Stropharia pseudocyanea

Stropharia pseudocyanea is a small, pale blue-green to whitish roundhead of north-west European grassland, most often recorded in Britain and Scandinavia. It fruits in autumn among grass, moss and dune turf; details beyond that are thin, so conditions here come from the measured sites and the genus.
