Mycena stylobates is an agaricoid fungus colonising the leaf litter of deciduous trees from where its stipitate and bright-white small pileate basidiomata emerge, easily recognisable for a distinct basal disc at the point of attachment of the stipe to the leaf. A dozen of such basidiomata were detected showing glabrous and at most 10 mm diameter max sized pilei, 5 mm long and 1 mm thick stipes, and maximum 2.5 mm max wide basal discs surrounded by a hairy edge easily detectable under a lens (

A group of small agaricaceous basidiomata belonging to Naucoria bohemica was detected on the ground along a path surrounded by Quercus cerris L. and Q. pubescens Willd. in a mixed broadleaved coppice stand where this fungus is an ectomycorrhizal agent to tree species. The chestnut-brown and 2–3 mm diameter campanulate pilei of basidiomata were easily recognisable for being radially weakly striate close to the edge. The stipe showed a dense silvery white coating disappearing at maturity and by handling. The ochre, verrucose and amygdaliform spores exceeding 10 µm in length were produced mostly at the top of 2-spored basidia, and cheilocystidia were apically obtuse and subcylindric (

Trichoglossum tetrasporum is an ascomycete living on the ground in meadows, forests and bogs, and producing a 10-mm high blackish club-shaped hymenophore borne by a non well defined, same height, longer or shorter, narrow stipe. The hymenial and stem surfaces are covered with fine erect setae as in Trichoglossum hirsutum (Pers.)

Passalacqua, A.B. De Giuseppe, G. Sicoli (CLU No. F311). – Species new for the flora of Calabria.
Small agaricaceous basidiomata belonging to Tubaria fufuracea were observed and identified on the ground close to Populus and Salix trees, where this fungus is a plant-remnants degrading agent. The reddish-brown and 2-3 mm-diameter basidiomata were easily recognisable due to the typical small, white veil remnants close to the edge of the campanulate, hygrophanous and striate pilei. The smooth and ellipsoid spores were light ochre and cheilocystidia were typically subcapitate (
