Red-edge Brittlestem
A slender, fragile Psathyrella with a small, bell-shaped, translucent cap on a long, thin white stem, growing among grass and woody debris. Its gills have a reddish tint, especially at the edges. Psathyrella gracilis, the name in older guides and the lectotype of the genus, is a later synonym; P. corrugis has priority.
Not known to be toxic, but inedible: it has almost no flesh, flavor or texture. Small brown mushrooms in grass and wood debris include deadly Galerina species, so none should be eaten casually.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
