Psathyrella candolleana Growing in a wood shipped are right at the base of a rotting tree stump. It is mentioned that the spores are dark brown. I did make a spore print which looks dark brown toreador black with a tinch of dark purple .The distribution within South Australia is probably acceptable as the distribution shown on ALA is only about 50 km in difference.

        I typically leave Psathyrella species at genus level as they often require microscopy to get any further. As for the spore print, I have had dark brown to black prints from this genus. So it looks like we are at least on the right track! <3 Yay!

        The other thing that made me think Psathyrella was the fact that the caps are hygrophanous!         Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
