Dear colleagues,
This mushroom sample is belonging to Coprinopsis genus but I'm a bit confused about the species to which it belongs, Would you please help??
Hi,
Morphological examination of the mushroom is unreliable to know a mushroom identity. Best and most accurate way is to take it back to your lab, extract its DNA and do some molecular works to identify it.
If you think that it might belong to Coprinopsis genus, do some literature search and design a suitable primer, run a PCR to confirm its identity!
Hello Marwa
Would you please present photos better than this left in soil, I mean can you pick it out from the soil and photographed it. Good luck
Zx Chong , Thanks or your contribution, i know it is difficult to rely on the morphology to identify mushrooms and i have already did the molecular analysis and now i'm working on the ITS-based identification. i just need a general comment based on the photo.
Jawad K. Abood Al-Janabi , Thanks very much, unfortunately i have not as i have collected this sample two years ago.
Regards
