Another of the caps from my backyard. Showed signs of being similar to the white dunce cap I found earlier in the month.
ID?
Psathyrella
Psathyrella candolleana
^^ I really think it is that but I will continue to look
Psathyrella incerta
^^ almost identical to P. candolleana except for microscopic features. So almost no way to discern which it is, for I am fairly certain it is one of the two.
Cap:
5.8 cm diameter
cracked edges like stretched too far open
convex/ shield shaped
gradient color from center of cap to edges of cap very light tan brown changes to off white
Gills:
attached
brown
crowded but symmetrical
Stipe:
straight
8 cm long
possible vulva but definately bulbous right at root base
root base very intact
hollow
1 cm thick
Other:
no sign of lactating
possible bruising on stipe
Spores:
grey-brown like gill color
grey-brown like gill color
