Mycena galericulata (Scop.) Gray, 1821 (Common Bonnet)
| Notes (MWS) | One of the commonest toadstools of frondose woodland where it grows in clusters on stumps and fallen wood throughout the year. The small greyish-brown toadstools can be recognised by the interveining of the gills (visible when the cap is held up to the light) and the pinkish colouration of the gills (from a Fusarium-type infection). The basidia are usually 2-spored. |
