The Stinking Dapperling Mushroom

Good afternoon, fellow fungi lovers! 🍄
‎
‎I stepped out early today to tidy up our yard, and right near the trash can were these two little mushrooms that are popping up beside some new young plants.
‎



‎
‎The first thing that popped into my head after seeing them was that they look just like pancakes. 😆
‎

‎Their caps are flat and round, and they're covered with reddish-brown scales that are scattered all over. If we compare them to pancakes again, it's like someone drizzled syrup in a nice pattern on top of them, haha.
‎
‎Underneath that cap, their stems are short but look really strong and sturdy.
‎

‎It's hidden under the cap, but no way they could hide from me. Haha
‎
‎I was going to take their picture no matter what! 😆
‎
‎I used Google Lens to find out what they are, and it’s called Stinking Dapperling, or Lepiota cristata.
‎

‎Their name sounds interesting. I didn’t get close enough to smell it, and didn’t even notice any scent at all.
‎
‎But from what I read, it’s said that it sometimes gives off a smell like rubber or coal gas... though I can’t say for sure myself since I didn’t test it out.
‎
‎Nature really never stops amazing me, and I’m always so happy to share these little finds with all of you here. 🥰🫶🏻🥰
‎
‎Until my next mushroom hunting...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
