Can anyone please help me identify what this is and if it is edible or not? I found these growing along my fence line. We have had a lot of rain this year so maybe that is why they popped up? Any help will be appreciated. Glorybe
It doesn't match any edible I know (and i've eaten about 120 species). Could be a Clitocybe or such, but i'd need a spore print color and better photos of it.
I agree Rob, The way that they are cluster formed and the coloring does resemble the 'cybe' or MAgIc, either way looks suspicious. I wouldnt eat em, if they dont look like a bolete or chantrelle, im pretty leery of the things I find growning at the fence line.
Thank you for the response...I really need the help. The spore print I first did on white paper did not show so I had a dark blue which did show either a light pink or a white.. Sorry I am learning how to do this.
Looks like a Gymnopus sort of thing, but yes I agree it is hard to peg little beige mushrooms. cheers, frog
Frog is right, the stem here is very very characteristic of Gymnopus. check out http://www.mushroomexpert.com/gymnopus_acervatus.html for an example of this genus.
