Rickenella swartzii (Fr.) Kuyper, 1983 (Collared Mosscap)
| Notes (MWS) | This small toadstool is pale greyish brown, darkening to almost violet at the stipe apex and centre of the cap. All the surfaces are covered with cystidia so that it appears entirely furry under a strong lens. It is very common, usually in moss, in grassland. |
