0 spooge Posted December 8, 2015 hey TSO, they could be a Coprinus or a Psathyrella a guess though i found out last season that in mushroom world names a written in italics because then the name sticks out in a block of text. this may be true or not, maybe someone was having a lend, i dunno, it looks good though, like i know what I'm writing about, lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Berengar Posted December 8, 2015 It's a Psathyrella of some kind. Olive, all scientific Latin names are oficially written in italics. Actually, in scientific papers and books and such, all Latin words are in italics. Don't think the main reason is to stick out in a block of text, but it definitely helps. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Hex_OMEGA Posted December 8, 2015 Hi Olive, hi Berengar...thanks for the quick replies..can always rely on this forum. I am probably right in assuming that they aren't an active species?? Which isn't much of a concern...I'd be interested in knowing if they are a highly poisonous species? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Berengar Posted December 8, 2015 Not active, not highly poisonous. Might contain a small amount of coprine, but that's unlikely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
