Lepiota magnispora look closely..... it's been photo bombed by a little Mycena picta (lower left just above the cedar frond)... I go from never having seen one to seeing two in a week...  Fall,Geotagged,Lepiota magnispora,United States Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

  1. Oh wow, that really puts it into perspective. I can see now why it's easy to miss! Posted 5 years ago
    1. They are quite small and a bit drab. I only spotted the original because I was already down at ground level looking at something else (that was not nearly as captivating). Posted 5 years ago

Lepiota magnispora is a beautiful woodland species easily recognized by its coarsely scaled, yellowish-brown cap, appendiculate margin, shaggy stipe, free gills and white spore print. Unlike many Lepiotas, the partial veil does not form a well developed annulus.
