Lichenomphalia cinereispinula is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Europe, it was described as a new species in 2009 by Pierre Neville and Francis Fouchier. The type specimen was collected at a place called "La Rivière", in the commune of Collobrières; here it was found growing on the ground at an altitude of 135 m (443 ft).[1]
The lichen makes a slender mushroom-like fruiting body with a stipe length about three to five times the diameter of the cap. The convex to sub-hemispherical gray cap measures 0.2–0.6 cm (0.08–0.24 in) and has slight radial "ribs". There are 10 gills and 7 short gills (lamellulae) on the cap underside that are distantly spaced and dull whitish in colour. The thin cylindrical stipe is pruinose with a somewhat bulbous base. There are greenish glomerules at the stipe base, indicating a lichen thallus of the Botrydina type. Basidiospores are smooth, inamyloid, hyaline, and ellipsoid in shape, and have dimensions of 5.3–7.7 by 3.0–4.4 μm.[1]
Lichenomphalia cinereispinula fruits in autumn in Mediterranean climate in the south of France.[1]
