Renee Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 It’s cold outside, all are frozen, but these must have grown over the past couple of weeks. And lots of them, mostly larger. seems to be growing in a ring formation, but maybe more of a row, not sure.... any ideas. waiting for it to unfreeze to maybe get a spore print.

Dave W Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I don't immediately recognize this species. Spore print color ascertained from a substantial print would probably help us get a proposal on the genus. Take the print on non-absorbent surfaces, one black and one white. Or, a simpler alternative is to take the print on aluminum foil. My guess is the print will be white. If so, I think this may represent a species of Lyophyllum.

Renee Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Ok thank you!! I tried for a spore print, but I found these frozen in the snow. Must have been too wet to leave its spores... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I think the fact that they froze probably changed the color. I was thinking maybe Tricholoma if white spored, and Hebeloma if (light) brown spored. If you have access to a microscope, you may be able to find a few spores by smash-mounting a small piece of gill in KOH, water, or a stain like Congo red.
