Clitocybe Atroviridis

Description:

We are trying to identify everything on campus. We have already identified plants. So we are now looking for mushrooms. Our group is looking near a moist area in the woods.So far we have found 5 or 6 different types of mushrooms. The other groups did not find as much mushrooms as us. Some have only found 2 mushrooms. We only have to identify as much mushrooms as we can. I have identified 2 mushrooms so far one of them is Clitocybe Atroviridis, that is the scientific name. I found this mushroom by going on a website called http://tolweb.org/tree/. The cap on it is black and kind of round but has ridges. To identify it I used the tree of life site these are the steps I took. (Eukaryotes) organisms with nucleated cells. then (Fungi) mushrooms,sac,yeast,molds,rusts,smuts, etc. then (Basidomycota) mushrooms,rusts,smuts. Then to (Agaricomycatina) Jelly,fungi,yeast, and mushrooms. Then (Agaricomycetes) mushroom forming fungi. Then the last one I chose was (Agaricomycetidae) which didn’t have a definition next to it. That brought me to the mushroom. The spore print for the mushroom was a black/purple color.The hole thing was pretty slimy.
