Psathyrella

candolleana or incerta

Description:

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: no spore print yet.

Habitat:

near the base of a camphor tree
