VaAngler Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Found these while walking the woods near my house. Growing from some very old dead wood on the ground. They do seem to be growing from the wood. I can certainly provide more photos and other information if needed. Thanks for your help!!

Dave W Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I think these are Galerina marginata http://www.mushroomexpert.com/galerina_marginata.html. G. marginata is a deadly poisonous species. The mushrooms contain amatoxins. Spore print for this species is rusty brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaAngler Posted December 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yikes I believe you're right! Thank you for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 To gain/lose confidence in the G. marginata ID, microscopic properties of the spores would be helpful. But when G. marginata looms as a possibility, it's best to keep this thought in the forefront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
