We got more material and it has small spores etc.
This fruting body would need to have a tough leathery exoperidium to be Mycenastrum.
I need to have a really tough leathery skin or exo- peridium to be this species. From the images it looks like a Calvatia. You will need to look at the gleba tissue, primarily the spores and the ornamentation of the spores to determine if this is what you think it is or not.
…is about to have kittens. I wonder what’s freaking him out. Could it be C. booniana? :-)
