Habitat : Heavily wooded area, specifically on a woodchip lined path (with some moss growth)
Cap : Ranging from darker brown to a light tan-grey in more developed specimens. Lighter around the edges of the cap (sometimes white). Slightly conical.
Gills : copper, cinnamon, brownish?
Stem : hollow, thin, pure white, some browning in older specimens. Definitely a long stem in comparison to the cap.
Spores : The prints yielded very dark brown (possibly blue, purple, even black?) spores.
They are not very slimy, but the area was protected by trees so they probably dont get much rain.
After leaving them out on the ground overnight, some of them turned a darker color, with hints of black, maybe blue.
Most of them bruised a dark dark brown, hard to tell if there were hints of purple.
I also noticed in some of the patches it seemed like there were bites taken out of the caps, may be evidence of edibility?
any help would be greatly appreciated as there are 100's of these guys back there.
