canoehead Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Is this the smooth lepiota, (lepiota naucina or leucoagaricus naucinnus)? Found recently on a lawn, Winnipeg Manitoba area. I used the National Audubon Society Field Guide to Mushrooms to help me, but it's still a guess. I realize the genus and species names may not be up to date in the book. Cap was about 6.5 cm wide, brownish discoloration on the cap top, stem about 1 cm wide and 5 cm long with a knob on the end. Gills whitish to somewhat pinkish. Gills were close and free, no volva, a ring around the stem, and no veil remnants on the cap. Spore print is white to off-white. Thanks.

Dave W Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 New genus for the "Smooth Lepiota" is Leucoagaricus. Newest complete Latin binomial name is Leucoagaricus leucothites. Looks like this is it... expect IDing this species always seems scary, given these white-spored mushrooms superficially resemble amanitas.
