Found growing from the ground, surrounded by fallen branches and leaves in a moist environment.
Notes
Upon initial morphological observation of the collected specimen, the centre of the cap was dark blue and then had streaks of light blue towards the edge. Nearing the edge of the cap, it was white. On the stem, you can see transparent spores left on it from the gills of the cap. The cap had a rough thin texture and it seemed fragile. The upper region of the stem was white with line marks. The stem turned a light brown towards the middle and then light blue towards the end. The stem too seems to be fragile and felt waxy smooth. The fungi did not exhibit any smell, taste, or colour changes with time. The cap was measured to be around 0.5 centimeters in diameter and the stem around 2 centimeters in length. Spores were a greenish yellow colour. The spores were about oval in shape with a width of 0.2cm and length of 0.3cm. Many basidia and basidiospores were observed but cystidia not obvious.
