24.8786 -80.6771 +-194m.
small mushroom on tamarind stump (Tamarindus indica), solitary ST: 20x2-2.5mm, central, straight, even to slightly clubbed, fuzzy like cap at base becoming less so near top CAP: 20mm wide, depressed, strongly inrolled, extremely fuzzy (hairs 2mm long and very dense), rich deep brown, almost smooth and blackish in center FLESH: v thin, light brown GILL: decur, light brown, turns into pores/reticulation on stem, somewhat close, 1.5mm deep Yet another small mushroom I've failed to get a spore print off of. I had considered Lentinus briefly (I should have mentioned the erose gill margins), but ruled it out based on the reticulation where the gills meet the stalk (the photo shows it well). I don't see this feature in the one reported by Ron Pastorino in Texas.
