Ups! I'm not even close to Biology you know...and I'm kind of new in the Project so, what's should I write?

The common ink caps I've come across have been greyer than these and even the smallest ones were bigger than these in the photos and seem to have 'chunkier', thicker stems. I still think they are likely to be Glistening ink caps but now you've mentioned Common ink cap there's doubt in my mind :D A lot of fungi need a microscope to be sure!

Llegada la temporada de lluvias, crecen en algunos lugares de mi localidad...muy cerca de la calle. (Once the rains come, they grow in some places of my community...very close to de street).
