Identification: Coprinus?

Is this Coprinus micaceus?

Northern New Mexico, USA. Montane forest (~9000 ft asl).

 

Kind of looks like Coprinus flocculosus too. Check out a detailed key at http://www.mushroomexpert.com/coprinoid.html. And good luck.

 

Thanks for noting C. flocculosus, didn't see that. I didn't take a specimen, just a photo, so no spores for identification. From what I'm read in the last 10 minutes, C. flocculosus is primarily in Europe.

I wonder how to pronounce "micacues" ... my - KAY - soos?

 

my-KAY-see-us

 

"me-kah-keh-us" or "me-kah-seh-us"
