Thanks so much, guys! I have some other fungi in my gallery that need some identification. Thanks again. :)
I agree with Alex its armillaria tabescens. Its a late summer early autumn mushroom.
this should also be a honey mushroom ( genus: armillaria [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillaria ]) . i'm somewhat familiar with the species : mellea ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillaria_mellea ) and solidipes (formerly Armillaria ostoyae [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillaria_solidipes ]) . that are relativ common mushrooms here. From what i saw the last weeks here: the Armillaria tabescens is also the 3 very common species of this genus (in america). -- your spotting: the white spores, the shape and coloration of the cap, let me think this is also armillaria {probably}--> tabescens [ http://eol.org/pages/11449866/overview ]. hope it is helpfull,
Okay. Hopefully he will see this.
It looks possible Liam, but I'm no mushroom expert - Alex Konig is probably the guy to ask!
