Collared Parachute

The Collared Parachute, known scientifically as <em>Marasmius rotula</em>, is a small saprotrophic fungus belonging to the family Marasmiaceae within the order Agaricales. <em>Marasmius rotula</em> is characterised by its distinctive wheel-like or parachute-shaped cap, which typically features radial gill-like ridges connected to a collar around the stipe rather than attaching directly to it — a feature that gives the species both its common and scientific names. This species typically grows on decomposing leaf litter, dead woody material, and forest floors in deciduous and mixed woodland. It is reported to occur in Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. As a decomposer, <em>Marasmius rotula</em> plays a role in nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan measures and physical dimensions are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Parachute is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

Marasmius torquescens는 Marasmiaceae과에 속하는 소형 부생성 주름버섯으로 최소관심종(LC)으로 평가된다. 건조 후 수분을 회복하면 소생할 수 있는 질기고 철사 같은 대를 가진 자실체를 형성하는데, 이는 이 속의 특징적인 형질이다. 숲 환경의 썩은 낙엽과 목질 잔해 위에 자란다.
