Summary: Yeah, also not quite conical enough

The stuff we call this in CA at least, stays conical in age, it doesn’t flatten out like this. And when drier, it is really more off-white-cream, these are more light brownish…

But could be, just not quite like I would expect myself. Someday I’ll try and get better at Psathyrella…

Summary: Agree with Psathyrella...

It doesn’t look as robust as what we see in California. Also the scalloped margin and striations along the margin seems unusual for P. candolleana. It would be nice to see the underside and know a bit more about the habitat.
