Dig Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Is the spore print white? I also see brown and cannot tell if there is any moisture in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olena Posted October 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Spores are white, slightly pink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hi Olena. Those mushrooms look just like the ones I posted: https://wildmushroomhunting.org/index.php?/topic/6562-clitocybe-species-or-not/ . How did they smell? taste? I did not get as aggressive a spore print as you did. If these are the same as mine, mark your calendar and look for them next year in the same place.

svs Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I think Howard's mushrooms are different, brownish cap, dark stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 The gills on the largest one appear to have a pinkish tint, but the spore print looks to be almost pure white. If these are a species of Lepista, the spore print is unusually pale. Other late-season white pale-spored white mushrooms include species of Tricholoma. These types have pure white prints.

Olena Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Thank you guys! I never seen these mushrooms before. But after laying in a kitchen for a say they had some worms. I guess worms do not eat poison mushrooms. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly can eat things that would sicken or kill you and I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked a deadly poisonous amanita one time and threw it in my burn barrel because it was too close to my yard/pets and it was loaded with little worms.
