This tiny
Lepiotaceous
fungi appears occasionally early in the season,
mainly under California Bay (Umbellularia californica), but
probably not limited to it. Due to it's small size it can easily be missed
and stepped on. The light whitish colors contrast nicely against the darker
forest leaf litter. The combination of non-dextrinoid spores and hymeniderm
pileipellis set thiis species apart. |
