Shaggy- Psathyrella echinata

Psathyrella echinata is a wood-rotting fungus characterized by its initially shaggy or scaly cap and stem. The cap is often globular when young, becoming convex and eventually almost flat, with a slight umbo. It is known for the pale, fibrillose spines that cover the cap when young, giving it a spiny appearance. These spines often disappear with age, leaving behind small scales.
