Hello to everyone. The rain in Malta is finally back after a delay of 6 weeks and the mushrooms start to appear. I am struggling with a Conocybe (or a Tubaria/Bolbitius?) and wonder if I can find some help on this wonderful platform.
Three fruiting bodies from leaf litter of Olea Europaea (and Ficus carica) or jus from peaty soil below. Spore print tobacco brown, pileus wet, toffee-brown with evident radial 'ribs'
Spores, almond shape, with a large/wide apiculum
7.8) 8.1 - 9.3 (10.7) × (4.3) 4.6 - 5.1 (5.4) µm
Q = (1.6) 1.7 - 2 (2.1) ; N=37
V = (81) 89 - 124 (166) µm3
Me = 8.8 × 4.8 µm ; Qe = 1.8 ; Ve = 108 µm3
Cheilocystidia capitate with a strange banded staining in Congo red (apical part stains stronger). Pleurocystidia possibly absent. Basidia stout, potato-shaped or sack-shaped with 4 tiny sterigmata.
I don't have keys of this genus, although some ideas I made are C. herbarum or C. juniana. C. brunnea (or maybe Tubaria hiemalis)
