Field Notes

Description:

The fruitbodies were sprouting from some decayed leaves (rhododendron or whatever the 5th photo is of). Area was recently partially cleared of thick rhododendrons. I originally labelled it as 'Coprinellus micaceus?'. I labelled it as Psathyrella canoceps for a while. It was also near a previous bonfire site and so Psathyrella pennata which looks very similar could be a possibility?

Notes:

gh - i have a sample

Thanks for the tips Michel! Looking back I agree it looks nothing like C. micaceus, P. canoceps looks good for now!

This is definately not a Coprinellus micaceus, because the cap is too convex instead of bellshaped and the gills are too thick and does not show any kind of liquification. I think you should check the Psathyrella genus for a better ID. Might check species as Psathyrella canoceps or maybe Psathyrella prona var. prona f. prona (source: Pilze der Schweiz, J. Breitenbach/F. Kränzlin)
