  • About

Conocybe pubescens (Gillet) Kühner (illustrated 60% life size) Cap 0.5–1.2cm across, remaining conical to bell-shaped and not expanding; ochraceous, drying paler, almost cream. Stem 40–80×1–2mm; pale at apex, concolorous with cap below, darkening towards the base; fragile, soon hollow. Flesh ochraceous; very thin. Gills adnate; ochraceous-cinnamon. Spores 13–14.5×7–8.5¼. Spore print ochraceous-brown. Cheilocystidia skittle-shaped, head 2.5–4.5¼ in diameter. Habitat amongst grass in woods and in lawns; autumn. Occasional. Edibility suspect. Note in my first book I named this fungus C. pseudopilosella, the name then used in Britain.
