First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who contributes or contributed in anyway to this site.
Also tell you I am in hard work now, and maybe wont be able to post or critic a lot the following days, but I will try to be in the shadow watching... here one more fungi.

Mycena galericulata

Basidiomycetes > Agaricales > Tricholomataceae > Mycena galericulata

Pileus : Cap 2.0-5.0 cm broad, obtuse-conic to bell-shaped, expanding to plano-convex, sometimes plano- depressed; margin incurved, then decurved, eventually plane to raised, occasionally wavy; surface moist, striate-wrinkled to near the disc at maturity, color: buff-brown, tan-brown, pale brownish-grey, the margin lighter than the disc, darker overall with age; context white, unchanging, thin, up to 2.5 mm at the disc; odor and taste farinaceous.

Lamellae: Gills adnexed to notched with a decurrent tooth, close when young, subdistant at maturity, ventricose, up to 8.0 mm wide, intervenose, pallid to white in youth, pale-grey to buff-brown in age, sometimes tinged pinkish, lamellulae up to 4-seried, edges smooth, not marginate.

Stipe :Stipe 3-14 cm long, 2.0-5.0 mm thick, more or less equal, slender, often sinuose, stuffed to hollow, cartilaginous; surface glabrous when young, becoming appressed-striate to twisted-striate, hairy at the base, the latter root-like and prolonged into the substrate; color pallid to cream at the apex, lower portion cream-buff to light-brown, dull grey-brown in some specimens, especially near the base; partial veil absent.

Spores : Spores 8.5-10.5 x 6.0-7.5 ĩm, broadly ellipsoid to ovoid, smooth, thin-walled, hilar appendage conspicuous, amyloid; spore print white.

Habitat : Scattered to clustered on hardwood logs and stumps; fruiting from after the fall rains to mid-winter.

Edibility: Edible, although low value and not investigated locally.

Comments: One of the larger members of the genus, Mycena galericulata is recognized by a pale-brown, striate-wrinkled cap, clustered habit on decaying hardwood logs, and a rooting, hairy stipe. It is most likely to be confused with two other wood-rotting Mycenas, M. maculata and M. haematopus. Mycena maculata is similarly colored and equally common, but can be distinguished by sordid reddish-brown discolorations which develop in age. Mycena haematopus differs in having a vinaceous-brown cap with a minutely scalloped margin, and has a stipe that bleeds reddish-brown juice when injured.

Hope you like!

Felipe, Pleasing composition and great POV showing the underside of the umbrella very well. I just shot this very same yesterday when the Tree Bark Jumper caught my eye. TFS

Another perfect shot Felipe.I like the way you haven't 'tidied up' too much around the toadstool before shooting it.I sometimes do,but sometimes it makes for a more interesting shot,having a bit of leaf litter and a few extra colours in the picture.Well done again.

Jolie composition pour ces champignons tout en hauteur. J'aime bien la transparence du chapeau.
Well done !

such a delicate fungus , so beautifully lite Filipe. DOF is spot on too leaving the subject very nicely isolated.

Very good light effect.

very nice shot, realy sharp and good colours.composition is good to.nice textures by the way!

If there can be a pretty picture of fungi, this is it! Great sunny portrait. Especially like the delicacy of this particular mushroom, and the way you have composed the picture--you must have been right down on the ground! Love the leaf litter and the great earthy colours. Good job, Felipe!
