Thank you @maplemoth662
Hello Jamie Grant, thanks for the suggestion, the colors of Iris reticulata look similar to my spotting but I've checked several photos and the form of the flower is different from my spotting.
Also Iris reticulata is not native where I found these flowers, I think it is a different species.
Hello Maria dB, I wish I have more time to go out on trips and post spottings and thank you for the advice, I've added the names, I left it empty initially to encourage someone to come up with a positive species ID, I did my research on the internet but could not Identify the species.
maplemoth662 thank you.
Anyone with experties on spurges? Any help would be appreciated.
I removed my suggestion, it seems those might not be Macrolepiota procera after all.
In the last photo looks like the lamella indeed have a slight green tinge to it, if you're picking edible mushrooms to eat, avoid picking anything that you have even the slightest bit of doubt about.
They look smaller and shorter a bit, all Macrolepiotas I've seen had a pretty long stipe and a big pileus. 20 by 30 centimeters is the smallest size I would go for to avoid poisonous look alikes, size matters when it comes down to ID macrolepiota.
For a positive ID you can also look for a stipe that have brown scales that rub off easily and a free annulus that can move freely up and down the stipe.
At first sight I thought it was a young flush of Laetiporus sulphureus, but then I realized the mushrooms had gills rather than pores.
I have no idea what it is, but I'm curious and hopefully someone identifies it.
Nice spotting.
Looks like an Amanita sp., hard to tell the species from the photo.
Russula nigricans tend to blacken with time and it usually stays on the ground for a long period of time. When I find them, sometimes fresh ones stand next to some that have been on the ground since the last season.
