Hi, found this little waxcap on a patch of fairly improved patch of grass (within less improved field), which I thought was just H.pratensis but had a pink/peach spore print. Any ideas?
Cap: 20mm
wide, dry, brown with paler edges and some striation at edges. Flat slightly umbonate. Gills: Paler
brown, adnate, remote. Stem: 2mm x 25mm
brown-tan paler at top
Pink spore-print so not a 'waxcap' = Hygrocybe species. Must be one of the Entoloma= pinkgill fugi. There are few entoloma this colour. I have seen E serecium in past couple of days whichi is very common -- many look like this but few like yours. Spores should be angular shape. Was this the only sp --- if so keep take more pics (underside+gill attachment) and dry gently on a 'mild' radiator. Let me know! Philip

ReplyDeleteIf you still have the spores bring them along to our Microscope session and perhaps we can see what they look like.
