The
Velvet Parachute
(
Marasmius elegans
) is one of about 500
species
of
mushroom
in the
Marasmius
genus
of
agarics
. Most members of this genus are small, unimpressive brown mushrooms, making them not readily distinguishable to non-specialists, and therefore seldom collected by
mushroom hunters
.
