Collected by Chris Curry and all field photos by Chris Curry. Found on a hardwood log. Bruised blue. Had a strong odor described as being like that of Pluteus americanus. Pleurocystidia are metuloids with walls under 2 μm thick (0.7 μm and 1.0 μm for the 2 measured) and either lack horns or have short, rounded horns. All microscopic photos were from a roman aqueduct section mounted in phloxine (1 drop), congo red (1 drop) and NH4OH (2 drops).
Secotioid, found on grass in a housing development.
Found in grass/ground cover. Not directly near any trees. Looks like the other little brown mushrooms but the cap is very different. Could be damaged/ decay?
Found on grass. Bruises blue. Spores approx. 11-14 × 8-11 um. Pleurocystidia 51-66 um.

“Southern Ohio. The base was was under leaves and I’m fairly certain it was on a piece of wood, although there’s a chance it wasn’t. The top was a little viscid. The outer margin was already bruising and the stipe turned blue 15 minutes after handling. Mixed woods with lots of beech, oak and walnut. Odor strong and like Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata”.
Pleurocystidia measure (36.3) 41.9 – 52.3 (52.8) × (14.4) 14.7 – 17.7 (18.1) µm
Q = (2.4) 2.5 – 3 (3.5) ; N = 10
Me = 48.4 × 16.7 µm ; Qe = 2.9
Cheilocystidia similar to pleurocystidia but sometimes narrower.
Spores, including nodules measure (6.7) 7.3 – 9.4 (9.6) × (4.5) 5.1 – 7.7 (8.2) µm
Q = (1) 1.1 – 1.6 (1.8) ; N = 30

Under Beech, in proximity to previous insignis find.
Same collection as reported by Alan Rockefeller
Growing on a hardwood log. Likely maple. Thin annulus on stem. Spore deposit seems to be orange but I am attempting to print these as well. Specimens had probably been rotting for a few days before collection.
Growing out of the grass next to the railroad crossing electrical box a several feet to the northeast corner of box.
Found growing inside a very dead tree next to the river. Seemed to bruise blue apon touch.
