| General Information: | Found these bad boys in a oak grove near a small creek. Sorry the mushrooms look a little thrashed. I picked them yesterday and toted them around for awhile. I am 99% certain that they are blewits. I originally thought they were mycena pura but, the gill structure and lack of "radish odor" lead me to think that they were clitocybe nuda. Can you please confirm for me. Thanks & happy holidays!!! | ||
| Chris' Comments: | They may be blewits, but the lack of any younger specimens, and condition of them make it too difficult to ID with this photo. TRy a spore print... | ||
