as i said, we are al humans , who make mistakes. i upload in max 30 min 2-3 pic, why i had make the mistake! but you had seen him n real, you could look beter at it.!!! take a look at the next uploadet spotting from me.but i need a little bit time

That's true - the brightness on the pics confuse a bit - the sun cracked the contrasts a bit - in real the cap appeared more brownish, as you can see best on the second pic (shadow-side of the cap). The basic indicator for my ID was the corny topping of the caps.

is completly ok with me. i't's only a suggestion. i thought: because he is so white, it could,schould not be a micaceus therefore the xanthothrix. but it's your spotting, you had seen him in real. that it was an coprinus/coprinellus was sure !! :)

Thanks Alex, but I think your suggest wasn't the one - I varified it and identified it as Mica Cap (since I already had the feeling that it was an Ink Cap)
