      I thought they were too (especially for being your basic whitish-brown lawn mushrooms)! :D I loved the morning dew glistening on them! I got the suggestion for Leucoagaricus meleagris as well, so I'm waiting on some more input on MO and FB! The chemical analyses lined up for L. americanus, but I have no idea about L. meleagris' features! Posted 6 years ago

        The stipe is stunning, and is such a contrast to the gills. Posted 6 years ago

          Agreed. The color reactions (to the reagents) were lovely too :) Posted 6 years ago
