Field Notes
Description:
Growing at the side of a path, woodchips were around but it seemed to be growing from soil among grass along with a couple more, here's one of the others: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/930906012 . smell was like a lot of mushrooms, apricoty, taste not distinctive. About 6cm tall and 2-2.5cm across the cap. The top side of the annulus looked like it had strong striations 3rd photo. The stem was tough and pliable which makes me think it's not a psathyrella? Cap was hygrophanous and had striations at the edge. After some research I thought possibly Stropharia coronilla but S. coronilla has adnate-ish gills, and in older fruitbodies the gills turn purple/blackish. This spotting had a rusty brown to darker brown spore sprint. Other species I thought about were Psilocybe cyanescens (before I had scratched the stem to check for blueing), Galerina marginatum (I ruled this out because of substrate, smell and gill attachment). At the moment I think it is probably a Conocybe of which there are severel similar species that can only be distinguished with certainty using a microscope (or, presumably, a DNA sequencer). Conocybe rugosa and C. filaris belong to the group I'm not sure on other species that belong to the group
