Lepiota

    This photo sent in by a reader was in his lawn, near woods. Its small size and tufted imbrications, along with the dark central disc, immediately make me think of the Lepiota clypeolaria/josserandi complex, depending on the associated habitat. This diminutive and not uncommon group is distinguished by its unique annulus, which unfortunately is not visible in this photo.
