Conocybe subpallida is a species of mushroom-producing fungus in the family Bolbitiaceae.[1][2]
Taxonomy
It was described in 1991 by the mycologist Manfred Enderle who classified it as Conocybe subpallida.[3]
In 1992 the species Conocybe subalpina was described by Rolf Singer and Anton Hausknecht[4] as a reclassification of Singer's 1989 Conocybe mesospora var. subalpina. However this species is now considered a synonym as it was reclassified as Conocybe subpallida var. subalpina in 2003 by Everhardus Johannes Maria Arnolds.[5]
Description
Cap: 3.5–5 cm wide, starting hemispherical when young then convex to conical before expanding to flat convex. The hygrophanous surface is very pale ochre or light cream with faint striations and a darker brown centre. Stem: 6.5–8 cm long and 3 mm thick with a slightly narrower apex and wide base. The surface is light cream coloured with striations and a pruinose coating over the entire length and a slightly tomentose base. It is fragile and becomes more light brown with age. Gills: Close to crowded, adnate with a small tooth, cinnamon coloured and developing a saffron tinge with age and a lighter edge. Spores: 10–11.6 x 5.8-6.8 μm. Ellipsoid to elongated ovoid to amygdaliform with inconspicuous germ pore and apicule. Ochre-yellow in a 10% solution of ammonia. Basidia: 4 spored.[3]
Habitat and distribution
The specimens studied by Enderle were found growing in a cow pasture between the remains of old grass, wood and cow manure as well as on the side of roads by forests and in grass under trees.[3]
