Weeping Widow Mushroom

Weeping Widow (Lacrymaria lacrymabunda, 毡毛小脆柄菇).

There are many mushrooms appearing on Yuelu Mountain due to the humity and rain. These weeping willow mushrooms were not on the mountain itself but in a patch of grass nearby. They have hairy caps. The gills are yellow-brown when they are fresh but soon turn black and are often laden with dew (they drip or 'weep'). The spore print is black but one has to be quick to get it as the picked mushrooms quickly turn to oozing black mush.
