Here is another unidentified small pale mushroom with contrasting scales on the pileus and dark punctations on the stipe. I think there was/is a ring but got damaged or eroded away. Pileipellis a trichoderm. Clamp junctions were observed. In a phrygana associated with Cistus monspeliensi (or less likely Thymus capitatus). I was guessing about Lepiota, but which species I don't know. In Crete, Lozoides and allies records a number of fungi associated with Cistus, amongst which there is Lepiota locquinii, L. farinolens and L. sublaevigata.

Hi,
did you measured the Spores. I would check Lepiota grangei or L. griseovirens.

Hello Steve,
as Climbingfreak I consider the green-olive tinges in combination with the stenospores relevant for determination. In Central Europe, there aren't many Lepiotae with such green-olive tinges, but what in Malta?

Hi Steve,
I think that could be Lepiota elaiopyhylla, but I'm not sure if the spores fit.

Dear friends
After a hard day of work and part time and house maintenance, I am finally to my escape world of fungi and the kind people in this forum. I have measured the spores and this is the result:
6.4 [7.5; 8] 9.1 × 3.2 [3.7; 3.8] 4.3 µm
Q = 1.8 [2; 2.1] 2.4; N = 41; C = 95%
Me = 7.8 x 3.8 µm; Qe = 2.1

- Lepiota grangei is said to have spores> 10 so it can be excluded
- Lepiota griseovirens is matching nicely - spore range OK, slightly swollen pileipellis

- Lepiota elaiophylla has a very evident yellow tones and is said to grow in green houses?!? I think it is not the one. The yellow tones in one of the pics is because of a bad AutoWhiteBalance when taken with flash at home and drying out. The true color of the fresh fruiting body is more whitish.
Thank you Stefan, Harald and Oehrling for the tips
