Conocybe apala
(Fr.) Arnolds (2003)
Description:
A cap that is pale cream to silvery-white and sometimes has a darker yellow to brown colouration towards the central umbo. Its conical cap expands with age and may flatten out, fragile to the touch, the surface being marked by minute radiating ridges. The gills are rust or cinnamon brown and dense, and are adnexed or free and release brown to reddish-brown elliptical spores. The stem is cap-coloured, elongated, thin, hollow, and more or less equal along its length, which can bear minuscule striations or hairs.
