About Marasmius capillaris Morgan
Marasmius capillaris Morgan is a species of agaric fungus belonging to the family Marasmiaceae.

The mushroom caps are initially convex, then become centrally depressed, and feature radial furrows; they measure 2โ15 mm (0.08โ0.6 in) in diameter. The stems are wiry, shiny, and very thin (less than 1 mm thick), reaching up to 60 mm (2.4 in) in length. This fungus produces a white spore print, and its spores are smooth, pip-shaped, and measure 7โ11 by 3โ5 ฮผm. The mushrooms of Marasmius capillaris are somewhat similar in appearance to Marasmius rotula, but are smaller and darker in color.
