When: 2007-02-16
Collection location: Howarth Park, Santa Rosa, Sonoma Co., California, USA [Click for map]
Who: Debbie Drechsler (debdrex)
No herbarium specimen

Notes: Observed over a period of two days when there was no rain and the temperature went to near 70 degrees fahrenheit. Gills on the younger specimen were a pale tan becoming a mauve gray in age. The (2) photos I found of Psathyrella carbonicola shared some similarities with these images but the stipes seemed entirely different so, for now, I’m going to call this an unknown.3/7/07—See also Observation 2694 (you can first do a location search for Howarth and find it more easily that way). Both P. carbonicola and P. pennata are both found in burn sites, which neither of these were. I don’t know if fungi found in burn sites can be found elsewhere, so have “downgraded” this identification, for now.
