Psathyrella corrugis, is the type species of the basidiomycete fungus genus Psathyrella and family Psathyrellaceae. It is common in North America and is regarded as inedible.
Taxonomy
[edit]It was originally described from Europe as Agaricus corrugis.[1]
The lectotype of Psathyrella is P. gracilis, but naming priority is given to P. corrugis, published in 1794 (27 years earlier than P. gracilis).[2]
Description
[edit]The cap is 1–4 centimetres (1⁄2–1+1⁄2 in) wide, bell-shaped and translucent when young; it flattens and becomes opaque with age.[3] The gills are slightly reddish.[4] The whitish stalk is 4–12 cm (1+5⁄8–4+3⁄4 in) tall and 1–3 mm wide.[3] The spores are purple-brown, elliptical, and smooth.[3] The spore print is dark brown to black, sometimes with hints of purple.[5]
The species is considered non-toxic but lacking in flesh,[4] flavor and texture. It is inedible.[6]
Similar species
[edit]A similar species is Candolleomyces candolleanus.[3] Microscopy may be needed to distinguish P. corrugis from similar species.[5]
Habitat and distribution
[edit]It can be found growing around areas of dead wood and grass throughout North America.[4][5]
It sometimes fruits with Tubaria furfuracea.[3]
