Bayoufrogg Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Initially thought this was cortinarius caperatus. Rusty brown spore print matches, but habitat doesnt. Cortinarius caperatus is found in ground and i found these on dead wood. Gills off-white at first turning to brown. Gulf states guide says pale yellow gills at first.

CajunShroomer3578 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Cyclocybe Maybe??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Not Cortinarius caperatus, and likely not any species of Cortinarius. Cyclocybe makes sense (for at least some of these mushrooms). Were all of these mushrooms found in the same/similar habitat? Growing on (live) willow? The mature ones remind me of Psathyrella, a genus that produces fragile mushrooms (easily broken into pieces).

Bayoufrogg Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 All mushrooms were found on this one dead tree. It was about 9 feet tall and had several rotting spots at the bottom. The mushrooms were not fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I think Cyclocybe aegerita/cylindracea is a good bet here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
