    I'm placing my chips on Marasmius capillaris.

    Marasmius rotula is reported far more often nationally and globally, but specifically in your state, Marasmius capillaris is reported more frequently. It also seems the better visual match?     Posted one year ago

      Sounds like good reasoning. I can't tell them apart, but agree that it seems likely, so I will ID them as Marasmius capillaris for now. Thanks for the help. :) Posted one year ago
