Lab 5 Journal Entry :)

In this lab, I came across the Common Bonnet (Mycena galericulata). This mushroom is around in spring and fall in most of eastern North America and the West Coast. They are usually off-white or pale brown and they grow in groups around and on stumps and logs. This location is chosen due to the Common Bonnet's saprobic nature, feeding off of wood. This mushroom's caps can reach between five and six centimetres in diameter and are characterized by a central bump. Its stem varies between five and nine centimetres in height and two and five millimetres in thickness. With age, the Common Bonnet's gills can become a light pink colour.
