Notes:
"Marasmius" is a genus of mushrooms, in the family "Marasmiaceae". However, most members of this genus are small. Their humble appearance contributes to their not being readily distinguishable to non-specialists, and they are therefore seldom collected by mushroom hunters. Several of the species are known to grow in the characteristic fairy ring pattern.
