About
Gerronema stevensonii is a rare species of agaric fungus in the family Porotheleaceae. First discovered in Scotland in 1874, it produces tiny pale fruit bodies with caps measuring only 3–5 mm across. The fungus is known primarily from its original collection near Glamis, Scotland, where it was found growing on very decayed wood among moss. Despite limited subsequent sightings, it remains one of Britain's rarest mushrooms.
