Liquid Cultured Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Does this match up to what you overserved? https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/chlorophyllum-molybdites/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Cultured Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 A spore print can also help; if the spores are green then most likely that but if White then not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smroom DB Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 The gills are all white. Not pink like the meadow mushroom. About 5 inch diameter. Six inches in length. I did a print the spores appear white. They do grow in a circle. Just curious can I dry them out and send them to someone? I thought they looked like the parasol.

Smroom DB Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 I will avoid this mushroom there are too many lookalikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Cultured Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) I mentioned green spores as the gills in the photo appeared to have green staining. But that could be from the touch not the spores collecting on the gills. Finding them in multiple ages also helps because some gills might be pink when young then change to black as they mature etc. There are a handful of mushrooms that will fairy ring some in the Amanita genus etc. See my profile for a list of books that come highly recommended in assisting identification and lookalikes. It's best to use multiple book sources to identify. Mushroomexpert.com run by mycologist Michael Kuo has keys for must mushrooms used for identification and is another great source. He is an author of multiple books in my list. The HMS is doing DNA sequencing for mushrooms found during the summer and fall forays. I'm not sure if they offer a paid service for collected elsewhere or otherwise. Edited August 11, 2022 by Liquid Cultured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
