light work peace,this is a Psathyrella:. Thanks
No prob!
Thanks so much Lightworkerpeace, I am sure we all benefited from this!!
Using clean scissors, cut of the stem as high up as you can. Place the cap (gills facing down) onto a fresh piece of tinfoil. Place a clear drinking glass on top to seal off the area. Allow 12-24 hours (roughly) and check the color of the spore print.
BTW ,thanks for your feedback. Awesome link.
Please could you tell me your procedure on foil?
I'm going to guess Psathyrella:

Spore prints are not only cool looking, they are helpful in the identification process. I usually take my prints on tin foil for color contrast.
As we get all get better at identification "keys" are oftentimes helpful. Here's a Psathyrella key: http://web.natur.cuni.cz/cvsm/CM60201.pd...
