Lepiota subgracilis

General: Primarily associated with broadleaved woodlands, though occasionally found under conifers, pileus whitish with brown scales arranged concentrically and denser at the disc, faint fungal odor, insipid taste.

Pileipellis: Formed by cylindrical hyphae with emergent terminal elements 120-350 x 10-14 µm, supported on a base of parallel hyphae of similar width, containing brown intracellular pigment, septate with clamp connections.

Cheilocystidia: Subcylindrical, pyriform to subfusiform, 25-35 x 8-12 µm.

Basidia: Clavate, 25-35 x 7-10 µm, with basal clamp connections, 4-spored.

Spores: Ellipsoid to slightly fusiform, hyaline, smooth, moderately thick-walled, 9-13 x 4.5-6 µm, with an eccentric apiculus, containing oil droplets, strongly dextrinoid in Melzer's reagent.
