Newbie24012 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 So each year I find this clump of mushrooms growing here in our yard while I'm mowing. I believe there is dead tree stump under them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Looks like Coprinopsis variegata http://www.mushroomexpert.com/coprinopsis_variegata.html , or maybe another species of Coprinopsis. Mushrooms in this genus are often called "Inky Caps" because they dissolve into a black liquid after they mature. The ones seen here show signs of this... gills and other portions of the caps are turning black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Just ran across another name that may apply to the mushrooms seen in this thread... Coprinellus flocculosus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
