Garg ji i don't think its Amanita sp.

Looks like Gymnopus sp.
Family - Marasmiaceae

Gymnopus dryophilus (Bull:Fr.) Murrill. ??

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[J.M. Garg]

To me also appears close to images of Gymnopus dryophilus at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnopus_dryophilus

https://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Gymnopus_dryophilus.html

What are the species listed in Nepal ?

[Saroj Kasaju]

Thank you Mr. Garg !

Saroj Kasaju

[ashutoshsharma11sn]

Yes it may be in Gymnopus dryophilus complex.

However for exact species confirmation only pictures are not enough unlike plants here we have to study the microscopic characters along with spore print to get sure.

G. dryophilus is distributed in North America and Europe.

[Saroj Kasaju]

Thank you Ashutosh  ji!

I agree but for lay person like me it is not possible to go through all these process.

Sometimes back some expert advised to take images of underside to see the Gill pattern and cross section which I am following. Beyond this it is not possible to collect specimen and check spores and microscopically . I do mot have such access . As such, I shall be taking only images of all aspects as far possible.

Thank you.

Hi, Saroj ji,

What are the species listed in Nepal of this genus?

[Saroj Kasaju]

Please find the list according to Dr.Adhikari book.

Thank you .

Saroj Kasaju

[J.M. Garg]

As per this, Gymnopus dryophilus is also listed in Nepal along with four others.

[Saroj Kasaju]

Yes Mr. Garg

 I suggested accordingly

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[ashutoshsharma11sn]

Yes Saroj Kasaju ji

I understand its not possible for many of us to do microscopic studies because of lack of equipments and other facilities.

Your images are much detailed now than earlier showing many details including stipe, pileus, gills and habitat. I wish you can add one more detail of spore print for Agaricales as color of spore is really helpful in confirming some species. It is also easy to take spore prints.

As Gymnopus dryophilus is mentioned in book than it is most likely G. dryophilus as it is not matching with other species mentioned.

Best regards
Ashutosh Sharma

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks a lot, Ashutosh ji. 
You are a real strength to the group.

Dear Ashutosh Ji,

Please guide me the methods  for spore print. How it is done? Which stage of mushroom produce 

spore print and materials required for it and if any other requirements.

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[Ashutosh Sharma]

Saroj Kasaju ji,

Obtaining spore print from gilled mushrooms (Agaricales) is easy you just need to select a mature pileus(cap) and you can place it (gills downward) on white paper if cap is dry can add a few water droplets on it  and cover it under jar so as to about any disturbance for overnight or a day.  Thereafter you will get spore print if pileus selected is matured but if the pileus selected is unmatured or overmatured than it may not show sporeprint. 

Moreover spore print also provides the detail like pileus diameter if scaled . 

Here's a link that will help you more

You can also see one of my post on Chlorophyllum molybdites where i have added spore print images. In that case green spore print is one of the key identifying feature of that species.

Here's the link showing its image

Looks difficult for a  lay person.

Thank you.
