you are half right. all psathyrellas has dark (brown/black) spores. some psathyrella also have somewhat darker gills. But many have first (juvenile) : whitish/flesh-colored/beige /cream/light-grey and later (matured): cocoa/chocola/puple-brown to somewhat lilac shiny,!!! ( page 2 ---> http://www.google.nl/search?um=1&hl=... ) (page 1/5/6 -->http://www.google.nl/search?um=1&hl=nl&safe=off&biw=1105&bih=665&tbm=isch&btnG=Zoeken&oq=Kruchaweczka+zaro%C5%9Blowa+Psathyrella+&aq=f&aqi=&gs_upl=30312l30312l0l31898l1l1l0l0l0l0l201l201l2-1l1l0&q=Kruchaweczka%20zaro%C5%9Blowa%20Psathyrella) maybe you have a juvenile (whitish/cream) and maybe it's not him. :) but i tend to say it is one.
I searched and all the Psathyrella have black gills. Mine has white.
you welcome, even some people say/write it , i definitly no expert. maybe specialist or better VERY interested mushroom-fan. but thanks and remind, also i make mistakes :)
Will do and thanks!
search for an american species of the genus Prsathyrella . ( maybe even this one P. artemisiae ( http://www.google.nl/search?um=1&hl=... ) good luck
