black spored mushroom with cortina


Recommended Posts

Saw this twice this week, each time in the dirt with clover near wood chips. This is on a new power line.  I'm thinking Psathyrella?,  Need some help. Kuo says it's not a well defined Genus.The other dark spored genera don't seem to fit. Blackish spores on the inside of the cortina, the gills are finely serrated and ? marginate?, hairy cap. I don't know but this is my lucky mushroom. I called in a 21 lb gobbler right after taking these photos.

Cap color for this species varies, as does the fuzziness of the cap surface. The cortinate partial veil present on young specimens is a good ID character. The photo seen here captures this trait very well. The pv breaks apart fairly quickly and leaves a "ring zone" on the stalk that eventually darkens from the falling spores. Here's a bunch more photos to compare   https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=L&l=l&nom=Lacrymaria lacrymabunda / Psathyrelle pleureuse&tag=Lacrymaria lacrymabunda&gro=33
