apemanfool Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hello all, I am new to the world of mushrooms, this is my first post here, hope everyone is doing well. I just noticed these growing in my yard in central Florida near the east coast. I don't necessarily plan to eat these particular mushrooms because they seem a lil old and half rotten and somewhat eaten by insects. However I do expect to see more of these as the rainy season approaches here in Florida. I am currently trying to get a spore print, but I don't think these are dropping spores anymore. These feel like they already halfway dried out. There is also quite a bit of white residue on these and around the area they grew out of, not sure what that is either. I have watched a few educational videos on identifying wild mushrooms however if I can't get a spore print then I definitely have no clue... although i was hoping they are some type of psilocybe cyanescens?? If anyone cares to offer any input it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 These are kinda old/shriveled in order for a believable ID proposal. I *think* they are white-spored (low confidence here). If so, then maybe Gymnopus luxurians (or a similar species of Gymnopus). http://www.mushroomexpert.com/gymnopus_luxurians.html Very unlikely a species of Psilocybe. Not even close.

apemanfool Posted March 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Thanks for taking the time to look. I will certainly be keeping my eye out for some fresh ones so I can get a proper spore print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutddicted Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Look like old dried up ringed honey mushrooms I find in the Fall, minus the ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 That's a possibility, trout. Armillaria tabescens, the "Ringless Honey Mushroom". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
