Top 20 Most Common Mushrooms in Tampico

Most Common Mushrooms

Hairy hexagonia

1. Hairy hexagonia

The hairy hexagonia (Hexagonia hydnoides) is not the most common mushroom you'll find, but has very distinctive qualities. Stiff, dark brown, bristle-like hairs emerge from an ochre flat cap and are found growing from a decaying tree stump or wood. The large pores on the cap's underside create an almost sponge-like appearance, and the stem is otherwise not visible.
Panaeolus antillarum

2. Panaeolus antillarum

The panaeolus antillarum is a small, nondescript mushroom that, like other members of the Panaeolus genus, favors fruiting in animal dung, though it may also be found in wet meadows or even lawns. Though its stalk and cap don't offer any quick or easy identifying characteristics, one distinguishing feature of this species is its spore print, which is jet black.
Fringed sawgill

3. Fringed sawgill

The odd shape cap of the fringed sawgill can be spotted from afar by its fuzzy, almost wig-like appearance. The cap is predominately dark tan towards the concave center but fades to a crisp white along the edges and gills. Size ranges from thumb-sized to dinner plate size.
Split gill

4. Split gill

Split gill(Schizophyllum commune) can be found across the globe. Uniquely, it is the only mushroom species known to display the capability to retract by movement. It is considered inedible, although not necessarily toxic. Furthermore, it is not recommended to smell this species, as the spores are capable of sprouting and growing in nasal passages.
False parasol

5. False parasol

Though the false parasol appears unassuming, the species is famous—or, infamous—for its toxicity. It looks unfortunately similar to Agericus campestrus, a commonly eaten mushroom, but the false parasol can be distinguished by its highly unusual green spore print. Although they are no good to eat, they can be pretty to look at. The species may grow in ring-shaped groups in meadows and on forest floors in what are sometimes called "fairy circles."
Flowerpot parasol

6. Flowerpot parasol

This tropical/subtropical mushroom is known to be toxic. If eaten it causes a very unpleasant stomachache with the risk of fatal complications. In temperate zones, flowerpot parasol is only found in hothouses and greenhouses, so the risk of accidental foraging is low, but it may occur with potted plants and indoor landscaping and pose a risk to curious children.
Fairy inkcap

7. Fairy inkcap

The mushrooms of the fairy inkcap species have a tendency to congregate in large masses over dead tree stumps and decaying roots. They appear all around the world from early spring all the way to the first frosts, but each fruit only lasts a few days before turning black and distributing its spores.
Onion-stalk parasol mushroom

8. Onion-stalk parasol mushroom

This generalist mushroom, found across North America, can be found in all sorts of moist woodland settings. The species appears to be particularly fond of wood chips or mulch, and so it is often found in garden or park settings. The onion-stalk parasol mushroom, despite the word "onion" in its name, is inedible.
Tropical white polypore

9. Tropical white polypore

Tropical white polypore(Favolus tenuiculus) can be most often found on pieces of decaying wood, particularly in areas replete with moisture. Until recently it was a member of the genus Polyporus, which has since been subdivided. Named for its evocative appearance, the species is a favorite food of local insect species.
Corn smut

10. Corn smut

With a common name such as "corn smut," it is easy to guess that the most common place to find this crop-devastating fungus is on corn plants. The gall-shaped growths of corn smut (Ustilago maydis) are black in color with hues of grey and white closer to where they attach to the host plant. The corn will develop a scorched appearance, which is actually the smut rot.
