      This Pluteus “cervinus” was on the rotting stump of what might have been a pine tree so I thought I would check for P pouzarianus.

      The cap mostly striate just a bit granular in the centre

      the stem was striate

      I then noticed the dark lamella edge

      [attachment=3]IMG_8727a.jpg[/attachment] so that brought P nigrofloccosus(atromaginatus) into the picture.

      Unfortunately the microscopic details ruined all of these tentative id’s.

      The (sub) globose spores

      point to P umbrosus or P platus but doesn’t seem to fit perfectly with either.

      Anyone got any thoughts.

      Thanks

          Megacollybia platyphylla (adnate/emarginate gills and should have a white spore print). Pluteus have free gills and pink spore prints.

            Thanks Roy

            For such a common species I am surprised I have only seen it once before and that was 10 years ago. I just wonder if I have other cervinus records that weren’t 😳
