Found on a hike in Tennessee, United States in May.
Hi guys, found this one road side on a tree stump (quite possibly an elm stump).
Sorry for the poor picture. These popped up late fall in an area of my yard where I had buried some old colonized p.cubensis grain. What is throwing me off is they are not bruising and the cap color looks off too me. Did not have a chance to take a spore print yet. What other mushroom could they be? Location is eastern central WA
Bellingham, Washington ~ Is this a dead mushroom? I have never seen one so black
Sorry if posts like this aren’t allowed. But how do you start off learning this type of thing? At what point are you confident enough to ID for people? Is there a course or qualification I should be looking at or is it all googleable?
Growing in buffalo grass after some wet weather. Are these cubes?
