Dimi Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Please help ID. These mushrooms were growing on a sunny gravel road in a park in MA. White gills and stems. Waiting for spore print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimi Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 No luck with spore print - maybe white? Is this Lyophyllum decastes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 The second photo does not clearly show the attachment of the gills to the stalk (or lack thereof), but I think I see a gap on the left between the gills and the stalk. I think these represent a species of Pluteus. My guess is there is some wood buried beneath the gravel. Interesting that no useful spore print was obtained. These mushrooms look to be fairly fresh. How long was the mushroom laid out with the gills oriented downward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimi Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 The gills don’t look attached to me. The mushroom was in a brown paper bag for 4 hours. I don’t see any spore print on the bag bottom either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimi Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Deer mushroom? The gills are starting to turn pinkish and it smells like radishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 That was my initial impression, a species from the Pluteus cevinus complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
