Green Skinhead - old

Dermocybe austroveneta

Description:

These mushrooms when fresh are difficult to discern amidst grass. They have smooth beautiful green caps and lovely orange yellow gills and stipe that contrast beautiful with the caps. These might have been fresh about a week earlier. With age the centre appears darker and the cap show fine dark blue-green fibrils. I attempted to get a spore print but was unsuccesful. A spotting of fresh ones:

Habitat:

Spotted under eucalyptus tree in a nature reserve.

Notes:

This is by no means the best spotting of this species of mushroom. This is an old and decaying specimen and is posted here to hold a spot for a fresh one hopefully, next season and to document the date when they "fruit". I want very much to see one for myself ! also called Cortinarius austrovenetus
