LocalGrowGuy 2,497 263 Jul 28, 2017 #3 The mushroom king is no longer here, I don't think. Where did you find it? Looks like an 'umbonate cap' and 'free gills'. http://www.mushroom-appreciation.com/mushroom_identification.html Below are 8 things to observe when examining a new mushroom. Click on each for more detail. Gills - The ribs or feathers on the undersides of certain mushroom caps. Does the specimen have gills? Are they attached to the stalk? Stalk color/shape/markings - Tall and blue? Short and brown? No stalk? Spore color - Requires making a spore print Bruising when touched - Some mushrooms will turn colors when scratched Habitat - What trees are nearby? What's in the soil? How moist is the environment? There's so much to consider with habitat! Time of year - Have they fruited after an early May rain or a cool September evening? Cap description - The color, markings, and shape of a mushroom cap can tell you a lot! Smell/taste - Only try a small amount. Is it fruity? Bitter? Doesn't it sound like I'm talking about a fine wine? If I had to guess using my google-fu, I'd say a Pluteus, but this might help.
