Galerina clavata

A common Galerina in grassy or mossy habitats, both in open meadows and woodland interiors. Especially abundant in pastures and coastal mown lawns.

It may be confused with similar species such as Galerina graminea (smaller spores and distinct cystidia) or Galerina subclavata (consistently 2-spored basidia).

The microscopy in this study is based on a collection from a landscaped lawn in Usansolo (Bizkaia) in December. Additional photographs illustrate collections from Amurrio and Zuia (Álava) and Arratzu (Bizkaia), all gathered in December.
