Lucky dog walter. 

This little one?

Not to me , but I don’t have an id for it so not a bad guess but it’s not one I know

This is where having extra details like multiple close ups and spore color help however I am 98% sure thats a Conocybe apala. Very common conocybe. Definitely looks like the dunce caps Ive found.

are you by any chance  trying to identify the liberty cap?

Another Conocybe and that one looks even more like apala than the last which makes me question the previous. There are a few otbers the previous could be but its really hard to accurately identify some mushrooma to a species witbout a scope and DNA test.

Very possibly different growth stages, different genetics, slighlty different food source etc.
Or of course a different species altogether for the first vs the second. I could act like Im certain on all these IDs but that would just prove I know nothing. That is one of my best guesses though.


There are some active conocybes but this isnt one of them. I sure would love to find one though.

Here's a few.

These are ones I found just off my patio.  Saw them and got the picture the day I recorded my 1-Minute-Can challenge.




This one I saw when I was disc golfing with a friend.  We were on the Penn State New Kensington course.  It had a nice shape so after taking the picture I gave it a toss with a sling.  It didn't have much weight, but flew surprising well.  If I had known it was going to fly as well as it did, I would have recorded it.

And last, this little group was just off my driveway.  I saw it while cutting the grass.
