Alex, Thanks for your help in identifying this fungus. It's a really pretty little one and I'm glad to know what it is. Could you please take a look at this more recent spotting and see what you think? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/942...
i really dont think it belongs to the genus crepidotus, actually i think i found an id for your spotting.Take the widely spaced gills (some gills are also:split, then unregular, the fragile/milky-glassy cap,the stalk (which already is darker at the base)= all together found here ----> ( http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/D... ),( http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&gs... ), ( http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Maras... ), ( http://www.mycobank.org/MycoTaxo.aspx?Li... ), ( http://www.mushroomexpert.com/marasmius.... ), ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marasmiellu... )
I don't think it is a marasmius, Alex. The short stems as well as the cap upside down leads validly to the possibility of Crepidotus genus.
But still a suggest only...so it's up to you, Donna ;)
genus : marasmius. -- and i advance, i should not be the marasmius rotula, but i relativ sure that it belongs to the marasmius or marasmiellus mushrooms. good luck
