Here is another day late post for #fungifriday by 
I found these guys yesterday evening as I went out into the hot humid summer for a walk. They were growing right outside my door in a bark filled curb.
These are Lepiota americana also known as reddening lepiota.
These are an edible species of parasol mushroom and they can be identified by their crackled cap and reddish stem. Also if you cut their stem the flesh eventually turns red hence their common name reddening lepiota.
Here they are just starting out. At this age you would need to cut the flesh to see the reddening for a true identification. A poisonous lookalike is Chlorophyllum molybdites aka the vomiter. The vomiters have green spores and slightly thinner stems and they don't stain red if cut.
Here is a tiny little one just starting out. I tend to find reddening lepiotas have the squat fat base to the stems compared to the poisonous vomiters that have a straight stem.
Right next to the lepiotas I found another parasol Leucocoprinus birnbaumii also known as the flower pot parasol. These are often found growing in flower pots of indoor plants.
These also have a rough texture on the cap, when young they are usually a bright yellow but turn white as they mature. These are a toxic mushroom if eaten and cause upset stomach.
Here is a row of them that have dried up in the summer heat.
Now for a UFO. I have seen these before and vaguely remember identifying them once. But I can't remember their name right now lol.
Here is what the gills look like on the UFO. Also note the dead wasp in the background. It reminds me of an oyster mushroom gill pattern but they are much too small to be oysters and seem to be growing out of the ground.
That's all for this #fungifriday on a saturday again lol.
