CabinCove, twayblade area, various.



Mycena murina-group? []
On 3-4" rotting hardwood on cut-off trail past twayblades, in open flat before creek.
| | GEN | | small delicate mushroom, loosely clumped on med-size rotting downed hardwood limb |
| | ST | | 30x1.8mm, hollow, lt tan fading almost white at the top, smooth, fragile, d short white mycelial pubesc at v base |
| | CAP | | 20mm wide, cream white edge to lt brown center w faint concentric lter rings and prom translucent radial striations nearly to center, broad conical never fully flattening out (and becoming ragged before then), smooth |
| | FLESH | | greyish watery, thin |

By process of elimination in
Arora, this is the "catch-all" at the end of the key.
