Field Notes

Description:

A small, slightly domed, striated cap very much darker at the middle and about 22mm across. <br> The stipe was narrow, smooth, about 40mm, and surprisingly black/indigo. <br> Gills were close and very clean white.

Habitat:

Beside a walking track in a local flower reserve. Growing with very short grasses and mosses and ground lichens. <br> Baluk Willum Flora Reserve.

Notes:

Possibly E.melanophthalmum <br> Reference - Field Guide to Tasmanian Fungi by G. Gates & D. Ratkowsky. (one of the identifying features is the very dark centre of the cap which remains to maturiy) <br> http://www.mycobank.org/BioloMICS.aspx?TableKey=14682616000000067&Rec=4…
