How would tell apart Coprinellus saccharinus from C. micaceus

**Steve_mt** · 15. Oktober 2022

Hi I found one of the first clump of macrofungi after the first rains a week ago and it corresponds to the usual Coprinellus but I have to decide between C. micaceus or C. saccharinus. What clues do you have for me? I have a key but I want perhaps have fresh ideas on this platform. Many thanks

Hi Steve

That should be saccharinus

The sugar-like Velum is white (Not brownish) even on older mushrooms.

The stipe should have no setae, you can check with the Mikroscope

Hi Steve

Yes, this should be sacchharinus, these white velum is typical:

C. micaceus

C. sacchharinus

Thanks guys, then it is easy quite easy to distinguish these two Coprinellus and I shall learn these characters for future reference. No setae observed on the stipe.

Great!

Thanks again.
