spores, this mushroom is pretty distinctive under the microscope--but not to the naked eye. despite its current genus name, it looks like a whole slew of boring, brown psathyrella species, and until very recently it was known as psathyrella conopilus (or psathyrella conopilea). like species in psathyrella...
