Splitpea shanklet
Collybia cookei
A species of Collybia.
The Splitpea shanklet commonly thrives on decomposing organic material found in woodland environments. Its distinctive cap is initially convex, gradually flattening over time, and frequently displays a subtle central indentation or slight bump. Beneath the cap, it possesses gills that are connected to a thin stalk, setting it apart in its ecosystem due to its fragile build.
