Another Mushroom ID Request


Recommended Posts

Very likely a species within the Pluteus cervinus cluster. The spore print should be salmon-pink. However, poisonous Entoloma mushrooms also have salmon-pink spore prints (and some occur during spring). The gills seen in the photos appear to be free of the stipe, which supports the Pluteus proposal. Entoloma mushrooms often have sinuate gill attachment, which means the gills are attached to the stipe very thinly, and may break away from the stipe. 

When in doubt about Pluteus vs. Entoloma, viewing the spores through a microscope at 400x will settle this question.
