E-Type Jaguar Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Found these little fellas nestling in gum leaf litter next to a flood drain (at the bottom of a very large, very steep ditch) in the Adelaide Hills. Spore print is jet black. They were kinda slimy when wet, and smell very slightly like bog standard shop mushrooms. Stems are hollow, stringy and crush very easily if you try to pick them up. No staining at all. Pictures were taken about an hour and a half after picking, as I did not take my camera with me. At the time of picking, the caps were a reddish-brown colour, some graduating very slightly to a more yellowed tone towards the peak. Largest mushie (far right in last photo) is about 4cm in diameter, most of the others are between the size of a 10 and 20 cent piece. Can post a photo of the print if needed, but haven't got one at time of posting. I have an idea about what they could be, but I'm not 100%. SO! I'm offering a free print to anyone who can definitively ID them, or can do so with the aid of a print for microscopy. Thanks guys!
