Agaricus cf campestris
With sagebrush and grass on Sagebrush stepe habitat.
Spores (6.6-7.9) x (4.6-5.6)
The spore size matches Agaricus campestris ss. and is not a good match to some of the other locally sequenced species within the group.
We will have to sequence this one.
Riparian, a robust species.
Cap 6 cms., stipe 7x1. gills close, adnate.
Isn’t a bit to early for Agaricus sp. to popping out!?
Growing out of horse manure. Mild fungal odor, strong fungal flavor.
Growing on Linden. Have specimen.
Looks like P. ostreatus, but there was a slightly furry growth on the cap of one. Could be mycelium. Smell was disagreeable rather than typical oyster mushroom odor (kind of a burnt smell). There was burnt wood nearby so that may have contributed. Have specimen.
Found in the same spot and likely the same species as the Pleurotus I observed in Malheur county a few years ago.
