Oudemansiella sp. ID help is much appreciated! Growing in leaf litter below a maple tree in a dense mixed hardwood/coniferous forest in NW Georgia. July 27, 2018.<br /> <br /> Very tall mushrooms (around 6-7 inches in height). Stipes are REALLY fragile (and hollow) and just crumble in my hands!<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/64902/oudemansiella_sp.html" title="Oudemansiella sp."><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3231/64902_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=fkEdqIyRadoM3MummvwUFM0Ff0g%3D" width="200" height="134" alt="Oudemansiella sp.

    Interesting cap color. Had it recently rained, or were they naturally slimy? Posted 7 years ago

      It was dry out for many days. Naturally slimy. Jacob (Pulk) says Oudemansiella sp. on this one too! Posted 7 years ago

        Oudemansiella incognita?

        Mind you, it's only a superficial visual search I did, and I suck at ID-ing fungi. An image search does show some similarities: similar gills, very long stem.         Posted 7 years ago

          Thanks, Ferdy. That does look pretty close. I think there are several cryptic species within this genus, so I'll probably have to give it a second look! Posted 7 years ago
