Found this mushroom growing on some buried wood. For a minute I thought I might had found my first Chanterelle, but I think that this is a poisonous imposter. Smells like an earthy fruit like a cantaloupe mixed with dirt. Couldn't get a spore print out of it for some reason. Nor did I observe and glowing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
auto focus mess up again.
The Marasmiaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi which have white spores. They mostly have a tough stem and the capability of shrivelling up during a dry period and later recovering. The widely consumed edible fungus Lentinula edodes, the Shiitake mushroom, is a member of this family. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 54 genera and 1590 species.
