Before I really get stuck into this one, are there any obvious candidates? I’ve just checked the cheilocystidia. They are unusual and rule out I.hystrix – no sign of metuloids (but what look like internal crystals) Pleurocystidia also present and similar

Key characters include whether there are pleurocystidia as well as cheilocystidia; and the extent of cystidia on the stem – i.e. how far down the stipe do they extend? (this character is easily destroyed by over-handling – try to handle by index finger on cap and thumb at base of stipe). Also is a cortina present in young fruit-bodies?

Thanks all. Measured the hymenial cystidia as up to 80µm long (up to 75µm according to Stangl 2011 thus ruling out I.ovatocystis. Spores 9-10 x 6-8µm.
Looks like a solid record and new for Pembrokeshire.
Scattered “caulocystidia” with crystals at apex of stipe but according to Stangl, these are not true cystidia.
Hi Adam, it’s one of the few Inocybes I’ve looked at but your images look to match what I saw.

[attachment=0]Inocybe_stellatospora_gill.jpg[/attachment] Nice photos. A project i have in mind is a gallery of microscope images. Bioimages is good but quite limited. A more community driven one (not based on profit) is what I’d like to see. Perhaps like Wikipedia but easier to use.
