Cystoagaricus strobilomyces is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae and the type species of the Cystoagaricus genus[1][2]
Taxonomy
It was first described in 1945 by the American mycologist William Murrill who discovered the species in Florida and classified it as Nolanea strobilomyces.[3][4]
In 1947 the German mycologist Rolf Singer created the new genus Cystoagaricus and placed this species within it.[5]
Etymology
The specific epithet strobilomyces derives from this mushroom's resemblance to members of the Strobilomyces genus as a result of the spiky squamules on the cap.[3]
Description
Cystoagaricus strobilomyces is a small mushroom with grey flesh which possesses distinctive scales or spikes on the cap.
Cap: 4-30mm. Convex, umbonate or campanulate. Grey to brown in colour with squamules (spikes or scales) which contrast the cap. Gills: Start grey discolouring through pale blue and dark brown as it ages. Adnate or adnexed. Stem: 5-40 tall and 1-3mm in diameter. Grey and covered in scales or woolly tufts. Spore print: Dark brown. Spores: Phaeseoliform (bean shaped), mitriform. 6–7.5 x 5-6 μm.[6]
