Stropharia aeruginosa



Cortinarius husseyiKey to Gilled Mushrooms     Key
This is a key to gilled mushrooms, that is, mushrooms having a definite cap with a fertile surface consisting of gills. The fruiting body usually also has a stem, although that may be lateral or absent (usually, then, the mushroom is growing from wood). You can use this key to identify mushrooms that you find.



TricholomaAgaricales     Order
Fruiting body containing fibers (usually in the stalk)



Hypholoma capnoidesBlack Spored     Suborder
Spore print black, very dark brown, purplish black, or dark purplish brown, but not fitting the Gomphidiaceae
Gills usually light grey, becoming black from spores only when very mature


StrophariaStropharia     Genus
All brightly colored, large (cap more than 3-4" across), substantial black-spored mushrooms go here.
All slimy-capped non-Gomphidius black-spored mushrooms go here
All non-Coprinus black-spored mushrooms with a persistent ring on the stem go here
All non-Coprinus black-spored mushrooms with white rhizomorphs go here, and all Stropharias should be assumed to have them unless specifically mentioned
