Silver-grey capped mushroom

This may be a Russula adusta, but again, little information available. Another possibility with little available info Tricholoma atrosquarosum - the photo on PNW mushrooms matches very well, but other photos not as well.. very little additional information

Nice scene. Gill/pore, spore and stipe shots would help enormously towards an ID. I wonder if the moss has a relationship. Posted 9 years ago

  They've got white gills that slowly stain to grey/black. Most of the same that I saw were quite cracked and split even though they were probably just out of the ground- this one was in the best shape of all that I came across. If opportunity presents itself, I'll get some of the parts like gills to help with ID, I don't generally pick just for my own edification, so I've no shots of how the gills are attached for this one. R. adjusta is a pretty good fit, but again there's a lot of Russulas around here and not a ton of good information, so I'm not super sure. Posted 9 years ago

The Ashen knight

''Tricholoma virgatum'', commonly known as the ashen knight, is a mushroom of the agaric genus ''Tricholoma''. It was first described scientifically as ''Agaricus virgatus'' by Elias Fries in 1818, and later transferred to the genus ''Tricholoma'' by Paul Kummer in 1871. It is found in the deciduous and coniferous forests of Europe and North America. The mushroom is inedible, and has a bitter and peppery taste and musty odor.
