Bayoufrogg Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Ive been curious if we have deadly gallerina around the house, so been taking note of small, brown mushrooms. I found this in a swampy environment (cypress, oak, tupelo) on dead hardwood. I see some similarities to coprinellus micaceus (mica cap) and psathyrella candolleana but cant seem to nail it down. Any help appreciated. What i see: Small brown, convex, granulose, and hygrophanous cap turning to light beige once dried. Remnants of veil at margin. Adnate gills. Stem white with no ring or ring zone. Spore print, imo, is rusty brown. Picture makes spore sprint appear lighter in center. To the eye, the actual print looks slightly darker. The outer edge of spore print in imagine is closer to actual spore print color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Looks like a Psathyrella. The top photo looks like P. piluliformis, the stump Psathyrella, but the genus has others that look similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Species of Psathyrella. Looks somewhat like P. candolleana, except the mushrooms from that species group have darker prints. P. conissans has a pink spore print. So, maybe these are related to P. conissans. Psathyrella includes a large number of species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
