Dmitriy Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Found this mushroom in the mixed woods in New Jersey. No vulva, enlarged stem base. Pale white/yellowish spore print. Gills bruising slightly brown. To be honest, this mushroom does not look like Lepiotas I am familiar with, but I could not come up with a better guess. Any help is appreciated!

Dave W Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I think these represent one of the species in the Tricholoma caligatum complex. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/tricholoma_caligatum.html Lepiota and related mushrooms have gills that do not reach the stalk (free gills).
