It's a chocolate-flavored sandwich-cookie, not a cookie version of a chocolate sandwich.

Oh cool, you're close enough to me (Washington) that I can use my local resources to get closer.

Look into Lactarius cascadensis and Lactarius cordovaensis (they may be the same thing).

Paraphrased from Danny Miller https://www.alpental.com/psms/ddd/Lactarius/index.htm

a lilac grey/cinnamon cap that is zoned. It is large, with gills the colour of the cap and a mild taste found under alder. It has watery-white latex that stains tissues pink/purple and a scrobiculate stem.

Those are supposed to be pretty rare, if you've still got it, consider drying it and seeing if anyone from a local mycology club is interested in studying it.

You're missing a very important detail: what part of the world did you find this in?

It seems like it's something like L. repraesentaneus though the KOH reaction on the cap should have been red. 15-20 minutes should be more than enough time for a KOH reaction but if you waited too long between picking the mushroom and putting the KOH on the cap you may have gotten a false negative.

Wikipedia honestly kind of sucks for mushroom information, the information is very general and they only cover a handful of species.

Region-specific resources are the best but I don't really know any for your region so I'll recommend MushroomExpert.com which is a good site for general North American mushroom info. Here's the page on inkys you may want to check out.

So, these mushrooms aren't really what I would describe as Clitocyboid.

When I think Clitocybe, I think a small to medium fleshy mushroom with a flat or depressed cap and gills that run down the stem. The cap will be fleshy and bald without much ornamentation besides possibly being a little translucent striate around the edge and there likely won't be any veil.

These are smallish mushrooms with thin insubstantial caps which almost no flesh and stems that look hollow and brittle. The caps are heavy pleated and have an indistinct dark "eye" in the center. I can't see the gills here but I suspect they don't run down the stems at all.

I would generally describe that as "mycenoid". A mycena is generally a small insubstantial mushroom with a heavily pleated cap which is usually bell shaped or conical. They have thin hollow stems and and gills which are usually attached to the stem but don't run down it much.

So you could start looking at mycena and similar mushrooms but if you took a spore print (or looked carefully at the gills to see if older ones have spore-colored gills or if there's a colored tint to the shadow between the gills) you might find that these have dark spores. You may also notice that the stems on these are a little wider than one would typically expect from a mycena. In that case you would want to look at the Psathyrella family, specifically the "inky caps" which have heavily pleated caps like mycena.

Most mushrooms people call "inky caps" never really open up like these, they spread their spores by dissolving into ink and letting the liquid carry spores to the surrounding area but there are a few kinds which don't in genera Coprinellus, and Parasaola/Tuloseus. Both of these genera tend to start out brownish/tan and fade to grey/white with often retaining some of the brown in the center of the cap (often called the "disc") which sounds a lot like the mushrooms in this photo.

TL;DR: definitely not Clitocybe, possibly Mycena (or something similar), most likely Psathyrellaceae of some sort. Perhaps Coprinellus Disseminatus or some Parasola species.

Decent chance that Russula was in the Xerampelina group then.

The only Russula which should be avoided are the ones that turn black when damaged or old (the one in the photo looks fairly beat up but isn't blackening at all so it's probably not one of those). The rest are edible so long as they're well cooked, though many are disgustingly bitter, extremely spicy, or both.

I see a Russula on the right, was anyone brave enough to taste and spit to see if it was one of the mild or shrimp flavored ones?

Bunch of Paxillus there, those look really edible so they're tempting to pick up. People ate them for a long time before it was discovered that they have a poison that builds up in your body over time.

I might be mistaken but the ones on the left look like they might be Pluteus. I think most of those are edible but they have surprisingly little flesh for how big they are and not much flavor so many guides won't bother mentioning it.

I think there was a pretty short limit on how far in the future you could write someone's death.

I've had a ragdoll, a bengal, and a bunch of "American Shorthair"s.

 

I thought this was a Hygrocybe at first and was very surprised that the spore print was brown. I love the little grooves on the stem.

They added an online hub in the first major update but the rest is still true afaik.

No they didn't have dlc, that's why they sold MHG as a full price disc despite the fact that it was the same game as Monster Hunter with extra content, the same as Iceborne for World or Sunbreak for Rise.

World was just as bad at launch IMO. There was nothing worth doing post-story until Kulve Taroth came out.

 

I wouldn't even need jokers for mult so much with telescope.

 

Earthballs are a bit like puffballs except they have a thicker skin and tend to be inedible or poisonous (though some say it's that they just "spoil" so quickly that you almost never find them in a state of supposed edibility).

Earthballs often tricky to tell apart from each other without a microscope or seeing them at multiple stages in their lifecycle but the Leopard Earthball has a few good tells like the brown cracking scales on the surface and the rapid red staining when it's cut in half.

If it's dark enough the tips glow faintly like a candle that's just been snuffed out.

You can see the glow in this blacklight photo I took (sorry if it's hard to see, I didn't turn off color correction on my phone).

The plant it's growing on is a dead piece of a Mountain Ash/Rowan shrub which seems to be bouncing back from whatever killed that branch.

My reasoning for this being A. Adonis: To start with it's a pink mycenoid mushroom of which there are three documented species in the PNW.

It can't be Mycena Monticola because it wasn't found at a high enough elevation for that species (they only grow at over 2000 feet hence the name Monticola meaning "mountain dwelling").

The gills are not marginate (having a different color on the edges) which rules out the other pink species Mycena Rosella.

That leaves us with A. Adonis.

Species is something like Subcana. Grey Mycena are hard to differentiate.

 

These have beautiful reddish brown pores on the bottom
