The mushrooms you get from the store are mostly some form of agaricus. Gills will be light pink when yong to dark chocolate brown.

I thought the false parasol was an agaricus, until I looked at the gills.
Nope. Then I had to do a spore print and identify it. Green spore print, green gills. They're not always the same color.

I did that recipe again. Each batch as listed made 3 pints. I increased the vinegar to 1/4 c to bring the acid up and it has a salt amount almost up to fermentation levels. I think I need to decrease the salt on the next batch.
I ran out of pepper, so I did one batch with cumin.
The batch with pepper evacuated a lot of water while processing, so I wonder if I didn't cook that batch long enough.
The difference is visible.

Repacking a lot of jars, realize these are old jars. I was gifted about 100 +/- , couple years ago, from a friend when her mom & grandmoms years of canning. She was not interested & said she was going to trash them -- never going to use. So I happily went in the shed and got all that were not broken from their tossing. Huge number of heavy Atlas brand, not made since about 1950. Some of these absolutely over 75 yrs old! Heavy & excellent condition. Many Ball & Kerr I've bought from some other old time canners over time. Big difference from today's, weight alone! I own about 4-500 jars

yes, those old jars are heavy! as long as they work i'll keep using them. 
as a food storage material i really appreciate glass even if it can break and be dangerous after it breaks, at least it can be recycled and reused - what i most like about it is that the food doesn't pick up odd tastes from the container. tomatoes taste like tomatoes.
