Panaeolus (?) with dark brown cap

Dear friends, can you help with this beautiful slender mushroom. At first I thought it is a Conocybe but then I saw the white-edged gills hence it must be a Panaeolus sp. It was growing on detritus (leaf litter) or broad-leaf trees (Pomegranates)

Thank you, Shrumz, I went on Panaeolus for the dark gills with a white edge. Unless this is again Psathyrella panaoeloides (but I never seen that so dark like this).

Dear Marcel,

Yes I do and I also have dried herbarium. That species passed from my mind, but i can't see the ring or belt! I can provide photos of the spores or anything required. I hoped it was an easy one that can be told from the macrophotos

Here are finally the macro which should correspond to a P anaeolus sp. but then I don't know for sure still. Maybe a Panaeolus papilionaceus var. papilionaceus but I never saw it this dark brown color and the habitat of that species is usually lawns and grassy patches.

Measurements:

(27.6) 29.8 - 36.2 (40.6) × (11.6) 12.3 - 15.8 (16) µm

Q = (1.9) 2 - 2.7 (3) ; N = 6

Me = 33.6 × 14.2 µm; Qe = 2.4

Spores:

(12.1) 13.6 - 15.7 (16.2) × (7.6) 7.8 - 9.2 (9.5) µm

Q = (1.5) 1.6 - 1.9 (2.1) ; N = 41

Me = 14.8 × 8.4 µm; Qe = 1.8

Ah yes you are probably correct and this species is already recorded. I will check it Saturday

Here is an example from Malta in Nov 2017

Zitat von Schrumz

Hi Steve,

Im not great with this genus but they look a bit weird for Panaeolus to me. I think I would also consider Psathyrella depending on the substrate.

Best wishes

You was on the right track

Stiff long brown hairs with a bulbous base in the pileipellis were observed. This should confirm Parasola conopilea
