Hmm.. no sign of annulus and a very pale stipe. Posted 5 years ago

  Thank you Mark, I did notice the paleness in the stipe but as it mentions the annulus eventually disappears might be what happens , I will keep on searching, but if you have some advice would be appreciated.

    Leucoagaricus (?rubrotinctus) was a thought but it's not better than your ID. Posted 5 years ago

      Should I undo the current ID? Or is it still a likely match? Posted 5 years ago

        Ferdy, I have some doubt and Mark expressed some doubt and I think it is best to list it as unidentified. I will still check or seek help but for now please change the status.
        I prefere it ,thanks Posted 5 years ago

        Done! Note that removing a species ID is something you can also do yourself, simply by clicking the red X on the identification section.
        
        Happy to do it, but just wanted to share that its possible to do it yourself as well. Posted 5 years ago

      Thanks Mark .
      As there is some doubt including some from me I asked Ferdy to change it to unidentified.
      I will keep checking a
      But feel better that way.

        I think it's probably right to back up on species iD Ernst.
        The main thing I've learned from myco experts in Aus. is it's a very complex and mostly unknown world and generally they all seem to be super cautious. Image searches for some names often reveal general confusion. A decent microscope seems invaluable.
        I think it's good that we attach such conversations to these sightings. Posted 5 years ago

        I fully agree but I wonder sometimes as it is so difficult especially with Australian fungi to have a category to maybe genus level . But I am no expert and don’t know if that is possible. Posted 5 years ago
