Large-headed conocybe hat:
Diameter 0,5 – 2 cm, conical, ribbed from translucent plates, smooth. The color is brownish-brown, sometimes with a reddish tinge. The pulp is very thin, brown.
Records:
Frequent, narrow, loose or slightly adherent, cap-colored or slightly lighter.
Spore powder:
Red-brown.
Leg:
Very thin, dark brown. There is no ring.
Spread:
Large-headed conocybe is found in summer in grassy places, like many similar mushrooms, it welcomes irrigation. It lives for a very short time – although, as far as one can judge, it is still longer than, for example, Conocybe lactea.
Similar species:
A very difficult topic. The color of the spore powder and the extremely modest size make it possible to cut off deliberately false variants (Psilocybe, Panaeolus, etc.), but it is extremely difficult for an amateur to obtain information about small herbaceous fungi that no one needs. So I’ll be honest: I don’t know. If you know something – write. I would be very grateful.
