Field Notes

Description:

The entire cap surface is coated with a fine layer of reflective mica-like cells (these could be washed off this coat by the rain). Although small and with thin flesh, the mushrooms are usually bountiful, as they typically grow in dense clusters.

This is not an Coprinellus, or coprinoid mushroom, but a Psathyrella species! C. micaceus has a white stipe, as well as C. truncorum (which has a bald white stipe). C. micaceus has a striated cap, which means it has grooves/stripes. The gills are also off colour, because the gills of C. micaceus start off white/greyish and start off very thightly packed together. These gills have white/lightbrown tinge and are more seperate (first pic). On the last photo you can actually see the remnants of the partial velum on the capmargin of the bigger one of the two. In Dutch the name for Psathyrella is, Franjehoed, which means as much as 'Cap with fringes'. Could quite possibly be Psathyrella spadicea (Dadelfranjehoed), which in the Netherlands is found on the Red List as Vulnerable.
that could probably be a washed up (lost the mica-flake-coating which have young specimen) "mica cap", I read: the coprinellus "micaceus" is very similiar to the "truncorum". But the c.truncorum shall have a whiter stem. Now, i puzzle if your spottings-stem is just soaked or has actually that look. I'm not sure about that idea, but that was my first thoughts ! btw - marta: hier kun je jou paddenstoelen en veel meer identificeren ---> ( http://www.soortenbank.nl/determinatie.php )
