FungiFriday: Nitrous Bonnet - Mycena leptocephala

It's been raining every day lately. If it's not in the morning, it will rain in the afternoon or evening. That's why we haven't been to the woods for mushroom hunting for a week. The road leading there was flooded and very muddy, so it would be very difficult to pass by motorbike. But that's not the only reason; the dim atmosphere everywhere is the main obstacle to taking photos. You can't do it just by relying on minimal equipment. Hopefully, tomorrow or Sunday, the intention to come back to a mushroom walk can be realized. Well, if only there wasn't rain.

Luckily, I still have plenty of mushroom stock to share in the current #FungiFriday challenge. These were captured about a week ago when I had the opportunity to go for a walk in the woods.

This is commonly known as the nitrous bonnet, or by the scientific name Mycena leptocephala, (Pers.) Gillet, 1876. The mushroom is small and has a translucent stem with a rusty brown cap surface.

The stem is so fragile and breaks immediately with just one touch. How sensitive! There were spores too, which were smooth and cup-shaped.

The mushroom's gills are brown and beautiful, like most Marasmiellus species' gills. I didn't see anyone in the mass cluster, but that doesn't mean there weren't any at all. I just haven't found it yet.
