Summary: not the same one

that I’ve been finding. Arora mentions a ubiquitous but unnamed Psathyrella, frequently found in this area, that is in the shaggy Psathyrella category. I don’t know if it’s since been named. Maybe this is it?

Summary: Definitely Psathyrella

In Arora, look under Psathyrella carbonicola and P. canoceps. You may want to commiserate with Debbie Drechsler about mysterious shaggy Psathyrellae.

Summary: I agree with Alan, Psathyrella

Don’t know the species off the top of my head due to the pretty squamules on the cap. I’ll see what I can find tonight if no one else recognizes it or has a chance to key it out.

Summary: Need more pictures when they are older

I would guess these are dark spored and either a Pholiota or Psathyrella, but I’d need to see mature caps mushrooms to be sure.
