A couple questions? Is it purple and pink with a white stem? My computer and I aren't agreeing with each other at the moment so getting a closer view is a no-go. About how tall is this fellow and is this plant in sunlight at all? (what kind of plant too...lol...they look like tulips?)
It grown bigger, here is the latest picture of it. It is totally white, except on the top of it's cap it is maroon in colour. It is around 9cm. I found it growing under my Dracena Sanderiana. It is growing in medium-low light condition supplement with 16 hours of fluorescent light.
I'm not yet coming up with a positive ID yet? The only Leucocoprinus that I'm really finding are either shaggy or yellow. Was the cap on this fellow smooth...or tacky or shaggy? If you're still able to, can you pluck the cap carefully off the stem and put it on 2 pieces of paper...1 black/other white. If you can do that and put a cover over the cap gill-side down so the next day you can see if has left a spore print? Sometimes that will help also for a positive ID. The only purple toned possibility...which would be Leucocoprinus ianthinus, is so far all I'm coming up with.
Thanks for the help! After you mention about Leucocoprinus, I when and do a search on it and found it as: Leucocoprinus lilacinogranulosus. Attached below is a clear picture of this Leucocoprinus, source:http://www.mycena.sfsu.edu/pages/hawaiian/Gardens/L_lilacinogranulosus.html
Nope, the one pictured on this thread last less than 2 days :(, I do hope that more would come to visit.
I know I've found others of this family in wood-chip piles. Maybe if you found some well shredded pieces of compost u can get more? There are some really beautiful varieties that u can get from just keeping them in u're house plants.
