This species is much more delicate and fragile than B. Boltoni. I find it often in dairy pastures. It is well flavored and cooks readily. Found from June to October.

Bolton's Bolbitius. Edible.
The pileus is somewhat fleshy, viscid, at first smooth, then the margin sulcate, disk darker and slightly depressed.
The gills are nearly adnate, yellowish, then livid-brown.
The stem is attenuated, yellowish, ring fugacious. This is rather common in dairy pastures and is found from May to September.
Psathyrella. Fr.
Psathyrella is from a Greek word meaning fragile. The members of this genus are mebranaceous, striated, margin straight, at first pressed to the stem, not extending beyond the gills. Gills adnate or free, sooty-black, not variegated. The stem is confluent with, but different in character from, the spore-bearing surface. Veil inconspicuous and generally absent.
