Flowery Blewit (Collybia irina)Observer
wdvanhemDescription
In a deep bed of white pine needles. Scattered, growing singly.
Stipe and pileus mostly white with pale brown shades.
I had a really hard time getting spores off of these, but the ones I got were visually unornamented in Melzer's and 7.5-8.0 μm x 5.0 μm. This is consistent with the MycoQuebec description of this species vs. others in this genus.
