| Species: Order: Family: |
Lacrymaria lacrymabunda. Agaricales. Psathyrellaceae. |
| Habitat: Cap: Stem: Season: Edibility: |
Disturbed ground in woodland, gardens, and
parks. Expanding from 4 - 12 cms diameter. 5 - 10 cms. April - November. An edible mushroom; however, unless they are cooked and eaten soon after they have been gathered, any meal made from these fungi is likely to end up a black soggy mess. When picking any fungus for consumption,
caution should be exercised at all times.
