Psathyrella pennata is a small, fragile agaric fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae, assessed as Endangered (EN). It grows on fire-scorched soil or charred wood in post-burn habitats, making it dependent on natural or managed fire disturbance events. Its endangered status reflects the rarity of appropriate fire-disturbed substrates in managed landscapes.
