Old Cortinarius, Berghem, Netherlands

In dutch, this genus is called "Curtain Fungi". Unfortunately, there's over 2,000 species of them and given the age of this one, I likely will not be able to identify it.

Update: got help from an expert who identified it as "Galerina marginata".

For the interested, there's a funny looking bug on the edge of the fungus. Use these instructions to see it:

  I laughed as I zoomed in on the bug; it looks as though it is perched at the edge ready to jump. I hope you were able to talk it out of its suicidal intentions, Ferdy! lol Posted 10 years ago

Do you remember if this was growing on soil? It seems to be, but I can't quite tell. Posted 5 years ago
