head: 0,5 – 1,5 centimeters in diameter. Initially, it is a convex bell, with growth the cap becomes flat, first with a small central tubercle, then, with age, with a slight depression in the center. The surface of the cap is radially wrinkled, light beige, beige, fibrous, with brownish, reddish-brown longitudinal scales that form dark reddish-brown concentric rings. The color fades over time, becoming uniform, but the center is always darker.

plates: adnate with notch, whitish, creamy-whitish, sparse, wide.

Leg: cylindrical, central, 2 – 5 centimeters high, thin, from 0,1 to 0,3 cm in diameter. Very fibrous, straight or sinuous, feels limp to the touch. The color is reddish-brown, light above, darker below. Covered with dark brown or brown-reddish, darker than the cap, fine hairs.

Pulp: thin, fragile, white.

Smell and taste: not expressed, sometimes indicated as “weak mushroom”.

spore powder: whitish.

Споры: 6-11 x 4-8 µm, ellipsoid, smooth, non-amyloid, whitish.

Not studied. The mushroom has no nutritional value due to its small size and too thin pulp.

Crinipellis rough is a saprophyte. It grows on wood, prefers small pieces, chips, small twigs, bark. It can also grow on herbaceous remains of various plants or other fungi. From grassy prefers cereals.

The fungus is found quite abundantly from late spring to autumn, distributed in America, Europe, Asia, and possibly on other continents. It can be found in large forest clearings, forest edges, meadows and pastures, where it grows in large groups.

“Crinipellis” refers to the fibrous, woolly cuticle and means “hair”. “Scabella” means a straight stick, hinting at the leg.

Crinipellis zonata – differs by a sharper central tubercle and a large number of pronounced thin concentric rings on the cap.

Crinipellis corticalis – the hat is more fibrous and more hairy. Microscopically: almond-shaped spores.

Marasmius cohaerens are more creamy and softer in color, the cap is wrinkled but without fibers and with a very dark center, without concentric zones.
