A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Caps: ranged from 3-6 inches across Somewhat scaley Very dense gills with wavey patterns and white or light tan color Meat to gill ratio similar to a portabella Gills detached from stem Stems: Long and thin Hollow and thin skinned Shiney Reddish brown fading to white on either end of stem Tiny ridges running vertically up the stems Skirt still attached to stem Spores: I did not see any spores
Found in a patch of healthy, dense grass about 10 feet away from a palo verde tree in a reservoir after a monsoon in Tucson, AZ. There were many growing within a 6 foot radius. Some were clustered, others were solo.
I am really curious about what this mushroom is because I don't know that I have seen this here before.

Hello Kevin45 and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2165... to chose the best wild photo of 2018,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
