Field Notes

Description:

We live in a very wet area and luckily I have a new camera to catch all the cool mushrooms etc growing. These are growing in a very large group on the forest floor near a natural pond in the back yard. The fly that I somehow managed to capture, is one of many that are attracted to these mushrooms.

Yes his suggestion absolutely did not look right. I think at this point I will leave it as Mycena because it looks right to me and then if anyone else or myself finds other info that is different I will change it.

i dont really know if the mycena is right. it is just a guess from visual referenzes. but the coprinus is it surely not, the guy who had suggest this, had also sugesst it at every mushroom, which was uploadet the last hours. so i think it wasn't really serious for him.

As I look at both sights that you both sent me too, I definitely think this is milking bonnet/Mycena galopus. Coprinus is to big, as well it has too many bumpy edges on it to match the sighting I saw. I appreciate both of your suggestions. Any clue on what my red mushrooms are that I have also posted? Thanks guys! :)
AlexKonig
no problem. as i see, has he , deleted his first suggestion and put precies the same 1 hour later. tanz what do you think is it the right one
AlexKonig
