Summary: About the plage… and roughness in general

When I was looking at Galerina I found that for the surface roughness of spores you had to be sure you only used “mature” spores, spores from the surface of the stipe. You could tell a definite difference in the roughness of the spores between the ones on the stipe, and the ones from the gill. Spores from a gill tend to have a large fraction that aren’t that rough mixed in (like most of them).
