Thank you very very much! :D Since that is a species cluster, I'm thinking it is Species I.

Hi J, I think you're right with Agrocybe praecox! I should have checked the date of spotting:p
I would love to help you out to identify your spottings:D

Hello Mies Meister,
Thank you very much! I'm very interested in fungi, but really have no idea as to where to start. I have about 250 fungi spottings, and not many of them are identified, and I would love any help you could provide! Based on your help with genus identification, do you think it would be safe to call this:

Agrocybe praecox

It was found growing on wood mulch in a garden.
Thanks again!

Hi! First of all I'd like to thank and welcome you as a follower! Secondly I think you have caught an Agrocybe species here. Based on the color of the cap and gills. And on the cracking of the skin on the cap caused by drought. I hope you'll find a name for it!
