Wood Woolyfoot

Gymnopus peronatus

Gymnopus peronatus (syn. Collybia peronata) is commonly referred to as the Wood Woollyfoot, on account of the lower half of the stem being covered in fine white hairs. This widespread and common mushroom of leaf litter is poisonous; its cap colour is also very variable, which can make confident identification more difficult. Commonly known as the Wood Woollyfoot, this attractive little mushroom is sometimes recorded under the synonymous scientific names Marasmius peronatus or Marasmius urens.

Appearance

3 to 6cm in diameter, the convex caps expand and flatten out at maturity, sometimes retaining a broad umbo. Cap colour is quite variable, ranging from pinkish-cream to yellowish-buff. Unlike other members of the former Collybia genus, whose gills remain white or pale cream, Gymnopus peronatus matures with red-brown gills - a useful distinguishing characteristic.
The moderately spaced adnexed or almost free gills are pale at first, becoming reddish-brown as the fruitbody matures.
4 to 6mm in diameter and 4 to 8cm tall, the lower half of the stems of this species are covered in small pale hair
