Brown mush room ID

[KeenTeen17]

Does anyone have any idea what this is?





I submitted another one for ID a few weeks back and it was IDed as inocybe sp.
Same species?

Hi KT , I think your first one looks more like Lepista nuda, no idea on your second one though?

aaah Lepista - the dreaded genus I remember a certain debate about lepistas

[leifus]

1 Leptisa sp.
2 Inocybe sp.?

The second is not Inocybe, it is Melanoleuca. The cap shape is quite odd but you do tend to see it more in this genus. The stipe is what does it for me as it has the effect of wood grain or in myco-lingo, 'Longitudinal fibres'. An umbonate cap is another pointer towards this genus.

The gill look orribly dark for Melanoleuca

Very true I do get ahead of myself sometimes What do you reckon to it?

EDIT; Just looked in some books and can see species in the genus with gills this dark. The smaller upturned specimen in KT's photograph shows spore evidence at the top of the stipe which is white. With that, I'm sticking with Melanoleuca

God, it's like a constant fight with my own brain

Still not convinced Nick but I can't come up with anything better so I'll say nowt.
