White shroom

04/04/2012

Went scavanging in the backyard today. Jackpotttt found 4 seperate types of gill caps. So excited.
Beginning with cap #1
ID?
Tricholoma columbetta
It could be... but no determining features..
Tricholoma subresplendens
both of these are said to bruise blueish, this one did bruise sort of reddish orange on the cap but I may have just read into it too much, may have been nothing.


Cap:
5.5 cm diameter
convex/ shield shaped
unsymmetrical but even
beige with lots of dirt stuck to it

Gills:
free/ attached?
free I think...
white
crowded but even

Stipe:
curved
5 cm long
bulbous base;
2 cm at thickest part 
1.2 cm at thinnest part
thick and fleshy
white
Other:
no sign of lactating or bruising
near the base of a magnolia

Spores:
creamy white
The shadows in this picture make it look like a russula but I don't believe it was
