BastedBrew Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hello again all. Another possible new species (for me) in my woods. They fruited recently, probably over the weekend judging by the maturity. Mixed hardwood (oak/cherry/boxelder) among leaf litter and general decomposing wood bits. They spawned right on top of what was a pretty good patch of Clitocybe Nuda/Purple blewits about 3 weeks ago. Is it possible for both species to fruit in the same 20 foot area? There are -lots- of these, and 90% of them are in clusters like what's pictured. Odor: fragrant but more like your common grocery store mushroom. Bruising: beige to slightly yellow. Texture: smooth, firm cap. somewhat brittle fibrous stem. Spore color: in process (update, pinkish to peach, see below reply) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yes it's possible for many varieties of mushrooms to sprout in close proximity to each other. Not sure what you have here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastedBrew Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Spore print is pinkish to peach. Taste not distinctive, not bitter or peppery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Might be some closely related type of clitocybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 You might consider lepista irina. Search for my post a while back, read input and see pics. They seem to fit the characteristics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastedBrew Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Are the irinas always that big? Jeez! I left mine out at room temperature overnight and didn’t notice anything different other than some oxidization on the cut stems. I originally reported this as “bruising” but I think I was wrong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I like the C. subconnexa idea here. Spore print looks a little rich for C. irina. C. subconnexa has a sorta medicinal/metallic taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
