on both white and black backgrounds (non-porous surfaces). My guess is Panaeolina foenisecii. Although, there may be types of mushroom that grow in Romania that I never see here in eastern North America.

Dave W Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think these are Panaeolina foenisecii http://www.mushroomexpert.com/panaeolus_foenisecii.html . Also called Panaeolus foenisecii and Psathyrella foenisecii. Spore print for this type mushroom is very dark purplish-brown... not quite black. The difference between the dark foenisecii print and black is best seen by viewing a think spore print taken on a black surface. The difference from black is seen as a subtle contrast with the black background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
