Description

General Ecology: On the shores of Little Toms Cove, Assateague Island in Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Sand dunes with grasses and other herbaceous plants growing.

Ecology and associated species: Growing in clusters around the bases of Panicum amarum and Sporobolus pumilus. Seems to be saprotrophic in nature, growing off of dead plant material.

Pileus 0.5-4 cm in diameter, tan to beige with slight tones of pink, sulcate, dome-shaped when young, becoming flat and wavy in age. Lamellae 1.0-2.7 cm in length beige to pinkish, broadly attached to stipe, close in arrangement. Stipe light tan near apex, becoming more brown near base. Mostly equal.
Taste and smell indistinct

Basidiospores white, ellipsoid to ovoid in shape with internal granules.
