Melanophyllum eyrei, commonly known as the Greenspored Dapperling[2] is an uncommon[2] species of fungus belonging to the family Agaricaceae.[3]
It is native to Europe[3] and Britain[2] in deciduous woodland with scrub on calcareous soil.
The cap can be up to 3cm in diameter, hemispherical, becoming flat with an appendiculate margin. Dingy white, sometimes with a brownish centre; surface granular or powdery.[2]
The gills are bluish green with a pale green spore print; free. The stipe is up to 3cm long, slender and similar in colour and texture to the cap. No ring. [2]
