Panaeolus foenisecii, commonly known as the Haymaker's Mushroom, is a small and delicate fungus often found in grassy areas such as lawns and meadows. Known locally in some places as the "moixernó de prat," this mushroom tends to thrive in nutrient-rich soils.

Identification Features:

• Cap: The cap is typically 1 to 4 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to convex, and tends to become more flat with age. It has a smooth surface and varies in color from light brown to tan, often with a darker center.
• Gills: The gills are attached to the stem, closely spaced, and change color from off-white to dark brown or black as the spores mature.
• Stem: The stem is slender, about 4 to 10 cm long, and 1 to 3 mm thick. It is usually pale in color and hollow.
• Spore Print: The spore print of Panaeolus foenisecii is black.

Habitat: These mushrooms are most commonly found growing singly or in small groups in lawns, grassy fields, golf courses, and other similar areas, especially during the spring and fall months in the Comunidad Valenciana region.

Note: While Panaeolus foenisecii is technically considered non-toxic, it is sometimes confused with psychoactive species from the same genus. However, it contains insignificant levels of active compounds, making it unwise and purposeless to consume it for psychedelic reasons. Caution should always be exercised when handling wild mushrooms.
