0 obtuse Posted April 29, 2011 the second one is most likely Agaricus xanthodermus, i.e yellow stainer. the first no real idea. Cheers, Obtuse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 obtuse Posted April 29, 2011 Yes, spore prints do help. but iding mushrooms is a fairly wholistic process, spore print colour, cap colour and shape, stem colour shape and texture, and habitat info are all very importnat in helping id. some are obvious, but some are a lot harder. also being familiar helps a lot. in the case of forum ids, as much info as possible, and very clear well lit photos, as close to natural light as possible are great. i have a preference for photographing in the field, in situ before picking and then the whole mushroom picked, photographed from different angles. sorry i cant be much further help on the first mushroom.

0 ballzac Posted April 29, 2011 Are the gills on the second one white? or pale pink? It's hard to tell from the photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Lord Mayonnaise Posted April 29, 2011 First ones look like Marasmius oreades. Did you find them in grass? Were the stems pliable? Spore print should be white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ch3mical0ne Posted April 29, 2011 First ones look like Marasmius oreades. Did you find them in grass? Were the stems pliable? Spore print should be white. yes i found them in grassy muddy area, the stems were heaps pliable! And i tried to obtain a spore print on a piece of paper which was white,and couldnt see much cept a minor moister mark. cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Zen Peddler Posted May 2, 2011 First one is Marasmius oreades - cap is edible and sweat, growing on grass. Second one could be the yellow staining Agaricus if its sterile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
