When: 2017-10-24
Collection location: Franklin Co., Virginia, USA [Click for map]
Who: Cody Morgan (Cody)
Specimen available
Fungarium record:
Notes:
Growing from rich soil with sparse grass.
Looks like a small C. apala (group) but its alittle more tan and the stem seems sturdier. Also seemed alittle greyish blue at the base, ive seen funky colors on C tenera (group) type conocybe’s but never a white one like this? Maybe it has something to do with the soil, not sure.

The cap colors seem off for a Pholiotina, although this small grouping was very exposed to sun and wind so perhaps that made them this pale? Another thing I should mention is that none of the FB’s looked to have striate caps even when fairly young.
Just judging from the looks of this collection compared to other cyanopus/smithii pictures ive seen online they dont look that similar to my inexperienced eyes.However I have found other groupings (one not far from this spot) that look extremely similar to cyanopus/smithii
