Comment on Galerina sp. Earle (34816)

Created: 2010-03-16 22:49:19 WET (+0000)

Summary: No need for spore print

Comment: You don’t need to get a spore print, most Galerina are so thin and small, like you saw they just dry out before you get a print most times. Take your micro-fine tweezers, and grab a small piece of the veil tissue. That will have plenty of mature spores for you. If they are still smooth, that is kinda interesting. If you can, try and get a photo of the cystidia also. Not that you’ll get a species name out of that, it would just be interesting…
