Hello all, first post here but longtime landscaper/grower. Recently started making my own super soils for legal medicinal growroom, complete with live earthworms from outdoors(Quebe Canada here). Earthworms are loving the grow room and I have just recently seen baby earthworms after only a month in their new home.

My super soil is loaded with goodies like peat, worm castings, alfalfa meal, DE, coffee grounds, cardboard, oats, pea flour, wood chips and leaves... Probably more stuff but you get the idea. This morning I was shocked to see some mushrooms, would anybody know what kind it is?

Thanks
Ken

Looks like some type of Parasola. There’s a few Wikipedia pages on it. It probably came from the wood chips and/or leaves you mixed in. Some parasola mycelium hitchhiked into my garden a few years ago from a bag of bark mulch I bought from Home Depot. I didn’t notice until a bunch of mushrooms popped up under the fruit trees. They looked very similar to yours but of course can’t say for certain.

Thanks for the help Benny, I am still narrowing it down but at any rate very happy to see them as I have heard worms love fungi!😊
