Descriptions

Anon.: NZFUNGI (unassigned reference).

Psathyrella (Fr.) Quél. 1872

Notes

Small brown mushrooms with a conical cap. Found mostly on wood and humus and in lawns. Cap structure cellular and spores smooth. Taxonomically poorly understood for New Zealand.

Several of the species reported from New Zealand may have been incorrectly identified, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.

Massee, G.E. 1899: The fungus flora of New Zealand. Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute 31: 282–349.

Psathyrella (Fr.) Quél. 1872

Description

Pileus regular, thin, striate, margin straight and pressed to the stem when young, not extending beyond the end of the gills.; gills free or adnexed, not deliquescent; stem central; spores black.

Structurally most closely allied to Psathyra, a genus included in the Porphyrosporae, but in the latter the purplish-brown colour of the spores is distinctive. Growing on the ground.
