Psathyrella candolleana are known as brittlestems and they are a type of fungus. It is a very common type of fungus and it is usually found clumped together. They grow near roots of trees, on lawns, and they are all over the world (O'Reilly, 2016). They are small and usually white or golden brown in colour (O'Reilly, 2016). Brittlestems are not toxic and are edible if grown properly and sanitarily. It is not suggested to eat them directly from the wild. Other than choosing to eat this type of mushroom that is considered low quality in the culinary world, there are no other human uses of brittlestems (O'Reilly, 2016).
