So we have these mushrooms growing in our herb garden on the deck. It's a raised bed on an elevated deck, and the spores are likely from the plants we planted or the mulch we used. Charlie and I have consulted his mushroom bible "All That the Rain Promises and More" and have not found a perfect match. There is one other mushroom in the bed growing right now, and it's about a foot away from the one I picked to identify. There's no clustering going on.
Here is the path we followed:
- it has gills
- the mature gills are brown, no spores are visible
- we didn't see the young gills to observe a veil, but there is no ring on the mature stalk
- the stalk does not snap cleanly, there are some fibers. There is no milk or juice
The entire mushroom is four inches stalk and cap, and the cap is about an inch in diameter. The stalk is thinner than a pencil.
Any guesses?
